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.

    • At last a decision…. Hope it lives up to your expectations. Good post though as new eateries appeared which no doubt others like myself will try out. Has changed hands last year but sure that will not bother you…personally always abit concerned if not many eating over lunchtime but  that is just me. Do let us know how food was after all of you have  indulged…was great when it was a cafe and personally hope it is good as I like Turkish food.    
    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
