Yeh I have that prob at full moon, are you a Cancerian?


Edited to add: Didn't make the connection between the full moon and the not-sleeping-pacing-round-the-house for years .......


Edited to add again: It's actually full tomorrow, not today ....

Pardon in advance, but don't Scorpios have a reputation for this generally ;)

giggirl,


Don't despair that your post has been hijacked by ignorami.


Not only is it a beautiful full moon tonight but also the Red Planet, now 62 million miles from Earth, is at its brightest this year as it lines up opposite the Sun. Mars is to the left of the Moon, about the length of an outstretched fist away.


I encouraged/cajoled my children to look at this celestial spectacle tonight, explaining how the orbit of Mars etc etc and they were suitably unimpressed. Words like 'boring' and 'whatever' come to mind.


In short, I feel your pain. You can lead a horse to water ...

    • 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.
