Now I know I'm just asking for trouble in asking this question, and I will confess to trying to seek some inspiration for some work that I was supposed to do at 9am, so that I can go and get dressed and then go and get drunk.


But, are any of you aware of any meat scare stories / urban myths - you know, along the lines of the Kentucky Fried Cyst, or chickens that are born with no heads and just grown for gargantuan breasts?

I think the chickens piled high, pecking each other whilst sat on their own excrement without being able to even turn around is scare story enough (and not an urban myth)


But yeah when the round robin emails about the latest KFC myth ("that's why they changed the name to KFC - cuz there is no chicken in it anymore!!) come round I do roll my eyes

    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set 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.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
