"Am I?"


I'm obviously being obstinate Rosie but from where I'm sitting you've chosen to jump on me again because (I may be mistaken) you see me as an obvious target where as if you read through the thread I merely suggested the title of Schindlers List over Jah Lush's choice of Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke because the likely event is that the animals would be put to death like the victims of the film I chose to mirror what I imagined would be passing through the mind of the condemned animal. If it were able to hold such graphic anxieties. I didn't, in any part of this thread make any reference to the holocaust, you're the first to bring this up (referencing genocide).


"Because on the scale of human atrocities I don't think it quite ranks up there with genocide?"


As I said before, I never mentioned atrocities anywhere in this thread so I can't really comment on the above statement.


"You've got me banged to rights and no mistake."


I don't like to gloat, but I hope I've made my point clear enough in the above explainations to be a competent case for the defense.


"What the @#$%& are you talking about?"


Read this post from the beginning.


I'm not chopping up what you've written for any comedic value or indeed, skewing your point. I just find it easier to explain myself this way.

I can't comment on any mistake you may or may not be guilty of making.


Schindlers List is a film that documents the true story that see's war profiteer Oscar Schindler put himself in great jeopardy to protect the Jews working in his factory from the Nazi's.


The one where the boat hits the iceberg is the film in which Kate Winslet gets her tits out on a voyage that reminds marine engineers that nature will prevail.

    • 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.
