Might be worth checking this out as they offer 0% finance deals. Alternatively if you have two credit cards with sufficient limits you could transfer the amount from one to the other if the other offers a 0% rate for x number of months (I think a lot of cards do though they charge a small percentage of the amount as a fee).

I can't help with a recommendation for a rhinoplasty, but I did have to consult a plastic surgeon for something completely different recently (large, facial mole removal). My advice would be to ask anyone you're planning to use, not just to give you glossy testimonials but ask if they have previous clients who would be prepared to speak with you about their experience of the procedure you want to have, or would provide a no-names but specific recommendation for the procedure.


It was quite surprising to me but a number of the surgeons I consulted flat out refused to show me "real client" before and after pictures or would even consider consulting their previous clients to ask them to give a recommendation I could see. I went with a surgeon whose office was prepared to do this, and I've been extremely happy with the results.

Not if the patient consents - I certainly wouldn't expect any info to be shared without that. However, my surgeon asked me if I was happy to share my before and after as she does with all her patients (which I was). And I'd also be happy to give her a recommendation if she contacted me and asked me if I would be willing to speak to a prospective patient.


Most people wouldn't hire a builder or architect without asking to see photos of previous jobs, and I'm considerably more concerned about how my face looks than my house! Plenty of my clients ask for references when they first instruct me. It just really surprised me that some surgeons/clinics point blank refused to even consider how they could provide me with any evidence of how the procedure I needed would be in practice.

    • 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.
