Fishneed, just read your thread from 13th AprIl. We need more people like you out there! I was looking to sell my property last year (1m+) and with Foxtons they refused to negotiate on the 2.5%.... So by calculation, their fee would have been in excess of 25k and that is before VAT. I think not! Can you post details of what you do on here, if allowed, as I would be very interested in knowing more..

Ganapati is rubbish. I had an awful meal in there. Bland food, weird student-like ambience.... Certainly would never go back and not sure why people rave about it. Omrith at the top of Forest Hill Road should be checked out. The service can be random but the food is generally excellent, different to your usual but worth it.

Poor Rubyshoes, don't pay too much attention to some of the negative attention your honest post has provoked... There is nothing wrong with wanting to protect your surroundings. There is a place for everyone and that isn't always outside your front door..

I went two weekends ago, was disappointed they didn't do a brunch menu at 12. The food was ok, the service was fine. Would I go back? Yes but not rushing. Try Locale, they seem to have sorted out their menu even though the service is slow... I guess you can't have everything... Or can you?

I lost my Siamese cat on Christmas Eve last year, he was only 9. He hald his vaccinations as a kitten but nothing after then and died of multiple cancers. If I could go back I would have yearly jabs as you never know.... I still miss him. Better to be safe than sorry....

I don't trust them at all. Their 2.5% inflexible rate will be their downfall. They claim that they can get you more for your property but that is nonsense and nothing more than woolly marketing. Your property is only worth as much as someone will pay for it, irrespective of the agent.... They lost out ontwo sales in Marmora Road last year, I know both vendors who pulled the business as they were very displeased at the service, or lack of...
