I have noticed that I very often find myself saying "what Jeremy said", to the point that I hope I'm not freaking him out. I have met Jeremy a few times in "the real world", so I am glad I am agreeing with someone who actually is a nice fella with a brain.


This is not to say I agree with everything Jeremy says, but often do.


Who on here do you most often find yourself agreeing with / puts what you're thinking a lot more eloquently than you have?


Of course Louisa is another one I tend to follow like a blind sheep.



Edited because there were about 5 typos!

The city is not run by top hatted effete public schoolboys, but By streetwise Essex men & women, mixed with rugby playing toffs & thick necked guttaral colonials - not a group you really want to take on


What snorky said, boy talk's sense more often than not, you just sometimes have to apply the snorkyfilter

Sean bless him is one of my favs, he talks a lot of crap as well as a lot of sense but I love him for it nontheless.


Keef always talks sense and stands his ground so have to respect that.


*Bob* makes me giggle plus is possibly one of the most attractive gentlemen I have yet to feast my eyes on.


Whilst we are on this, can someone open a thread about who talks the most bull? (tempts fate)


Louisa.

Anyone who informs me that Johannesburg is in South Africa is all right with me so Brendan.(tu)


Brendan Yesterday, 10:57PM

Johannesburg to Benoni (these places are in South Africa) in 15minutes, the journey at normal speeds normally takes at least 30minutes.

Only a few days ago I had to explain to a posh public school boy type I work with who is doing his masters in politics, where Durban is. So I though I best not make assumptions.

    • 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.
