Would anyone agree that it would be a great idea to have a couple of hours a day,(regulated),buggy free in lordship lane!Just imagine being able to walk freely along the pavement,go in to the shops without a buggy jam!Any buggy pusher flouting the 2 hour period would have thier buggy confiscated,(on the first offence),then, if they buy another one,a more severe punishment!What d'ya think?

Ha ha, brilliant. Ban the buggies! I think you're onto something. Inspirational stuff. Let's meet up, I think I love you. Can I bring my mum? No? Your mum? Fair enough.


Buggies. Ban them. Awesome. Two hours! Not enough.


9-11 People (idiots) with buggies

11-1 The retired, those requiring assistance, the halt and the lame

1-3 People in work clothes, muddy boots and no shirts

3-5 Lone females, key workers and pizza delivery boys

5-12 Stubbly men in Gap jeans, sunglasses and lager. And their molls.

I know how annoying it is being held up behind a sea of buggies but now find myself a mum too and therefore one of those annoying people on the paths :-$ We need our buggies to carry the heavy babes, vast changing bags and heavy shopping bags so spare a thought for us too! We're already self conscious of this and the hostility and general irritation from people (without little ones) around us isn't very pleasant during an already (usually) stressful day. I'm sure most mums would LOVE not to have to drag a buggy around. I propose a separate 'buggy lane'??? :))
And why is it that only people with buggies have no manners? All of them mind, not just one or two people, but all of them, whoever they are, wheverever they go, all time. Always. Everywhere. I've never ever met another person or category of persons who ever forgets their manners ever. Every other type of human being I have ever met on Lordship Lane has always been charm personified.

Spikes on buggy wheels don't pay for themselves you know. My kid found your porn collection btw. Sicko.

    • 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
