Hi,


I'm a staff journalist on a national paper.

I'm looking for females who might have a story to tell about a lodger in their home.

Did you rent a room out and fall in love with your lodger?

Did you have a bad experience with a lodger? Did they leave you in debt or even attack you in some way?


You would need to photographed and identified if you wanted to share your story.

PM me if you would like to chat.


Thanks,

Penny.

I would think you should identify Youself (staff journalist on a national paper)??

before you ask others to divulge sensitive information to you.

Of course I will, should anyone wish to PM me to chat, as I said.

I didn't ask anyone to divulge any sensitive information to me, before I tell them who and what the feature is for, nor would I.


The "photographed and identified" part refers to possibly appearing in the newspaper, further down the line. I'm not asking you to identify yourself to me now.

Thank you for your helpful post and possibly putting off someone who may have a valuable story to share.

Actually...there has been a lot of coverage lately about how people are turning to renting a spare room out in times of financial trouble.

We are a features section simply looking for stories, uplifting or not so, of those who have rented a room out and had some sort of experience through doing so.

Really, what is wrong with you lot?

I have met some truly inspirational people through this forum who have shared stories of joy and also pain with me, that will no doubt have helped someone, somewhere in similar situations and have been very thankful to hear from those forumites.

Why do people have to post negative comments on threads that are of no interest to them? There is plenty of other 'shite' on here for you to fill your empty life with if you need to.

I posted a simple, polite thread asking people to get in touch should they so want to. I won't post on here again for case studies, which is a shame, but I'm tired of the 'thread bashers.' It's so boring.

Anybody who describes women as "females", as you do in your first post, has a problem, imho.


Glad you've met some "truly inspirational" people through this forum who have "shared stories of joy and also pain" with you - care to share also who they were?


And why the jibe about people with an "empty life" posting on here? What is an empty life, exactly??


Why are you looking for people whose lodgers attacked them?! Who has the empty life here?!

Sue, have you even read the OP? Clearly, I gave 'being attacked' as an example. Another boring, irrelevant comment. Why have you even bothered to respond? I don't need an answer to that by the way, just perhaps ask yourself the question and then move on.

Haters, it is tedious isn't it.

I'm considered a troll by the regulars :)


Good luck with your story.

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
