Frankito, fair enough and I guess the forum has become the place for people to vent their frustrations when things wind them up.

I'm also guessing that it'd be good old Admin who takes the flack from angry local businesses about any misrepresentation on here tho.


I don't think that everyone realises that some posts are from bots either judging from the way they respond to them, here is a case in point.


Now is it too late to second dearest Meds' nomination? He's probably got a rule book about that somewhere too!

Netts already seconded the vote. Evil.


Not sure how moaning about a bit of late night noise can be construed as misinterpretation... Now if I had been saying the place is crap or they rip me off then yes, I would expect to be challenged and pulled into line. But I haven't said that nor have I implied it. It's a decent local for all it gets noisy.. ... ..... :)


I have heard much worse on here although not from you.

katie, you noticed! (extracts earplugs and weeps with gratitude)


no more from me now as a. thou shall not hijack thread and b. thou shall not suffer it to undergo dread fate of wtf Actress threads


richbach may be bot, but he speak sooth

Thirded then please.


Nope, I didn't say you misrepresented them either. I'm sure you've probably noticed that the way things go on here sometimes a bit of light-hearted moaning and a negative thread title sometimes attracts unwarranted comments against local businesses too, that's all.


Edited - reply to Frank.

Frankie, in all semi-seriousness, you hardly said anything. You could have been complaining about seagulls or people talking on the street. It was just a comment. It happened to be the pub noise. I don't see it as an attempt to put Pete out of business. Regarding the 'wtf' bit, frankly in this age of textspeak we add things to comments because of it. It could have been 'be janey' if there was textspeak for it. I have to admit that some textspeak I have to look up as I don't know what it means.


I'd be more pee'd off with Pete if I was going to his pub last week-end to watch the footie and thought I could see all of the two games he advertised as on. The kick off times wouldn't have allowed this but on his thread they would have. Being the polite citizen I am I did post to let him know.

Katie, I tend to exaggerate. It's a 'problem' I have. I'm dealing with it.

No need for facetious remarks, Frankito.


I just happened to read this thread yesterday and unfortunately got caught up in responding to (in my opinion, unkind) remarks made by granadaland/Matt after the FHT posted on here. I know that far worse comments about local businesses have been made on here. I think I already said, oooh way back on page 1, that this one didn't seem to be intended to be deliberately malicious in any way and that the FHt likely didn't have knowledge of your usually good humoured posts.

There was no interest, believe me, until people started being unnecessarily rude to the response from what is, after all, a local business and someone's livelihood.


If I did work there, you'd hate it even more - I think Rolf Harris is great for karaoke :)

    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others. 
    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky. 
    • Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks. 
    • Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
