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.

    • So Southwark in No Overall Control? Green / LD coalition?
    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
    • That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?
    • Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
