Hi,

Can anybody tell me what is the point of train operators and Councils asking you to take your newspaper with you, and then not emptying the bins at the station. At 6.30 this morning all bins were full to excess with papers on the floor surrounding the bins. Is not a good idea to leave it to the train operators to clear the mess up as they seem to dispose of it quite well.


And another thing.... I popped into McDonalds yesterday (not to eat) and went to the loo. On the urinals it boasts that the toilets are 'waterless' and that they save on each urinal in excess of 100,000 litres of water a year. If that is the case we need to give them some kind of award, as they have so many branches throughout the UK, surely, they have single saved this Island from flooding and even worse from sinking!

Regards,

Libra Carr.

I reckon they ask you to take your paper with you because all the bins are full at the station...

    • 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.
