Hi,


Just before going to bed on Saturday night at about 10.30pm, I noticed a group of three youths wearing black hoodies hanging around, looking very suspicious. I watched them for a while then noticed two entering someones back garden while the other one kept watch by the railings of the gardens. They were obviously looking around to see if they could gain entry into someone flat.

They then moved further up the road. I called the police at this point, and when the police car entered the gardens they all split up, and one ran down the road, confirming that they were up to no good. To my amazement, the police car drove right past them. The police office then called me back, and asked me if I had seen where they went, which I had, as one walked very calmly down towards the Peckham rye. A few moments later a few more police cars turned up, and started circling the gardens, and they were then joined by a police dog, which was lead throughout the gardens area. I don't know if they managed to catch up with the youth I saw walking down towards the Rye, but a police car did stop down there for some time with it's flashing light on. I didn't hear anything else from the police.

Anyway, be vigilant people.

Am I the only one tiring of Falcaos fairly constant random and frankly rather tiresome "puns"?

I don't want to seem like a misery guts, bit of brevity doesn't hurt but the umpteenth time round, it just ain't funny.

How about saving it for the Lounge?


(Prepares for witty pun based retort)

    • 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.
