And surprise surprise the post has now been deleted.


But hey, you can still read it above, in case you would like to work for free to help someone else make a profit.


There was such goodwill from posters up to then, too.


ETA: Not inclined to be a customer now. Sorry. Several similar sweet shops in town who hopefully pay the people working for them.

What is wrong with this forum? It never takes long for the tone to change and for people to get the knives out.


It's a sweet shop - something which doesn't currently exist on the lane. I hope it does really well (and suspect it will).

Sorry to be a pedant... but wine gums are not wine flavoured. They're fruit flavoured... they just happen to have names of wines on the sweets.

There was a lot of goodwill initially, as you can see from the thread.


The tone changed because of a number of posts by the prospective owner of the sweet shop which she has now deleted.


She wanted (and possibly still does) people to "volunteer" aka work for her for free whilst she was getting her business set up (a business in which she is presumably hoping to make a profit).


I don't think objecting to that can be described as "getting the knives out".

So your post on here asking for volunteers ("I'm on the lookout for local volunteers (initially).. who would be willing to give up some spare time during the week"), and your first PM to me, were giving inaccurate information which you are now correcting?


Or did you change your requirements when you realised from the content and tone of the comments on here that asking people to work for your business for free wasn't going down too well with prospective customers?

I'd be more inclined to be positive and supportive if you had kept on view all the posts which you have now deleted, but admitted that you had made an error of judgement which you were sorry for (assuming that that's true).

      Vet recommendation

      By tiddles · Posted

      Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
