No, of course you don't, that happens much earlier in the evening!

OK . But.. always ?


Ok, no, I've just looked back through your posts and they're not always nasty and negative, but quite a few of them are especially when you first joined.


And believe it or not I do have a sense of humour, I just don't see how being unpleasant for the sake of it is funny or livens things up.


But in this case it seems you were unfairly accused. Other people have confirmed you story on the thread in the gossip section, so I'm sorry you had a bad experience and I'm sorry you sincerity was doubted.

That must mean im getting better then ;-)


Now I know what some people are going on about. I just did a search and read some of FelicityNormal's posts. What a girl! Even by my standards that is weird! The similarities are uncanny . However, she did say that one of her parents was black, mine is'nt, so I know I could'nt have written it sleep walking / typing .

    • 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.
