We got about 50 people along to the last one - biggest turn out yet I think. Mixture of regulars and new people, I think we benefitted from some new years resolutions.


We just get together to have a drink and a chat. Its good to get to know the people that are chatting away on the Forum and rather nice to then find yourself bumping into people you know when walking up and down Lordship Lane.

I had 1 and a half zombies one sunday afternoon (couldn't finish it all) that was after half bottle of red hours earlier with sunday lunch. I was off work for 2 days.

I dont think I'm doing that well, but I'm working on a few of my friends to come along. There is a joint birthday party on the same night though, that will account for most of them. I have to work the next morning so the EDF drinks is more sensible option for me.

I really don't see how someone getting another drink can be misplaced kindness 'personfied' ;-)


Who's the person?


I mean Bush could be fascist zealot 'personfied', or Huguenot could be too many hand shandies and a bottle of campari 'personified', but picking your nose isn't Spanish strategy 'personified'. It's an action not a person.


Yeah...so.... I know, hit me with your fish.

wow - the expansion of the drinks continues apace! After the Phoenix I thought it might have peaked but it seems to have given lots of people the confidence to come along. Good stuff!


I think the sunken area of the BC will be a great spot as well

That sounds dangerous!

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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.
