Yeah i guess so, but in some way i think he made the right decision at the right time which paid off for his hard work over the years; but in another way maybe he had other reasons for wanting out. Either way he has become very wealthy and has made it for himself which you have to give him credit for.

To be honest i would not be at all surprised if he does bail out foxtons with a rescue bid because he has become so wealthy and as far as we know he isnt doing much else busiesswise so besides walking the dog and reading the paper in his mansion he has nothing else to do. But good on him for selling in the 1st place; he is switched on.

As much as I have my own personal issues with Foxtons, I think everyone deserves to earn a living and tarnishing these people with one big brush is a little over dramatic in my opinion. I Give benefit of the doubt to everyone, I would not wish for Foxtons to go under and have people made unemployed, I think that is a very negative opinion to hold.

Nevertheless, the 'in ya face' sales drive that F enforces is enough. I personally have not had the displeasure of F but many people I know have. If you take a closer look at their strategy: To force prices up has a negative impact as now many can not afford these high prices and thus prices fall. This is negative and therefore if they did not exist then they would not contribute to this negative market force. ED does not need them and I hope they sink..... that is positive.

Any company that promotes a profit over integrity ethos serves no good to society. Likewise individuals who buy into that kind of ethos (often so gleefully) are exposing an antisocial personality flaw and are of no good to any of us. Throw them all into the North sea is what I say.


Why society and the law tolerate businesses where it is ?ok? or even expected to be dishonest I have no idea.

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      By beansprout · Posted

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
