You can spend it on essentials like food n drink or a bit of paint to jazz up a gloomy room


On th other hand, there are plenty of truly shocking overpriced tat n ornament shops that would gladly take your money and provide something of no use whatsoever in return


actually, ?20 would only get a small amount of tat in these shops

Arive drunk at 12:00 in the EDT.

Order a pint of Stella. Cost - ?3:20.

When the barperson returns with the Stella and the change, turn into a BIGSHOT and mumble something about the charity box.

Insist the ?16:80 is her's to do with what she will.

You will of course be deluding yourself about the fact that a woman in her mid 20s might be interested in you. Chat with barperson for almost two minutes. Make mention of the Crystal Castles and cause her to raise an eyebrow. Hear a noise to your left, a slick, skinny-jeaned young chap enters. He has actually attended a Crystal Castles gig and tells barperson all about it. Feel awkward. Very awkward. Search for a newspaper to cover embarrassment. Unable to find newspaper, make do with Daily Express.

Drink the Stella. Slink off.

Oh dear.


It depends on the diameter of the roll from which you peel off the ?20 note.


TIP: You only need two ?20 notes. The rest of the roll can be paper cut to size.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
