Forget the 'rocked up'. Who calls women 'birds' anymore ? How old are you Brendan ?

I hear in these parts your ladyfriend might be referred to as simply 'Me Ladee'. Not to be confused with 'Yes Me Lady' Parker from Thunderbirds. A demonstration...


'I bin hangin out in Dulwich Park wit' me lady innit blud'


Something a bit like that...er...blud.

Sad to say Georgia, I can actually trump your story. Someone once bought me a Pot Noodle for lunch. I'm not even convinced it's food.

Pretty glad I did in the end, as she confessed to me she had a recurrence of gout in the middle of my American Hot.


Needless to say I did not see her again.



What's so bad about that, do you know what gout is? (not being patronising, but I have had it, and know loads of others who have, didn't really know anything about it, until I couldn't walk one day!).

    • 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.
