Recommended Posts

The "Wanted, Offers & Recommendation section" seems to be a victim of its own success. If you make a posting of say something for sale, then it only stays on the first page for about a day or so because of the volume. Maybe everyone else is more diligent than me but I don't often stray past page 1 of any of the sections - mainly because I assume that the subsequent pages will contain posts I have already seen. Two proposals: one reorganise Wanted, Offers and Recommendation into three separate sections - at least split off recommendations as these are less transient; two, have subsections within the WO&R (if subsections are possible) with a "Week Commencing.." title.

Anyone else feel strongly about WO&R ?

Hi, we are thinking of splitting it into two "Wanted & offered" and "local recommendations" and now we're thinking of doing in even more so as you've said this. We may also expand the number of listing on a page so that the first page lists 30 titles, or if it's feasible, even give people the option of choosing how many they see. These changes will take place after the birthday party when hopefully we'll get some more feedback to think about and perhaps action


Thanks for your comments ed_pete, as always we don't know what people think unless they tell us so it's appreciated

Can anyone recommend a reliable washing machine repairer? I have just moved into a flat with a machine that seems to boil my clothes for 1.5 hours even on the lowest available temp setting (40 degrees), and of course the manufacturer can't help... I'm over Nunhead direction.


As a bonus query I'm keen to get a ticket to Manu Chao on 4 or 5th October (playing at Brixton), but not at hectically ramped up prices I'm afraid - just in case the spirit of Manu Chao lives on with someone unable to use their ticket!

Part of the problem is that threads are ordered according to the most recent response, rather than the date when the offer/request etc was first posted. A post saying that somebody wants a fridge might be first on the list, yet it turns out that the ad was put up weeks ago, but Joe Bloggs has just posted to ask if the fridge is still needed (which invariably it isn't). Wouldn't it make sense for this section to be listed in order of how recently the thread was started? Same applies to the property page, where what is of interest is that a flat is just on the market, not the fact that Joe Bloggs has said he is interested in more info.

Mark - I've posted a recommendation about a plumber whom I found through searching on here. I was a bit confused about where to put it coz there are so many plumbing threads and I couldn't remember where I'd found it. Plumped for one anyway but I hope I haven't confused issue by opening old thread. Feel free to move it if appropriate.


thanks

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • 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".
