Recommended Posts

I noticed a slight variant last week: two posters each starting with an initial innoccuous and symathetic follow-up post -- "Oh, I sympathise, the same thing happened to me once" kind of thing" -- which might go to establish them as good guys and belongers, followed a few days later by a more self-serving OP in their own thread. One now seems to have been disappeared. The other's involved in a more ambiguous scheme, but there's enough information about for buyers to beware.

I tend to cross reference a person who makes an interesting recommendation. But a lot of people do sign up to give a recommendation after lurking around for a recommendation themselves as they may want to chip in with a good word about some work done by a tradesman.


My first two posts were recommendations actually, one of which was for the Vale. So each has to be judged on it's merits.

Well I first started using this forum purely to get some recommendations on electricians, roofers - before I fully graduated to Football Focus :) They'd always ask how I got their contact details. Some of those I used would ask me to put a recommendation on the EDF.


So using myself as an example that is why I think others have perhaps followed that same pattern. But I do agree that as the EDF becomes more widespread there will be more dubious recommendations dreamed up by local barrow boys turned incompetent electricians and whatnot.

Matthew, there's a world of difference in style between your first two posts and the ones that look more like bad 'advertising features' of the sort that used to (? still do) appear in papers. If yours weren't genuine, you have skills that would be of value to a conman or MI5 operative.

Clearly a fake first-time recommendation. Tsk. Tsk.

Hahaha are you lacking commonsense these days now too?

If you were a lurker (yes I know it's hard to imagine) and you just happened to see a thread completeley slating a company you thought was actually ok might you not be tempting to cross over in assigning yourself a name and join in the posting on here?

And, of course there's the lurker who may have used someone who was recommend on here and wishes to give their feed back blah blah blah blah blah.


Not everyone (now this surely is REALLY hard to believe) are trolls :)


Karter - are those voices bothering you again? oh dear!

KK, I think Narnia's talking about people starting a thread to recommend a business as their first post.


It's such a difficult area, because it does look suspicious and often turns out to be bogus, but I hate the idea of putting off a genuine poster who's just testing out using the forum for the first time.


I think my first post was defending some of the chain businesses in East Dulwich in the middle of a slightly heated debate, and I was terrified I was about to be steamrollered by a regular poster.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
