My fictional character is dead to be sure, He was pushed off the ghost train at the end of Brighton peer by Pinkie and fell into the sea.


But I "Fred Hale" am still alive as I live and breath.


Sorry Mr Lush, I think that was a good guess as Fred Hale works for the Daily Messenger but I am not a reporter. Nor am I Mr. Macroban.


Still no claims for your 10 shillings I see

Dear Mr WoofMarkTheDog


For your information and to educate the general masses, rare ten shilling notes are worth a pretty penny or two. Please see the following link to find out how much??


Also please be informed that according to the vetenary clinic that I use to remove my dogs “boisterous urges”, the consumption of chocolate by a dog can lead to death or serious illness, therefore I advise you to lay off the curly wurlys and get some good boy chocolate drops (especially formulated for dogs) as a replacement.

    • 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
