This was my initial thought as well. When Australians come to stay at Casa WQ - its for weeks on bloody end.

?19 for a ferry to france, forget it, the shuttle is the only way. still at least they give a 2 for 1 kids meal voucher, nothing worse than chucking up on an empty stomach.

I haven't worked out what I am going to do for my summer holiday yet but I know I can't wait for a bit of sunshine :-).


Looking forward to going swimming in Brockwell Park Lido, enjoying the parks and just getting out of the flat more - bit tempting to curl up in the warmth of my flat with a book in this weather. Pub crawl sounds fun too Strawbs - was the one last year I first met you guys.


I quite fancy going on a salsa holiday - I've dabbled with classes but not stuck to it for long enough - a holiday sounds fun and a good way of getting my standard up a bit. Found a company that does trips to Cuba and Spain. Or I quite fancy going to Italy again, if I can get fit enough I'd like to do a walk of the Cinque Terre. Might manage to fit both in - one week in June, one in September... I don't like the heat enough to do something really physical in July or August.

TLS, Don't get me wrong, if our weather was 28 degrees in January, I would love nothing more than sitting in my own garden sipping a pims cocktail and listening to the charming reverberations of my screaming children! However, I do look forward to the lovely British summer, when it arrives in May and promptly leaves in June before Wimbledon.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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.
