Not trying to make any point.


Just an observation after you had made the point of it being empty at 3.00pm which I would expect.

I absolutely LOVE Il Mirto, I sincerely hope it won't be forgotten as it is a true gem of a place. Their pasta is amazing too. Hope there is room for all the fine places in the area offering good pizza (The Gowlett also) and good luck to the new branch of Franca Manca too.

WTF?


Yes, you suggested that previously on a thread about a man who had sadly killed himself. Somebody clearly felt that your comment was inappropriate and removed it.


What exactly do you have against me, Cella?


Foxy and I are neighbours and know each other off the forum.


Please share with me and others on here why you are choosing to publicly attack me in this manner, thanks.


Meantime, I shall continue to post exactly what I please, provided what I post is within the rules of the forum.

Not!


ETA: Anyway, don't want to get this lounged, so (apart from my keenly anticipated reply from Cella) let's return to discussing the food, vibe and rammed-ness or lack of it at certain times of Franco Manca :)


ETA: Oh, oops, if nobody else posts after this I shall be accused of "having the last word" again. Duh.

    • 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.
