You should be working in Brixton then you'd know what the edge really is, and no it's not the green bush outside your 'ouse.

There's this building near where work that has police going in and out of it all the time, day and night.

The place must be an absolute hotbed of criminality.

Torture, it's the only language they understand.

Apparently they speak funny and wear odd clothes! Ugh, how distasteful. Some people are just so stupid, aren't they? I think many of them deserve to be poor, not that I'd wish to be uncharitable, I give to the Lifeboats. I work very hard for my money, and don't speak strangely or associate with 'characters' as you might call them. People should be more like me, then I would be able to respect and understand them.

Not quite true, HB. I understand they also understand "innit".

Why on why on why has public flogging on Goose Green been done away with? Its madness and a sign of the times.


Clearly the wrong 'uns and ne'er-do-wells that prey upon us need to be shown a lesson.


Perhaps we should send them to Australia again? Most of Australia seems to live here anyway, drinking our beer and impressing our women with their digereedoos and wotnot.


Its the fault of the foreigners. All of it.

Are you suggesting that the two incidents may be linked, PK?


I hope that you are able to shed a little more light on this situation and put my mind at rest.

    • 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
