I think the problem is the prissy smugness on display on some of these posts. Gives the impression of cloying inward looking nimbyism. Yes people should care about their environment - but without morphing into hyacinth bucket

I think he means bi-houmous - part tzatziki part taramasalata

They're not that good, hence silly over-sized and deliberately badly parked advan. To make matters worse, Papa John's junk mail going on about their Californian tomatoes.


I mean, What a great sales idea. "These tomatoes see, they're from the other side of the world and they will taste better than your shitty British tomatoes, especially after we've smothered them in salt and such." Papa John can go and bake his bits in his oven.


And 'Papa John' is too young for that name, see Col. Sanders.

I had no idea where their tomatoes come from (or really care) but I do love their pizzas. They are very tasty (come to think of it, their tomato sauce is good!) a bargain too - as the advert (much discussed on here) makes clear. I'm getting hungry again just thinking about the subject. I shall order one this evening.
Yes - the pesky trailer has been removed but the 3 bikes are still there and are now joined by a car which is parked there most evenings. This is going to cause damage to the paving stones - no other shops have this cumbersome traffic outside - how are they getting away with this? So annoying...

I think they are motor bikes. And I think if you read it carefully the poster is referring to the CAR Parked on the Paving stones. Paving Stones are pretty expensive and it is you and I who will be picking up the tab to replace them.

I wonder if Papa Johns has planning permission for Delivery?

The chances are tha I probably pay far more than you, but who knows (I don't know what, if anything, you pay)?

What I do know is that my share of a broken paving slab (assuming one does even break) would be de minimis and is therefore an utterly trivial matter. On that note - I'm getting back to my work. I shall leave you to worry about the great Papa John's paving/planning crisis...

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
