Just a reminder that ????'s, RD & Gingerbeer (where is that woman?)have still to post predictions.


Current scoreboard which means anyone could win though it would take a bit of a Foinavon for it to happen.


Scoreboard

Name Total

???? -3

Red Devil -41

David_C -81

maxxi -112

G'Beer -122

Medic -131

Mick Mac -157

Probably Meds. ???? has been very clever keeping his predictions around the 15-15 score, plus or minus a few points, it's the poker player in him coming out ;-)

I thought about going for a Wales win, as the odds on a correct score in rugby are pretty slim, but I genuinely think England will nick it and break Celtic hearts :)

Worst case scenario today is if Wales win by less than 7 points. England will be Champs but won't feel much like it having lost a GS. Still for a young team it would be a great outcome but perhaps the rules of the 6 Nations should be changed. If teams are level on points the winner of the head to head, wins. It would make this situation a winner takes all game and more of a cup final.

I underestimated Italy's chances. Sorry.

    • 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.
