vhs videos


Recommended Posts

about to take my video tapes to the dump, and just checking if anyone wants any - lots of disney classics like Lady and the Tramp, cinderella etc, lots of scary stuff like What Lies Beneath and lots of rom coms and stuff like 10 Things I Hate About You.

Free to a good home - please PM me if interested, thanks

I did some research... videos have some nasty chemical on them, so they shouldn' go into landfill. There was only one company in the whole of Europe recycling them... and it no longer takes residential stuff, only from companies... I spoke to them though and they said that Southwark probably has a Waste-to-Energy system, where waste is burnt and turned into electricity, so this is probably the best option. PLUS if you take stuff to charity shops that they can't sell they have to pay (as a business) to have their refuse taken away, so rather than donating to them, you are costing them money.

    • 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.
