Where has it been inferred something wasn't "fun" "positive" or "exciting"? My own comments were simply suggesting that it would have been a good community gesture. I'm well aware about business/marketing/PR campaigns and I certainly wasn't complaining or indeed fussing. I simply don't like marketing where it looks like you're getting a fab deal - as advertised, for example, in se22 encouraging you to sign up in a manner that looks like it is something particularly exclusive, not mentioning fees until you go to that particular part of the website (it's a bog standard membership nothing special) - and you're not really. I'm allowed to express my views aren't I?

would've been a nice supportive incentive of the picturehouse towards the community if say the first 100 to sign up didn't have to pay for the privilege or something like that... seems that although the "goal" is enticing local support, locals are paying for the venture. I have nothing against the picturehouse at all I just think this particular scheme is a bit cheeky. If they were a charity this kind of thing is quite normal of course. And of course they're not a charity.

Did the person in question address you by name on the message sue "this is a message for *Sue*" or a generic one "this is *Samantha* calling in regards to..." ? Could just be one of those computer selected number thingys based on area... *shrugs*

I've seen similar activities on our street in the past. Police are aware but it's difficult to catch them apparently

"New peckham"?

I knew it!

Every time I'm off work there's bloomin' builders chopping, drilling, sawing, hammer banging in the surrounding areas... is this deliberate? ;-)

I'm deffo one of those who annoys the hell out of most of you - I can assure you it's done mostly out of habit especially when dealing with callers from all over the world using various devices AND one shouldn't assume just because you're sitting in a particular area that the person you're giving a number to knows where you are or where they are! Cant's really understand the frustration here... More annoying are those amongst the human race who insist on pronouncing the zero part of a postcode as an o and try to correct you when you repeat it back with a zero! eg. SE22 ZEROer V SE22 oer

Oh my this is a dangerous thread... where to start! No no I'll curb my life frustrations and keep quiet.

shhhhhh

:-O are you physic?

second grade? Where a WE now?

I was given one the other week that was named "mate" I nearly burst in to tears... not sure if I was simply emotional or hysterical! :-s

Hadn't this pathetic "issue" been raised before in the media? Seems a bit out dated...

Ive never seen one with my name on it :-(

maybe not the "norm" but certainly the "trend" can't agree with you on "move out quickly its not because their lease has ended, its because they've gone bust" - simply not true in the instances I've seen. The businesses in question are very much still alive and kicking.

Loz, this "friend", is this you?

Hey I never said I was in favour of such "flexibility". It's simply how things are. I see it regularly in other areas where a business will move in to a property, completely gutting/refurbing a place, only be there a couple of months, move on and the whole thing starts again for the next occupier. Expensive waste.
