Hello there, we've got a bit of a problem that I hope someone can help with. We ordered a dining table from Ebay recently but it didn't fit through our front door when it was delivered (stupidly, we had mis-calculated the dimensions of the hallway!). We therefore sent it to a friend's flat in Penge to store while we find a solution to the problem.

We live in a first floor flat with a big bay window at the front. The table will easily fit through that bay window - we only moved in a few weeks ago and that was the way we got our sofa and armchair into the flat. We therefore need someone who can hoist the table up to the first floor and through the window. The big removals companies will charge a lot for this service (categorising it as a mini house move) so we're hoping to find someone local who has the expertise and equipment (i.e. some sort of hoist and some protective materials for the table) to complete the task. The job will involve collecting the table from Penge, bringing it to East Dulwich (Underhill Road) and carrying it in through the window. Clearly we'll need at least 2, probably 3 people, for the job.

Any advice or quotes for this work would be greatly appreciated.

  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.
