It's a different sort of button in here though, is it not? More of a pantomime bunfight by a load of people who know each other too well.


For Lou - an altogether less satisfying experience - and all those rich pickings over in the general issues section going begging at the same time.. must be infuriating (ho ho ho)

1-D is key when setting-up a character, the less you have to remember, the less likely you are to forget what that character would say/has said.


Lousia, how old is your character supposed to be?...

The irony of all of this, is that good old thick skinned *Bob* still cannot (Or knowingly refuses), to acknowledge that by definition, many (most) of his contributions to this forum are along the same tired old lines, time and time again. A made up character yourself *Bob*? Once again shifting the goal posts and not responding to my questions, so that YOU aren't accused of the very same things you accuse me of doing. Great stuff, no, it really is a good move. It's clearly working too, because no-one else has pulled you up on it either.


Louisa.

Maybe so...but some posters still engage with the content of what Louisa is saying. It's a reaction. Perhaps not so much on this thread.

Jeremy of course he is. Thank you for at least being the only ONE to admit that! No one else has the guts to.


And *Bob* that is therefore different to me in what sense? None!


.... Yet I get all the blame. Takes two to tango my lovely.


Louisa.

Don't justify it red devil. *Bob* as much a made up character with his constant sarcasm and put down schtick. Let's face it, that is what *Bob* does, he has done it well over the years, despite becoming largely predictable. But you can't claim he is other than that. What other contributions has he made to the forum other than that?


Btw thanks for comparing me to the krankies, always been a fan.


Louisa.

This is seriously funny.


Lou and Fox have been exposed as one trick ponies.


I used the term "troll lite" for a reason. It's not a classic or malicious trolling act - just a one dimensional and stale one.


If only the forum could self regulate by voting people off....I suspect two would have gone by now.

Anyway I can't believe anyone would seriously give enough of a monkeys about being 'banned from General issues section' (like, whoop, big deal) to feel the need to issue 'stop press - my official response to' threads over here.


I mean, really - think about it. its just not dignified.

I'm going to stand up for fox here.. certainly don't agree with everything he says, but his posts have never seemed unpleasant or confrontational in any way. Just a guy who doesn't buy into the "zeitgeist" of newly affluent East Dulwich.

    • 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
