Cheers, we are so good you had to post it twice ! Lol. I will keep my eyes open and track these pesky fellows down !

Other than that of course of the regular "football focus thread" posters it's predictably Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal. Surprisngly little from Chelsea


plus a fair few Hammers (hurrah) Leeds and Millwall(boo)


Then off the top of my head individually vocal Spuds, Ipswich, Southampton, Pompey and Sheffield Utd regulars and I'm sure some more


Oh and Celtic and Rangers

Cheers for that ! Gonna love that thread this season ! Lol

No, it's that shade of blue that doesn't travel well "over this way" something to do with the light



Other than that welcome, do you have a heart condition or are the blue tinged lips all part of the "get up ?"


Just teasing ( this time )

    • 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.
