ive-met-jimmy has some sort of connection with the Belair cricket team, based in the village, who seem to take their cricket reasonably seriously.


As it goes we're trying to put a team together for the CPT/EDF for a one off game against an SLP affiliated team (cor can i get any more TLAs in there?).


We've not got any dates down yet but if you'd be interested in joining us for that I'm sure we'll need all the help we can get.

Myself I would like to watch some local cricket, whilst sat in a deckchair applauding excellent strokes and/or inspired fielding, and maybe buying a delightful afternoon tea from either the Beer Tent or the Pavilion. I used to do this many many eyars ago in South Yorkshire, where of course cricket is taken seriously at every level...

Not quite ED but I can recommend Dulwich Cricket Club in Burbage Road, SE21:


http://www.dulwichcc.com/


We put out ten teams last weekend (seven Sturaday / three Sunday )so you should be able to get a game whatever your level.


Nets are on Thursday night at 6.30. Anyone's welcome to turn up if they want to find out more.


If not, there are loads of other clubs off the South Circular.

I thought I'd just bump this one a bit as Mr SLP and his cricket team (the Kings Rd CC) are still up for a game against a bunch of East Dulite good for nothings.

Anyone still interested? I'd be up for a bit of scuffed knee and bruised pride; if it ever stops raining of course.

Hi Dulwichheads,


I'm Leon Watson, the crime reporter at the SLP - not the guy you've been talking to but another one. Glad to hear you want to give us a game.


Just so you don't feel too intimidated... we're a team of cricket fans who love the game but don't want to take it too seriously. Some of us are good, some of us are not so good but at the end of the day we don't really care as long as everyone has a laugh.


If you come along we'll give you a good game and hopefully we'll be able to make it an annual fixture. Have a look at our - out of date of late - website www.krcsc.co.uk to get an idea of who you're up against.


Let the battle commence!


P.S. Buy the SLP.

    • 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.
