I saw a maroon Rolls Royce without number plates double parked and surrounded by police motor bikes (and no one writing a ticket) about 10am today in Peckham Hill st.


It also had an emblem of a crown sticking out above the windscreen, what is a royal personage doing in this neighbourhood?


Slumming?

This is bizarre - I also saw this, but with one additional wrinkle. There was someone tinkering about under the bonnet, and it looked completely incongruous. He was this tall, good looking light skinned black guy - mid forties, American looking. Expensive well cut suit. He was with this elegant black lady, also very tall and American looking, but she seemed a bit frustrated with his efforts to fix the car. Lots of sun-glassed body guards with ear pieces and bulging jackets. Probably armed.

I sincerely hope you have the skills to rigourously search, copy, and put it up on here macroban,


as my credibility is at a low point due to a recent posting, I need all the help I can get.



PGC as you rightly say they don't break down, 'it failed to proceed' was the description from RR.

Well apparently the "Royal" car in question was just about to drive off when they noticed in their rear view mirror a piece of paper stuck to the back window,so they stupidly got out to remove it.......well you know what happened next...



....Yeah true man.......nahhh reeeally...some gang from Peckham innit

    • 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.
