Ooooh, how exciting...oh do come...(now don't make me beg)...and what about your lovely sister...will she attend too? Oh please say yes...xxxxx....I promise not to wear my wellies...


>Why not bring hubby along?


If only! He just isn't interested...


Bye the way, Georgia mentioned that there's usually a DJ on a friday at Bohos. Does anyone know if there is a dancefloor? I fancy a good dance.

Well, I never like to burn my bridges...but hang on a mo, if I say yes...then you have to come (*laughs exceedingly mischievously*)

question:

not having been to an EDF drinks night before (and unable to make the 4th's) who out of the regular forumoids is most disappointingly removed from how their personas come across online?


am thinking that most of you are probably nerdy looking and yellow from lack of sunlight, whilst i am a strapping 6 foot with tanned chiselled features and a muscular frame.

I believe it refers to the interior decor of the BoHo Bar. It's orange and brown colour scheme most closely resembling that of a jaffa cake. And after a visit from the EDF it's floor will be as sticky as that orange layer too.


5imon - join the club.

An interesting question. Well I've seen a few pictures from previous 'meets'.


Brendan looks like an upmarket Australian.

Mockney looks like the runner-up in a Greek high-jumping competition.

And Sean Mac looks like a big white owl.

    • 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.
