but the story isn't about any of the above and i thought that the thread was


i don't know about forcing a billion people to do what they don't want to, i don't know about all these stories that people tell about covering up paedophilia, or about the lateran pact (you didn't do well there in relation to not making a reference, by making a reference) - i really don't so i'm not commenting on them - can you share any FACTS about these? and about the pope being a nazi?

Hitler Jugend innit -his views on the position of women and Gays are not exactly 21st - or even 20th - century


Odd isnt it , how a legion of ( officially ) celibate males are deemed to be so utterly sage like, they can force their antideuvial opinions on something they have no experience of, onto others.


I would hardly go and consult a vegan for advice on the best cuts of meat at William Rose, yet the catholic church is deemed an acceptable opinion on sexuality and its issues.

    • 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" ?

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."
