I did mean the baby d song yes but i had completely forgotten how amazing the video was i shall now enedevor (i can't spell that word) to live life with fireworks, candles and headscarfs at hand for when needed. As for the 'The Velvet Touch - 4 - Rosalind Russell Leon Genn' brum it has affected me because my dad is called michael so it is very very wrong. I've also been considering velour as an alternative to velvet, I could mug some chavs of their tracksuits and stitch them together.

With that thought in Mind, Susan Boyle is now offically ditched and can I just say


Clears Voice, puts on best Terry Thomas Impession and says "Well Helllooo Miss Sophie, you sound a pretty spiffing sort"

Oh I see why the Velvet Touch film clip may have affected you! It was funny though....

Also I suggest your idea of stitching naked chavs together may not make the most comfortable sofa.

Oh no after getting such a lovely warm welcome i fear i may have to disappoint you XWP by saying who is Terry Thomas?


Brum you may have a point about chav's not making a comfy sofa escpecially if i get a few of the ones who have limps, they might have pointy hip bones or something.

And I'm sure XWP that The Candyman wouldn't have any truck with your lubricious intentions.

I don't mind visiting this sewer myself but you leave Baker out of it.

And now you drag Terri-Thomas into this mire. And in School For Scoundrels as well!

Many a happy hour did I spend in my young days reading the Stephen Green books about 'Lifemanship', 'Gamesmanship' etc.

Even before I fully understood them I loved them. And of course SFS is based on the books.

Sorry, didn't I mention that to begin with? Are you sure? Well now I come to think of it you might be right. I suppose stranger things may have happened.

Anyway about that tenner.

    • 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
