Don't mock it


Last Year I was told that 'the Shower Chicks' from Waverly caused an all female crime spree in Peckham...


From what I hear they were quite scary and put the boys to shame.


I for one wouldn't like to be attacked by a gang of girls, unless they were all from St. Trinnians of course !!!

God they only scare the absolute sh*t out of me, I think I was scarred from watching the movie IT (Stephen King) when I was 11, even have to turn the tv over if they come on.. *shudder*

My daughter was one of their victims. All I can say to the folk on this forum who find mugging amusing, "Wait until it happens to one of your family/close friends". Everyone likes a good laugh but some of the responses on this forum are shameful.


Both of my older teenage boys have also been attacked two or three times whilst out and about in the area over the last five years but fortunately not seriously hurt. My nephew was so badly beaten up walking back from Sainsburys a few years ago that he was hospitalised. It really isn't a laughing matter.

    • 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.
