No probs, they are so cheap now that there is virtually a cost parity in the med / long term to flouro lamps now. I used to be a shop fitter, companies like Foxton have big budgets for bulk deals & probably get them made in China. Also bear in mind they paid ?390 million for the company, the brand re-vamp & expansion was costed into that no doubt & E.D is a newish branch. W**F

Ok Monday nights T.V 1. The Street Great drama, alcohol, violence & self destruction 2. Manson on 5 Drugs , ultra violence & sheer chilling & bloody brutality 3. The Wire Drugs, guns murder & violence bla bla 4. I Witness BBC1 Drugs, guns murder & violence, plus Mexican politics bla bla bla. Not unreasonably I'm a little fried by at last count 40 odd ( more to come for sure) murdered,stabbed , shot bla bla Compelling T.V. oh yeah ! but all this violence & no alcohol to blot it out tonight, how's a man to sleep ? W**F

Sorry I bridle at the "Chilling concept" specially a "Big Chill" See not one for that type of organised fun, I love a crowd at a match but dancin' round a bottle of tepid Chardonnay wearing crocs and a rain mack.Meh I'd rather juggle sushi knives in a strobe lit room, thank you very much ! W**F

Also they have a penchant for the pull out webbing type temporary barrier, a desk clerk indicates for you to walk around a pointless barrier in an orderly fashion, then as you arrive at the requested destination they seem to engage in conversations with others for a time. They make a face as to be listening, you say all or part of your request, they then to send you to another colleague only for you to repeat the previous request " Swimming, is it open ?" again. Drawing a blank face the first guy steps in and says exactly what you said in the first place to his colleague . "How many persons for to swim please?" There stands me & two young children. "Two children 1 adult" "How many persons is under five or five years" "One" "No matter I make charge for both under five" In a perverse way I like this random but officious east european manner, I can also appreciate what driving Skodas & ladas for all those years might do to your sense of humour.

2 kids , 1 adult peak time (whatever that means, there was a total of 5 of us in the pool) ?6.00 Earlier in the week ?5.25 It is fair to say this venture is not run solely by business people, the times are erratic so call & check it doesn't clash with a swimming gala. W**F

That reminds me a Littlehampton band were called Way Out Taxis for the same reason.

Hmm ....see they change colour the Foxtons signs,it's only LED that can do this.If you look close you can see a web of lamps behind the signage.

Dear Sir, I write in relation to your branch on Lordship Lane although this issue may well be true of other Foxtons branches. I and many others have noticed that your shop front and office space remain fully lit well into the evening and quite possibly right through the night. I assume that this must be down to company policy rather than forgetful staff? If it is the former, I would be grateful if you would provide me with the contact details of the company director most able to effect a change in company policy. Wasting energy in this way is a social nuisance, environmentally irresponsible, and financially ridiculous. I would therefore like to challenge the thinking behind this policy and hopefully stimulate a change that will be of benefit to everyone. If this is not a company wide policy then I would be interested to understand the reasoning behind this managerial decision. Alternatively simply switch the lights off when you lock up. I look forward to hearing back from you. Regards, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe in short you the Foxtons knockers should just say FOXTONS, yes all of you. We dislike you intensely you and your lights.Your cars....braces...oh just everything. Though we do take some pleasure in knowing you overvalued the business you bought from Jon Hunt for ?390 million pounds , think of him now with a pile of cash laughing his no doubt very expensive socks off. Also knowing that you flex tested the market to minus 30% and not the 50% reduction you see now really hurts, so much so that the USA company sprang a leak and sank in no time. Please know we get no greater pleasure than whipping up any old carny to pillory your company with. Really what next, the people of the Parish will want to know if you re-cycle those 24 carat gold staples and paperclips or chuck them aimlessly into the eyes of newborns. How you live with yourselves is beyond anyones comprehension, on here anyway. East dulwich Ps. Turn the lights off even though they are low energy saving LED ( Jealous , NO...) and that my house has devalued by at least 100k and that many still can't get on the property ladder hurts and that you being the most shameless grafters of the property world must have something to do with it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How about that ehh, that's more like it. Like the thwack of elastic braces on your nipples. Lets not beat around the bush with Dear sirs, company directors, social nuisance, environmentally irresponsible, and financial ridicule. No yours sincerely Richard Farquar Poncey britches biscuit barrel. No speak for the people. Howl at the moon. W**F
