LadyMuck - Yep I know what you were responding to - but I responded to that post by quids and he responded to me with the quote I used. So I used that to point out there was, not a withdrawal, but like I said, a major qualification

Yeah, Tony* pwoppa didn't like me - he thought me snide and immature and he was spot on. But posting a stream of digs at me, along with the odd deleted rant, was more his thing.


Offering someone a square go sounds more like MikeCG's MO to me. He told me to "watch it" once, because you "never know".

BBW used to PM me with polite requests for information on things like how much a 100g poke of lemon sherbets would cost him at Hope & Greenwood. Apparently, he got ?2 a week pocket money.


As long as he had completed his chores he was allowed to walk from Court Lane into East Dulwich with his au pair on Saturday mornings. His greatest thrill was to flap his arms in his batman costume whilst running down Townley Road, but alas he never achieved flight.

    • 'Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/28/tom-lehrer-dies-aged-97-dead-musical-satirist  
    • 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
