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

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • 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
