That's part of the fun.. lol.

We always find new people. We just look out for people who look lost.

Where does it say beer is FREE. Have you set up a Tab for us ?


Foxy

Not at all, we need a sit down before the feast.


We met up successfully at the EDT and then eight of us then made our way to Dulwich Tandoori where we were greeted like old friends.


It was good to be back together after the extended Summer break, much catching up was needed.


There was a big welcome to our newbie - evea - who fitted right in and I think enjoyed the lively, erudite and witty conversation :)


The food was excellent, a complementary spicy salad, then poppadoms, starters and main course with sundry beers and wine. This was finished with complementary port and digestifs. ?25 a head, seemed most reasonable.


Do we fancy a December/ Christmas meeting? Perhaps December the 7th or 14th?

You were missed Charlie. Hope you feel a bit better soon.

    • 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.
