Rupert Chumley-Worpingston writes: "If it is indeed the case that the ills of this government and nation are in some way attributable to a Scotch and Irish dominance then I fear for the Lions should the manager and captain derive from similar origins".


How can Chumley Worpingston credit the ills of this government to an Irish dominance?


And as regards the Lions - lets go again with a majority of below standard English players as Woodward did last time in NZ and ignore the Six Nations champions of the last two years and see how far we get. What English player deserves to lead the Lions.

What a pathetic comment.

How dare you compare this blue blooded peer to our Dulwichmum!!! The mother of Dulwich is sublime in her elegance that mirrors her conspicuous wit. The 'Viscount' you criminally compare our fairy of sarcasm to trots about town on a f@cking horse unlike our Des res DM who 'motors it up' in her chic Audi Q7. I think the forum and the plebs of Dulwich and it's surrounding areas will agree that there is only room for one Royal exile and that's DM.


P.s Don't let it go to her head.

    • 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.
