Don't get me wrong, I love a night out PERIOD. Saturday nights are good. More chance of a leisurely day, bit of planning, people tend to have parties or dinner parties, yada, yada yada.


But Friday nights...absolutley love 'em. Finish work and get right on it. No 'Going home to freshen up' malarky. Best night of the week, always has been (despite the amateurs). I've got Friday on my mind!


(PS all academic wishful thinking as I hardly ever go out ever now i've 3 kids under 5)

Friday by a country mile, end of hard working week and all that.


As Joe jackson said in 1978 in his song 'Friday' :

"

Monday morning

Friday's far away

Pray you'll make it

It's a magic day

Bells will ring and you'll go out to play

Spend your money

Pass the bottle

Friday rules

Friday rules OK


Ain't talking 'bout Monday

Ain't talking 'bout Tuesday

Ain't talking 'bout Wednesday

Ain't talking 'bout Thursday

I 'm talking 'bout . . .


She don't care no more

She don't need to fight it

She don't care no more

She gets paid on Friday

"

Anything can happen on a Friday ... no plans just go out after work and see what happens!


Saturdays are usually too regimented with someone having actually arranged to do something or go somewhere. Saturdays can also be a bit of a ballache as you may be dealing from that Friday night!

Or as The Easybeats put it.


Monday morning feels so bad,

Ev'rybody seems to nag me

Coming tuesday I feel better,

Even my old man looks good,

Wednesday just don't go,

Thursday goes too slow,

I've got Friday on my mind


Chorus


Gonna have fun in the city,

Be with my girl she's so pretty,

She looks fine tonight,

She is out of sight to me,

Tonight....I spend my bread,

Tonight...I lose my head,

Tonight...I got to get tonight

Monday I have Friday on my mind.


Do the five day drag once more,

Know of nothing else that bugs me

More than working for the rich man,

Hey I'll change that scene one day,

Today I might be mad,

Tomorrow I'll be glad,

I've got Friday on my mind,

    • 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.
