Andy, seems from Pickle's posting that your recommendations are still there. Admin did comment recently to another trader that he can't afford to keep very old posts as they take up a lot of server space, so he might have taken old ones away.


As a moderator I can say that we do remove bumped posts but we do rely on their being reported to us, so thank you for so often reporting other traders who have bumped their threads, we do take them down.


If you've been using the forum for 3 years for advertising, hopefully yu've had good business from it. Seems a shame to have a go at admin in exchange for all the work that his free forum has generated. You may not be aware, but if you'd like to you can donate towards the costs of running the forum.

Pickle The link you posted just brings up present page & Moos doesnt matter how much work I have had from the Forum or not my point is that Certain other Tradesmen seem to be able to Bump there posts up without them being deleted my point is that there cant be a rule for one and another for others I posted to Administrator for Administrator to openly replie why They did remove my post and not Tradesman just below this ad who as far as I am concerned has done exactly the same as myself.I would appreciate if Pickle and Moos refrain from posting to this ad as this will only Bump Post back up ,if you wish please send private message all the best Andy Aka Spoiltdog/Andyman many thanks

For someone who has benefitted so much from the forum over the years, it seems to be both unwise and unreasonable to accuse Admin of favouritism and be 'ordering' them to reinstate posts.


A friendlier tone may be more productive?


As you know, bumping is not tolerated because it creates non-productive clutter, and older posts are removed because both the technology demands and the cost are prohibitive. If either of these were allowed the forum would be such a mess it wouldn't work for you at all.


You also know that the forum doesn't have any full time staff and the Admins can only moderate the stuff they see, or the stuff that's reported.


If this forum and the moderation policies didn't exist you would be much worse off.

Hi Spoilt, I have not removed your recommendations, I removed your advert stating that you are taking bookings in the new year, there's a difference. Some other companies have simple said "Merry Christmas to my customers" which is nice and not too many of them so that was allowed, you said "Merry Christmas, I'm taking bookings ... call me... " which is an advert, not a recommendation.


I've also removed the advert within your original post at the top of this page, that's starting to take the Mickey.


You are coming across as a exceptionally ungrateful Spoiltdog, please remember that I make up the rules, if I want to introduce a "remove all recommendations for a business that gets lots of free work from the forum yet complains when their free advert (which breaks an established rule) is removed" rule then I may.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

YES WE ALL HOPE TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS ESPECIALLY THE ONES DON'T HACK THEIR FRIENDS

COMPUTERS AND PHONE LINES.

I REALLY HOPE A PEACEFULL YEAR AND LESS STRESSFUL 2012 IF I FIND OUT

ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME THIS YEAR IN THIS FORUM THEN THINGS WILL GET VERY SERIOUS

I AM AFRAID. HA,HA,HA SOMEBODY WILL HAVE TO DEAL NEXT TIME.


THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN RESPECTING MY PRIVACY FOR 2012 WAS GIVING THE LAST CHANCE

FOR THIS THINGS TO BE FOUND OUT BUT MR IAIN MACKENZIE NEVER TURN UP TO FACE OUT HIS REASONS.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
