just when your faith gets restored in the British public, there's always a few who forget how to have a drink without throwing their toys out.


However, no part of Britain is immune, the rural towns are even worse!


If they get caught by the police they'll be treated fairly harshly, you can be assured. Big crackdown on this stuff over the last 5 years.

it's amazing what the expression 'Your mum' can do to a grown man. Stems from those primary school days, when said statement was delivered with painful authority and the confusion you felt when you tried to figure out what your mum had actually done. Oh the cunning psychology. Lol

I believe the expression "Your dad has had more bums than a toilet seat" was always a starter of a good old dingdong. Well seeing that it kicked off in a toilet with 10 men.... maybe that was the case. And the dad in questions son was suitably offended and decided that a fight with some chairs was the way to go as the toilet that started it was bolted down.

May I just chip in and say that my umbrella was pinched from under my seat at the EDT on Saturday night. It was chucking down outside so I wasn't best pleased. The place is obviously a den of murderers and thieves and should be closed down before the crime wave spreads to, say, Black Cherry.

Now we find the real victim in all this.

Giggi leaves home all gamped-up, spends a convivial evening boosting the local economy only to leave the EDT gampless and because of the rain lagging down no doubt arrived home looking less than pristine, Christine.

If she decides to go back there with a Penguin style purple knock-out gas emitting brolly and wreaks havoc this Saturday then I for one wouldn't blame her.

Who's with me?

    • 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.
