Oh dear, I've become an ED cliche. If I were stuck in a lift with Hugh, I suspect I might want to do rude things with him - he scrubs up quite nicely, and I suspect doesn't smell of wee and entrails as his appearance used to suggest.


BBW - Heston, really interesting and nice guy, I think he'd be a dream.

Could you really bring yourself to eat battery farmed chicken and fried chips from KFC in front of the poor man whilst you lick your lips?

Really? He looks like an earth worm to me.

Greg Wallace has no right to judge Masterchef - he's a fecking greengrocer and I want to smack his stupid round leering robbing-your-house-while-you're-busy-in-the-lift head every time I see him.


Nothing against greengrocers, but I wouldn't let someone who sold crayons judge the Turner prize either.

Not to do rude things with! To talk to. He really is very interesting (if tight - went for a meeting with him once at the Hind's Head at lunchtime; was licking my KFC covered lips in anticipation of some delicious treats; nada, nothing, not a sausage - I even had to buy my own bloody bag of crisps!)

Never underrate the humble Greengrocer:

No Orangutan means "Old man of the forest " and this bestows some kind of status and respect upon the incumbent beast.


The Ginger Bee Gee is just a nasally twit.

    • 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
