Mick, just tell her you've got a headache...

You are dead right Mick - life is too short to take seriously - thats why i love a bet:))

Backed westwood at 28's in the open - 7's for the place paid for my weekend.

I have backed Tartan Bearer for the King George but keep an eye on who Ryan Moore opts to ride - he has not yet committed.

No - leave Saturday - currently preparing myself for 2 weeks with the kids. The second week is camping, so def no internet access that week.


Might bet on Tartan Bearer before I go though, King George is one of my fav races. Was there a few years ago when Gallileo and Mick Kinane beat Fantastic Light and Frankie Detorri in a great race. Got a print of it for my 40th birthday. Also had a decent win on Swain many moons ago, which was when I had very little money so its been a good race for me.

Yes I tend to agree. Although Betfair 15.5 suggests some future signings are already built in you have to say that until they are shorter than Arsenal (10.0) an opportunity for Laying it off with profit will surely exist.

    • 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.
