OP - let me spell out for you what the other posters are hinting at. You registered on the forum TODAY and you start a post with 7 paragraphs praising a local hairdresser.


You can call us a bunch of cynics if you like but on the forum there is a history of people registering for the sole purpose of bigging up their own business/service/shop and we don't really like that.


You may be a great new forumite - in which case - very sorry, welcome to the forum, nice to meet you. But sorry hon, starting off eyebrows just get raised when people register and then immediately start threads about how good such and such a business is. Have a look at this howler from earlier in the week.

Horizon has deleted his posts now but you get the gist.


I hope you're genuine though and if so welcome to the forum.

No offence BoTB - I'm not accusing you of anything so need to defend yourself. It's just that you seemed confused by the initial response to the thread and I'm just pointing out why. The forum is cynical of new joiners bigging up particular businesses/services. That's all.
Yes I know but the lady did just register today. I saw the way the thread was going and I just wanted to explain why because if someone is genuine and they register and put a recommendation and get strange responses then they're going to be confused and think "why did I bother". I've no reason to believe the lady isn't genuine and I really hope she is but she was getting some odd responses and I just wanted to say WHY. That's all.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
