But surely you would know as the person would let you know where they were based?

But you must have wanted the item to collect? And it's not a million miles away!

Dont understand The fuss

I once had to go to Catford to collect an item.

I was a bit irked but it was something I want and I negotiated a kower Price due to The Travel

However, if The truth be know I would have paid even morze tran The asking Price,

Wiat iż The arena anyway? What is The exact boundary of East Dulwich ?

Arę residents of Dulwich village not allowed to post here ?

It's not about whether they are allowed to post on here.


It's about being upfront about where the seller is based.

Really don't understand what all the fuss about. Far too many moaning Minnies on here!

I'd be far more annoyed with vague or non existent descriptions, shops selling or using this forum as a marketplace or people selling items at ridiculous prices or mark-ups.

If you're buying any item you should ask where the seller is based as you'll have to pick it up. If it's more than walking distance you might have to get a bus, drive or heaven forbid hire a van.

I've sold to people in Brighton through this forum and now live in Elephant. If there's something I want I will travel and still find this forum very handy for local information and occasionally buying or selling goods.

Its not being fussy, its the rules. Why call it ED forum if you have to collect from Tooting. I don't think it should be a problem for the surrounding areas ie Herne Hill, but if we are stretching further afield, the seller should delivery or meet half way. If you don't have boundaries, this will end up like a ebay website. I don't live locally, but my connection is ED area is work, so my collection from me would be work. I have cheated a bit, and offered large items to people who are under the wanted section, but that is a 121 conversation.


Mik322- nothing wrong with some travelling from Brighton to collect from the ED areas, but travelling to Brighton to collect...that's need the gumtree link..lool

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
