Having had a peek at the 'hate' thread which was depressing simply because if you hate it it's not worth writing about, please enlighten us with what you love! There's probably a thread like this elsewhere but so what. I will start the ball rolling with a song from Van Morrisons 'Astral Weeks' called 'The Way Young Lovers Do'. I would like to expand my knowledge of music through the ages so please feel free to add to the collection. I guess it's all subjective but give it a go and try to find something in your memory banks that just can't be dismissed.

I had a live version of this on a 7 inch by the Flaming Groovies, where the hell did that go?

One of the all time great intros.

How can i be sure - David Cassidy. I love the original by the Young Rascals but the David Cassidy version is my favourite, don't knock it just because some pop prince sang it. He really did the song justice. I also love Dusty Springfield - I just don't know what to do with myself.

    • 'Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/28/tom-lehrer-dies-aged-97-dead-musical-satirist  
    • 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
