Hi! I'm Moving To East Dwulitch! Or I Might bE!?!


Recommended Posts

Oh no!!! Really. I'm very busy. I can't even find time to read the 3 threads on the first page that are by people in similar positions to mine! Ha ha!


So, is there lots of crime? Apparently Peckham is quite close by? Or do I mean Wandsworth? We're looking in Shepherd's Bush too so I get confused.


What's the nearest tube?

Don't worry about Peckham, we don't allow anyone from there into ED, we identify them from the 'Peckham stoop' and furtive mien (if mien is the word I'm looking for).

Wandsworth is not the way to go, it's got no identity of its own and most people call it 'Not Clapham'.

Shepherd's Bush is a good idea though as you'll be nice and close to the Empire if Ian Hunter decides to play there again as he did in Octber 2007.


You're welcome.

It used to be a great place full of 'diamond geezers' - I remember it well, like it was only yesterday - :)-D , and a 'bustling' fruit /veg market and vibrant 'high' street. Then lots of 'middle class whites' moved in and the demand 'for' fruit and veg declined - (as these things tend to do) - (or so my Thai ladyboy friend who is staying with me at the moment tells me) ::o


Lots of police around at the moment, crime is definitely on the up probably due to 'out of towners' from neighbouring yet deprived Peck'narm and Nunhead (also known as Gunhead by the 'boy yoot man dem') crossing the 'border' and coming into our 'endz' to 'commit' ferocious 'acts' of 'crime'.:-S


You'll 'love' it here.B)

Hey Lady!! I put up a similar post about 18 months ago... :-S

    • 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.
