There are people in this area working day & night to keep a roof over their heads,

meanwhile, you're sat here complaining about tatty advertisements & not being able to enjoy the flowers...


I can't imagine having this much time on my hands. What on earth do you do for a living?

Excuse me? Have you backed down from your crusade? Where'd your spine go?


Publicly funded buildings should never advertise anything, ever. I don't care if children are starving in the streets and dying of scurvy. If a school has a program to help feed them, they need to keep that to themselves. Or better yet, social media. Which platform? I don't need to do their work for them. The two words "Social" and "Media" should be enough for them to figure it out.


But yes, in your words Nigello, these buildings have been "obliterated" by this blight on our society. It's as good as a declaration of war, in my opinion. It seems Tooley Street isn't inclined to do anything about it either so we'll need to take to the streets ourselves.


Do you hear the people sing?

Singing the songs of angry men.

It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again!

When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drum!

There is a life about to start when Nigello comes!

What kind of weird noddy land d'you live in? If schools can generate extra money during holidays etc I'm perfectly happy for them to put whatever they care to on their railings.

    • 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.
