I know Quids - I just logged it at the time and thought I would keep it in mind in case Arsenal did make a good start. 7s is good odds and I think it would be a lot shorter if they had beaten MU - but they have a few more tough ones coming up, so we will know soon if they have a chance.

I'm still tracking Rip's next venture at Ascot. Next weekend I think. Keeping powder dry - although my mate from Derry/Londonderry is visiting tomorrow and he is a bit of a gambler, so he may tempt me Saturday.


One of my big wins this year was ?600 profit on Kauto Star in March, I texted him and he said he had it too, but for "big money" whatever that means, maybe best I don't ask.

I think it is RD. Momentarilly thought I'd try to make it along but just remembered its my wife's birthday that weekend so a no go, but will def get the race on the TV, I've been waiting for his next outing for since the Sussex stakes during my hols!

    • 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.
