Goodness, just seen this thread..hilarious ! apart from being a "pink convert" (might own that one) I must check with my sister to make sure it's ok that myself and my Civil partner/husband can still see my niece and nephew before the watershed.

I must also start watching all the soaps, I mean what the hell are the gays up to before the watershed that straight characters aren't ? sounds saucy ;)

It's simply a matter of choices which are largely dictated by the way some people are wired.


It's all very well to indulge a little;


- Some may do so to see how the other half lives,

- Some in a spirit of experimentation - dipping a toe into waters they've been told aren't for them and finding they like it,

- Some in an all-embracing attempt to get to grips with modern Britain,

- Some through sheer ennui

- And some because it's been their guilty, pleasurable secret for years and now they feel it's more mainstream and they can talk openly about it.


But when all is said and done there can really not be ANY excuse for watching Emmerdale, Eastenders, Coronation Street AND Hollyoaks.

I like 'pink convert', but I'm wondering whether it addresses those of a lesbionic persuasion..? Most of the saturated gay ladies of my acquaintance are not so much the pink.


I'm mostly hetero (please can we have that second e) but I'd like to think of myself as s Mauve Medusa for any moments I may find myself daydreaming about Selma Hayek. Perhaps the gay saturation is more of an Ecru Exchange.

Yes. She's been having an affair with Cora Cross for years.

And Jamie and Ben are at it, as are Roxy and Shabnam, Lola and the young woman who works in the pub, and obviously Sharon and Linda.


Re Phil: after he was buried alive (which happens *all the time in London*) he had a sexual epiphany and started a relationship with Mick from the pub. Mick's wife doesn't know yet, though.

It looks like the gay mafia are operating on the forum .

It was Max who was buried not Phil Mitchel.

Some of my work does involve t.v review and monitoring.

I am not gay,sorry to dissapoint I know some of you were hoping.Had any wins lately Bob,and red devil may i call you pink devil now.

I don't hang with the grammar police usually, but a comma instead of an apostrophe represents a whole new depth of dumb. What do you eat soup with? A coat hanger?

Whether or not they look too butch? Have stubble showing? Or is it a simple march strut past in full regalia (medals on show)?


I'm guessing the second part is more a case of how many look clumpy in heels?

    • 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 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.
