Hi All,


Well, the DHW club had its first meeting this week, with a few ideas kicked about for how the group should go forward.


There are plans for a Forum where the group can meet to discuss all matters relevant to the homeworker, and to hold regular meetings towards the end of each month.


If you'd be interested in joining then please visit www.photograph-er.co.uk/DHW and register. Alternatively you can keep an eye on this posting for the dates/locations of future meetings.


We're open to you if you work from home for whatever reason, be it self employed, or simply because you're home based, and you miss not being part of a bigger group of people. We hope to give you the chance to bounce ideas around, have a bit of a moan about procrastinating over your accounts, maybe a bit of networking or simply getting out of the house.


Regards

Eric

Is this something people would be interested in? If so, drop me a mail, [email protected] Subject: Homeworker Club, and I'll keep you posted on venue/date of first meeting.


Thanks for showing interest, but can I ask you to mail me please. It's easier to set you all up on a mailing list than to PM you all! As we know, time is money! (I'll also only BCC you for the first few times, until we all get to know each other.)


Also, Loz's idea of a party is something I had seriously thought about as perhaps the first meeting. Not a beery night out, we all know how to do that, but perhaps lunch somewhere local pub to get to know each other.


So if you want to come along to our first meeting, which will take the form of a "Party" then drop me that mail , and the day of the week you'd prefer, and I'll sort out a venue. I'd see this taking place on week commencing Monday 15th December, before we all may have to start drifting off around the country.


I look forward to meeting you all in due course.


Cheers

Eric

Hi All,


Just to say, if you are interested in this please visit www.photograph-er.co.uk/DHW where you can join (or remove yourself from) the mailing list.


If you have contacted me already there is no need to sign up again.

    • 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.
