Hi, I have BBW sitting next to me and he is missing the love of the forum, so has asked me to write the following:


"I've been following the social 'faux-pas' at the drinks at Boho on Friday and all I can say is what a fuss over nothing. We all know that if I were to grace you all with my presence, that half of you would all have a babysitter to get in touch with or had conveniently left the oven on.


Say for instance Louisa was to waft in to the room wearing her Dungarees and and all the Dafodils from Peckham Rye in her basket. How many of you would extend your hand to shake hers?


What would happen if Tony was to park his Cortina outside and order everyone a pint of diesel on his slate? Dry tongues all round I imagine.


Basically, we all react differently to each other when faced with the flesh and blood people manning the keyboard. Imagine my surprise when Jah Lush didn't force my nose to the back of my head. He bought me a drink instead. He probably expected me to drink it through a straw.


Can we all turn the tap off concerning this enormous over spill. Can the whole of east Dulwich, or at least those concerned, go to the window in about five minutes and scream out the said window: "I'm sooorrrryyyy"


I'm sure everyone will get the message, sort of.


Yes it's me, making a niusance of myself, except this time I've got my very own editor who keeps pestering me not to swear or leave any crap on the floor.


Take care you lot. It's a sunny day after all."


Ahhh wasn't that sweet??

    • 'Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/28/tom-lehrer-dies-aged-97-dead-musical-satirist  
    • 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
