Whooooaaa, what the hell did i start here. One little comment about a local business doing a good job and it's been ripped apart from all and sundry. There was me thinking that this forum was about the lcoal community, I'll certainly refrain from supporting the community in future.

I guess as you're recommending the clipper it should have probably gone in the recommendation section of the forum. And you have to admit your original post does sound rather marketing speak... Still looking for a decent barber? Not happy with your coiffure? Badly cut locks getting you down? Look no further because I've found the answer!


Anyway I reckon a lot more people know about the clipper now than they did before. Personally I get Mrs Mark to cut my hair and coincidentally she does use my preferred weapon of choice the clipper(s)

I went to the new place on Lordship Lane last week, the one near SMBS. A little shorter than I had intended (my fault) but a good decent summer cut, no annoying chat, quick and all for the good value price of ?12.


Yep, that is an unconnected plug. Nope, Ive been infrequently writing on the forum for two years.

yeah i guess your right,thats why i tried to put a bit of history on my second post. I wasn;t aware there was a recommendations section on this site. But if people really think it's plug, why not just ignore it and it would slide off the home page in no time and no harm done, but because of everyones replies it's stayed at the top all day, so even more people see it, doesn't make sense to me. Certainly on my part, lesson well and truly learnt!!!

Keep your hair on Jimi



Awww...... have you not read the forum & all it's high jinks ?


Probably way toooo busy getting all those "haircuts"


Any other recommendations....Hmmm? .....come now don't be ......shy



"Coooee chhee cooooee..."




Grr


W**F

Jimi, the problem is that it's happened a few times... dodgy "recommendations" for estate agents, bars, builders, etc. So when a brand new poster posts a glowing report of a business, people understandably get suspicious. If your recommendation is genuine, then I suggest that you don't take it personally.

A decent haircut for under ?12? How preposterous. Are we living in the dark ages? Would you let the council cut your hair?


Go somewhere fashionable in East London or the West End. And expect to pay around ?30-40. Unless you want to look like a football hooligan.

Oh dear me Bob, come out of the dark ages please! Do you wear deodorant? Do you wash your clothes? I do hope so. For the sake of any women in your life.


Oh and (you wouldn't know this, as you don't pay for decent haircuts) but the effect lasts much longer than half a day.

    • 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.
