Has anybody been watching this, we do enjoy it here at "W**F Manor" It turns a few pre conceptions* on their heads . Yes ,I do know a couple of Indian families quite well, but I haven't been privy to this much day to day detail.


I do like the joy & love they share but mostly their adaptable nature & humour for life.


These are real people ( In the eye of the camera ) going about the details in life so well


Compelling ?


Yes very & I like it

* Oh please

I have to agree with you Woof. Didn't really enjoy the last series of it much, but this time round it's really entertaining. An interesting family, and an eye opener for me too. Can't help but love the relationship the old couple have, absolutely hilarious.


Do you think the young girl (Shay?) will make up with her Mum by the end of the series?

No I don't think she will;, but the way to trying will enlighten her I'm sure. Remember her dad was an alcoholic, so much denial has been a way of life for her family. Also "Shea" is called Sharon & her brother is Dave, not traditional Indian. She is also trying to get her mum to a classic Indian wedding, sooooo


I don't hold out much hope



But I love the programme , I do

    • 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.
