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.

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • 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.
