Eh? When exactly did I say I behave like an obnoxious tw*t in my dealings with customers? I recall one thread where I said exactly the opposite Sean... (?)


Lately you seem to be attributing bizarre things to me that I haven't said, have I offended you in some way?


Sorry but I do find JR incredibly smug. A review of a veggie restaurant that turned into a patronising critique of vegetarians particularly annoyed me.

Was a good day got to big it up for Lambeth council lot's of seating area,bins,loos and helping bod's spoke to one of the food vendors it cost him ?1800.00 quid for the two day's pich.

SMG you walked right past me in the food tent not even a good day turned round to speak and you were gone ( what have I done ?)

Not to worry Bob s. Sean's a Bumpkin from the arse end of Ireland so he was probably caught up in the whole atmosphere of the event abeit punctuated by terrifying flashbacks to the barbaric treatment at the hands of the Christian brotherhood school teachers. That might explain why he may or may not have been crying at some point during the event.

Oh, he was stood in front of a sign that read 'Jews are rubbish' or something to that effect and largely being ignored (I'm being serious)


I like Jay Rayner, for the record.

Ahh.. I walked by Neil Horan in the company of MrBen and we both did a double take.


he is also the "cover star" of the book below which is consistently funny and scary in equal measure - seek it out, I urge you (Admin stole my copy)

    • 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.
