Shall we try it the other way around and eliminate candidates?


I'll start by suggesting we eliminate the Magnolia. Nice pub, but we need to spread the love and not go there yet again.


*ow, Piers, you can let go of my arm now!*


P.S. cdonline, haven't heard 'none of my beeswax' for donkeys, took me back to school and made me smile.

Sue - did you go tothat Kraftwerk night?? I really fancied it but then forgot about it?


I'm preferring the pubs we haven't been to yet as a suggestion - all of them sound good and liek quids I prefer a beer. But it's Christmas a brave suggestion by Georgia

There was a notice on the door of the Wishing Well last week that said: "We cannot open today due to a problem. Any problems, please call 07xxxxxxxx".


There is currently another notice pointing out that to gain admittance, you have to be over 21, and are not allowed to deal drugs on the premises. I realise this might limit numbers at an EDF meet, so thought you might like to know.

If the Wishing Well is the choice of most then The Wishing Well it can be. Was only thinking it would be good to do something a bit different for the Christmas drinks and go somewhere maybe with a DJ or some sort of music - but that's just me :)

"that's why i suggested the Wishing Well, so everyone can have a clean night for once."


Are you suggesting we normally deal drugs, hit on gymslips or partake of mud-wrestling...or all of the above?

Is there anywhere that would cater for that as it happens?

Yes, best night out I'd had for ages, started very very very late but well worth it :)

I'm up for the Wishing Well but where's the fun in having a clean night? Bollocks to that!!!

The one and only time I've been in the Adventure, that Toby chap was telling us that he was trying to encourage dancing and suchlike, although apparently he's not having much luck so far.

That was due to having new managers (yet again) and the license needing to be renewed, or something like that anyway.

    • 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.
