Hi,


Just wondered what local publications (for families) you all find most useful / informative / generally a good read


Families South East Magazine, SE22 Micro Magazine, Living South, Newsletters


What attracts you to the mags you do read and why ? Do you think the local publications

we curently have are sufficient enough or they are lacking something ?


All thoughts and opinions welcome ;-)

Yes, I would go for Families too. What about the little SE22 mags does anyone get these through the door ? Do you read them or toss them in a corner ? And what do you do generally when things are dropped through your door scrunch it up for the recycle or have a glance to see whats on offer ?

Se22 mags don't come through my door. I don't bother reading them any more as the articles irritate me beyond belief.. all smug cookery etc. They don't have particularly complete listings.


I only pick up stuff to see what's on, really and the EDF is a better source for that than any mag, TBH

Yes, sorry I didn't mention it is a little market research.


It's so hard I have some fantastic products I would like folks to see (aside my cakes) and the glossy mags want hundreds for

a few lines of text and some pics, however I could be swayed towards a half decent mag that local families are genuinely

interested in - therefore hopefully taking notice of any ads ?


As I mentioned in another thread 'the problems of a small, independent trader'. Leaflet drops are no use either. Just getting

my thinking cap on. My business is less than a year old so its all relatively new to me and although the response has been

great so far it is still daunting and can get very quiet at times. :'(


Several folks have suggested the SE22 mag but most I know don't read it so I thought I would seek a little opinion here.

And if I am ultra honest I don't care much for leaflets shoved through our letterbox - in fact I always smile when I see big bold signs with NO JUNK MAIL amongst local residents.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
