The EDF has the same rule but it's specific to businesses with a trading address in the SE22 postcode, will you be just as specific? ''Surrounding area'' sounds a bit vague and open to interpretation.

One loophole I've noticed on the EDF recently is that if a business uses it's business name as it's forum's user name, it doesn't get banned, thus every time it posts on any thread it's getting another advert for it's business...stealth advertising if you like. I know I'd personally stop this from happening if I ran a forum as it gives an unfair advantage to that business...

I've used Hayes Carpets a number of times. The first one was when the staff in LL Carpets snubbed me (this is a true story). I would have used them again recently but they didn't stock the stair carpet (stripy by coincidence) so we went to EJ carpets in Forest Hill.


But this is starting to sound like a where to buy, or not as the case may be, carpets thread (parcularly where the old ones are thread bare) rather than some pointless twaddle.

    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead
