Bill Nighy doesn't purr. Bill Nighy 'hmmmm's' through thin lips and then shrugs you a snorting guffaw. He then regains his wiry composure whilst his hair falls back into the form it was disturbed from. His eyes then pierce into you from behind those thick black specs, teasing out the undying affection you've held for the cad all your life.


So yes, although I've never met either fellows, this Jah Lush certainly sounds like a fitting substitute for a pet Nighy.

O.K, fair enough, you've got me. I have met Bill Nighy. My great aunt Bethesda was married to a former Vichy Frenchman who rented the impressionable young waif a room during his brief - though sadly unfulfilled - stay in Paris during the sixties. I met him briefly during a summer break on the continent. I walked in on him whilst he was shaving. He told me to f_ck off.

    • 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.
