It was a great game Mr.Ben and i wish Judds had have won it for you.J.H. has all the experience and cool as a cucumber.Still, get a bit back on Sunday and lay Man Utd cos the Blues will take the 3 points.Also class will prevail in the Champions League final when Barcelona will take the cup.Messi will educate Looney in the art of football and the arrogant serf will be chewing at 90 miles an hour.(but dont tell Laddymuck and the reds go marching on on on)

Go Go Go CHELSEA.

No Alan,not backing down,i stand by my opinions.My original post was for Mr.Ben to lay Man.U. so that he had Chelsea and the draw in his favour.Quids suggested a better bet would be to back Chelsea to win which would not be in Mr.Bens favour.Speaking for myself,as i said i stand by my opinions and have backed the Blues,albeit at slightly less odds than Betfair at 9/4 with Betfred.
  • 2 weeks later...

Was at the Oaks yesterday and had 3 winners from 7 and made a small profit as relatively short odds winners. Nicolas Abbay won the coronation stakes in a superb battle with Henry Cecils horse Midday.


Backed Wonder of Wonders in the Oaks which came a close second.


Anyone following the Derby meeting today? any thoughts? Was going to back Kieran Fallon but he is ruled out now and might switch to the French horse Pour Moi....

    • 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.
