What because men/dads never do the cooking or the supermarket shopping? I do both in our household.


Care to post the names of these products so us guys can boycott them?

Haha Loz, that's not a reasonable conclusion!


Because someone wants to research a group doesn't mean they come into it with prejudice or preconception: quite the opposite.


They could be researching a product like a hot sauce that is already popular amongst men, but has comparatively less fans amongst women.


They could be researching things that have female health benefits.


You can't boycott a food manufacturer because they're doing research.


Even if that wasn't the case, manufacturers don't have a responsibility to change social morals: 70% of women in the UK claim a they do the majority of food shopping: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/majority-of-british-women-are-still-responsible-for-cooking-and-food-shopping-research-finds-9605815.html


If you don't research your biggest market you'd be an idiot.

Hugo! Welcome back!


I avoid 'Persil Color' because they can't spell. I avoid ASDA because their advertising only welcomes mums.


So yes, I could quite easily add this lot.

    • 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.
