- Person posted honest recommendation

- DulwichFox "called them out" for being dishonest and flagged up previous personal differences and brought up Louisa.

- I said I feel sad that person is picked on for an honest review and have a word with DulwichFox. (I've spoken to DF and all's well).

- *cue dark clouds, lightning and thunder* Louisa says she is picked on, say it's my choice when people can be disrespectful to other members of the forum and complains that honest people are favoured over her.


Louisa, you were confined to the Lounge for persistently taking threads off topic and reducing them to your thoughts on class and gentrification, it was making parts of the forum unpleasant for others. At least you now have your stage and your own personal spotlight focused on you in the Lounge, lighten up and enjoy it.

Just to further clarify this: I think it's particularly lame/weak/aesthetically unappealing when posters with no particular horse in the race pile in to take a pop at these two, once the point is well and truly made, as on this thread. "Me too sir, me too, I also think they were naughty, can I have a star?".

Not at all.


Your opinions are often valid - important, even. But then, you also post a lot of nonsense. Which many of us realise is a joke (albeit it an odd one), but the casual reader might not.

Numbers and *Bob* so far, as usual where DF&Lou are concerned.

Not when Lou has no right of reply in that section it cant.

Now look, Grok (aka "I agree with Foxy") I'm sick of 'the usual suspects' complaining about cliques on here, about how they gang up and share in-jokes and have exactly the same pov about EVERYTHING and probably often PM each other with who-smells-like-what jibes - and I'm NEVER included.


Never put in anyone's bloody clique.


What's wrong?! I wash!

I also think that at one time it seemed like people were emboldened and rushed to have a dig at Lou and/or foxy. But I can also see why Lou and foxy were doing people's heads in at that time.


I've always rather liked Lou's class war thing, and in some ways I've always been with her. Foxy is a good chap, but one who will not be proved wrong, even when he's been proved wrong, which can be grating. But I think both should be allowed to post wherever, there are far more abbrasive posters in the main section who seem to say what they like.

Otta thanks for the kind words. I appreciate I had gotten on people's nerves, and probably still do. Being confined to the lounge just limits my audience so maybe that's why I'm tolerated more here. However, as admin knows only too well, my class related/gentrification comments are just the tip of the iceburg. You can confine me to the lounge, but you'll never silence me on the consequences of not acting upon this. The very people who have damaged this area are the types who post about dog mess, organic gift shops and hipster bread in the main section, hence why they hate me because I've got their number (and they know it). It infuriates them that someone like me exposes their hidden contempt for working class people, and I find that mildly amusing. As you rightly point out Otta, lots of smarmy loud mouths elsewhere on the forum who are never pulled up on their comments. I was picked on for one reason alone, my influence. Too much exposure in main the section. Wouldn't want the media catching on that not everyone is happy with gentrification now would we? And this person who foxy pulled up, only ever comments on businesses aimed at the new people who've settled around here. Funny that.


Louisa.

Don't worry, self-aggrandising delusional bollocks is fine here in the lounge. Carry on.

*Bob* you will never receive a ban. Admin adores you, as do I. However, you need to be careful, the clique are circling us individuals waiting to pounce. Using positive business feedback on the forum as a guise to slowly erode away individuality and I believe admin is in on it too. Lots of cosying up earlier. The fox, a famous local face given official warning for exposing more undercover gentrification by the back door nonsense in the main section. Just be careful.


Louisa.

What Otta said.

Totally agree. Just hoping for the next instalment: when the alleged party house strikes back.

No, I was wearing flat shoes, if I wear heels I don't need an uneven paving stone to be likely to fall over :))


Just found that post really really odd!

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
