what the hoo-ha? i am completely lost on this thread,

which is maybe a good thing.


can tell you what, though, i will be taking tosh with me

on ALL future trips to lordship lane.


oh, but one thing i DO know: "it" can't be quids or sean mac

because both are very good-looking and neither are LL shopkeepers nor "exotic". ;-)

Blimey *Bob* are you saying The Kinks are webbed up in all this?

This'll be breaking nationally by noon. Mark my words.

If only there was a locale reporteur to stand the story up.

Well said Keef. And HeidiHi, you can buy Wham bars in the shop formerly known as Budgeons. HonaloochieB and TedMax you should have your own TV show - hilarious. I was about to nip out and buy a trashy mag but no need with threads like these.

I went to budgens, bought some, including dib dabs, don't ask, I have weird cravings and the wham bars have changed, they used to be big pink chewy bars with multi coloured fizzy crystallised sugary bits, these wham bars were thin and didn't have anything on them, sorely disappointed I was :(

Well - that's narrowed the field a bit........... 'exotic' and 'sells vino' mmmmmmmmmmmm. If it's whom I'm thinking of, he's not exactly Omar Sharif is he?

I think I can read the between the lines here.

*Bob* is hinting that radio's very own Jo Good is caught up the scandal that everyone is calling 'Poxgate'.

The salons of the capital talk of little else.

      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.
