Like, cool your boots, momma.

Gold Lee are hep cats and have probably taken the 'phone off the hook to partake of a little number or two before busting their collective hump catering to the needs of the local squid heads.

Don't get so frazzled you might work for the man, it don't mean you have to bring all that uptightness back to Casa Rosie.

It's bad for your chakra.


Switch off your mind and float downstream.


Give at least a ?1.50 tip.


Peace, baby.

I would have so hated living in the 60s.

You know what they say Moos, if you can't remember the sixties you're lying about your age.

Or something.

Not been checking the forum for a while but finally, amongst the boredom posters, attention seekers and idle banter we have an issue of utmost local importance - the best salt and chilli squid.


This classic British chinese dish is often on the takaway menu as a starter and comprises battered squid, rock salt and chopped red chilli often with some diced spring onions for good measure. The best is lightly crisp on the outside with tender (not rubbery) squid within and cooked fresh rather than heated up in the microwave.


Rosie - god bless you sister, for I share your affliction and have found an unlikely champion in Cafe Noodle by Franklins. It beats Mr Liu's and Gold Lee hands down BUT ONLY FOR CHILLI SQUID. I actually buy my S&C squid there before going to the mighty Liu's for everything else. Pick n mix chinese. Very important. Let me know what you think.

Soooo not cool, Moos. Going around punching people would have put you on the side of The Man. Female Division.

Did the hippies put their faces in front of billy clubs/gun butts, for nothing?

Did the yippies encourage book stealing/anarchy for the good of their health?

Did The Fugs deliberately not learn to play on the first rcord just to mess with us?


Answers; No; Maybe; It's The Fugs, it'll involve some sort of theory, so who knows?

Well now, they've only gone and hijacked it, but let me tell you MrBen, I am very excited at your news. I haven't yet had the good fortune to try it out, but let me assure you that I shall be doing so at the very first opportunity (it turned out, when I got off my lazy arse and walked round there, that Gold Lee were in fact open - maybe they just forgot to pay the phone bill).


I love the squid.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
