This is your golden opportunity today to tell your Employers and The Government to stick it where The Sun definitely don't shine!

Tell 'em your off for a Month, in case the weather doesn't get better!


The time and social conditions are right for radical change so....


En cada barrio, Revolucion!-Vive La Revolucion!-

TLS - you are a naughty boy. I'm picturing the young Ade Edmonson as the anarchist in the Young Ones ...


"Hey kids, stop snogging and pay attention to me. 'Cos if

you're a wild-eyed loner standing at the gates of Oblivion,

hitch a ride with us. 'Cos we're on the last freedom moped out

of Nowhere City, and we haven't even told our parents what

time we'll be back ! So put on your dancing trousers, and get

down to the utter King of Rock and Roll, CLIFF RICHARD !!!"

Don't think East Dulwich is ready for a Revolution yet Quidsy!


It will catch on though..I know some Peeps from The Elephant and Castle, where I used to live, are revolting...

I (sometimes) work at Goldsmiths College... a supposed hub of radical thinking and hey... any political uprisings there???? I don't think so!!!!!! so if it ain't happening there it ain't happening anywhere, least of all on the nice safe streets of tidy old East Dulwich...

I think The Students of yesteryear could afford the luxury of the odd "sit in" not sure they can in 2009!


We will just have to organise our own Revolution without them...(tu)

    • 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.
