Seeing as I've never met any of you but going by what you post I sometimes find myself building a mental picture of the other characters on the forum. These images are usually fleshed out by tv personalities and characters. Please don't be offended.


Seanmacgagham - A younger David Attenborough.

TLS - Michael Palin but with an earing.

HonaloochieB - A slimmer version of Steven Fry and with stubble.

???? - All four of the young ones.

Dulwichmum - I sort of know what you look like but you remind me of a cross between Nigella Lawson and Patsy from Ab FAB.

Keef - A cool but slightly embarressing dad.

Louisa - A pint size Cruella de Ville.

Michael Palaelogus - A Greek version of Dara O'Brien.

Mockney Piers - Not sure.

Thanks for that BBW, but I'm not actually slimmer than anyone. Spot on with the stubble though.

I initially had Jah down as my dad, because he knew all the local pubs and liked a drink. I then realised he was lots younger, loved his music, and bad habits, so he became Keef Richards in my head.

When Mike P started posting he said he was ginger and had a pink shirt, so I pictured him as a Chris Evans lookalike but with a zanny edge.

Sean thanks for saying I'm cool, I'm sure I'll manage to be an embarrassing dad on occasion though ;-)

Wow, Jah Lush as Bill Nighy is absolutely right (although Jah is younger)- Jah, when they make a movie of your life they will certainly cast Bill.


I didn't know who Sally James was, so I google-imaged her... 'fraid she looks nuffink like me. Nice stockings, though!

    • 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
