Thanks for the reminders. Have now added my support for this application. Up the Hamlet!

I am against it. For those with eating disorders this information creates yet another barrier to overcoming anxiety around maintaining a healthy diet. Eating disorder charities believe that this action can increase fixations on restricting calories for anyone with anorexia or bulimia.

Would recommend Austen Jones on Upland Road - helped with Power of Attorney some years ago. https://www.austenjonessolicitors.co.uk/

Thanks to Julian for a thorough gutter check and clean, including some minor adjustments/repairs - all undertaken with a smile and within initial cost estimate. Would definitely recommend Julian - communications are clear and all work is clearly explained. Thanks again.

- Out of interest, did everyone get a follow up date when vaccinated? I haven't yet, but some have I was told that I would receive a text in about 11 weeks inviting me to book number 2.

This is what happens when kids are made to home school.

Sounds as though they have raised the bar then. I am aware of a local 70 yr old who got through and successfully booked an appt.

"No need to get grumpy...."? Ben's replies here and elsewhere strike me as being anything but grumpy.

"Hello, I hope you are in good health. I wanted to introduce Quick Plumbing services to the forum as it is a local plumbing company based in London. We are available on 020-8574-5499. We cover all aspects of Plumbing works and also offer an emergency service 24 hours a day." Nice highjacking of a thread related to a specific company based in East Dulwich. You say that you are local then say that you are based "in London". You seem to have a business address in Southall - which isn't that local.

Try Austen-Jones - based in Upland Road. Have not used for dispute resolution but have used for other purposes and have been pleased with service. https://austenjonessolicitors.co.uk/ [email protected] 020 8693 0900

Speedy repairs (Alex) on 07969808729.

Another strong recommendation for James. Very easy to communicate with. Quick to find time to come round and to rectify a couple of issues. Gave the impression that no job is too small. Will definitely contact James again for any future electrical work needed.

You have my sympathies OP - both with your predicament (and sorry that I cannot help)and with the last two "helpful" responses ignoring your original message's clear reference to Steve and his current whereabouts!

Can recommend Mark - 07401 241251.

Not fake as far as I am concerned. Not sure what the "same phrases" that concern you are and why wouldn't the telephone number be repeated? - that is how you get hold of them! (they also have an email address). It is true that Aria will always ask for a review here (once a job is complete), and to facilitate that happening he will send you (the client) a link to this site. It is then up to the client whether or not they act upon that request. I have no issue with that approach - of course Aria is looking to promote his business through positive feedback. In my experience there is no pressure if you don't act upon that request, which is a nice contrast to experience with some Amazon retailers or Airbnb providers!

I guess that it depends what it is that you want done. If you need a Gas Safe plumber then I have found John Powers (07977 909339) or Peter Bennison (07788 412880) to be reliable. John Powers is an ex Worcester Bosch engineer. For more general plumbing matters - fitting taps, replacing water pipes etc then Aria (07739 734895) has been entirely reliable on the two occasions when I have called him in.

Thanks to Aria for sending one of the tilers on his books - Mark - to efficiently and competently rectify a nasty shower leak. Both Aria and Mark were friendly and easy to communicate with throughout the process.

EDB appears to be doing a fantastic job of picking away at any credibility that he and his chums may have had. "Vexatious Litigant" springs to mind.

Well said dbboy.

Another glowing endorsement for Steve who quickly identified and rectified washing machine problem. Very reasonable call out charge plus parts.
