Thanks for that RD, though being a child of the vinyl generation, mine were mostly lost, lent and left in various places.

But for what 12 inchers I have left the Ronco Fuzzaway would be a boon for the busy Mott The Hoople afficiando, and I thank you for your thoughtfulness.


For your good self I'd give that bowl with scenes from Carry On Camping that I got from Stardust in Herne Hill a while back.

For TLS I'd gift the other one.

For Daizie I'd give the bag/shopper they came in, it's a red/black explosion of spectacular, so it is.

To Daizie if the 10 kids are true I would suggest a sheepdog.

To Pickle I would give a piece of mature cheddar


Michael Paleaologus an easy psuedonym like 'Boz'

Keef perhaps ear defenders about now with his new addition Keefmusiclivebaby.


To the British judiciary a goodbye wave, to the lousiest investment of taxpayers money.

Another optimistic goodbye wave to the members of the houses of commons and lords.


The Royals I would give 2 presents, a book entitled 'How to make your pound go further' and a wave goodbye to something we can no longer afford.

To Alastair Darling, well, what do you give a man aping a Panda colour scheme.

Yes, definitely big fat healthy babies for:-


- Mick Mac (+ mortgage paid for so doesn't have to keep making excuses to the kids about having to go to work)


- ???? (+ a few "100s" to compensate for the ones recently lost out on - *big grin*)


- iaineasy (plus a bike to replace the one recently stolen...and perhaps some - paint-free - shoes)

Please Santa...can you make sure that Computedshorty gets lots of visitors this year? I think he deserves to...he's been keeping a lot of us very entertained all year with all his very clever quizzes and puzzles and his delightful poetry xx


*places a glass of hot milk, some sherry, and a fat slice of Christmas cake on the side for Santa*

Without wanting to sound like an ungrateful swine I do indeed enjoy both but my favourite these days is Woodford's Reserve, which is the finest Bourbon known to humanity.

    • 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.
