I am really completely overwhelmed again by the aggression and ire vented on this site.

I am happy for someone who has done something awful to get a pasting on here (Jacqui Smith for one!), but too many people take their vague preferences and turn them into something a whole lot more poisonous. All to often these are directed at small businesses who really need support in these difficult times - not a verbal assault.

I would like to suggest a 3 strikes and out rule. 3 complaints against a post / poster and get them off. Just to try and keep people interested in remaining balanced and open minded.

Wow, this place is like a tranquil walk in the park compared to the British Army forum or even Bruce Springsteen's politics site.

Or indeed another forum which is supposedly about music but which is made difficult by two crazed racist trolls and a born-again Trotskyist... Or the Lantra-L discussion list which is for professional translators but invariably breaks out into screaming over Arabs/Palestinians/occupied territories/born-again American Jews and all that jazz.

I prefer the whole idea fighting on the forum, and making love on the streets.


Pavement Queensbury rules apply of course.


Where?s the whipped cream and honey on mi tongue lets go for it especially with any pretty small businesses assistants.



I guess the most important thing is that we all have some fun and a little forum anger is good to keep us all on our toes?

    • 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" ?

"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."
