Hey all,


Happy New Year!


Tomorrow marks a full year since starting this thread and coming out as a board game geek!! So glad I did. Thank you all for making 2016 almost bearable 😜😘



Who's around this eve for games and drinks and suppressing the urges to gloat/cry when you win/lose?

Thank you, Brad! I'll be looking forward to the anniversary.


Sadly Rob and I are still caught in some post-Christmas nonsense. All should be back to normal from next week. Can't wait to be back gaming!

Hey all,


We are a year old to the day on Thurs!! As a celebration, everybody needs to be buy me lots of drinks 😜


I'll be bringing Inis for the next few weeks. It's a bit of a weird one... I think you'll get a lot more out of it if you watch the rules explanation at the beginning of the following video:






As always, there will be lots of choice. And I'll be bringing it again if it doesn't hit the table or you don't get to play it this week.



Cheers

Brad

    • 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
