Since most of the allegations made are first hand, they are not hearsay. It's not a kangaroo court either, because no one is suggesting any sanctions.


And if the allegations are true, they are not defamatory.


If they're untrue, she has an open and shut legal case - particularly serious because her professional competence has been criticised, potentially affecting her livelihood - which she should be able to bring on a no win no fee basis.


The fact that she has not been named, and her critics do not give their full names, is no bar to a case because she is identifiable to some people. And clearly she will easily be able to identify her accuser/s.


Given that she can straightforwardly access legal redress, and that the forum welcomes praise for good traders, it seems only fair that justified criticism should be welcomed too.


Prolific poster DJKillaQueen could always make a post in response of course that makes her perspective clear.

Nicholas, my point wasn't about whether any of the allegations made are true or untrue. And of course, prolific posters, you'd expect to be on here defending or denying their case.


But it seems to me that this thread was started, not in the Lounge, as a well-meaning attempt to establish contact with a missing contractor by a client. It seems to me that its looking unlikely that the contractor is going to respond (of course, I could be wrong) and it now appears that the thread has taken a different turn entirely which I don't think is helping achieve the initial intention.


It somehow seems wrong to continue discussing someone so personally in this manner in the Lounge (to me anyway).

If a tradesperson has done a bad job, then I don't see the problem with posting about the experience on here. Even if the tradesperson in question is a known forum member... it makes it all rather uncomfortable, but no less "wrong" than - for instance - the saga with the cat-flap guy.


In fact I don't think anybody has even mentioned her real name (or company/trading name), so I really don't see why some of you seem so concerned.

    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
