Look I'm sorry everyone for starting yet another thread about Foxtons but I've seen red. I'm usually a calm and serene sort of person and this is a very trivial thing to get mad about but this is too much! This morning I received yet another letter from stupid Foxtons saying that they're looking for properties in the area blah, blah, blah. I wouldn't mind so much but this is about the 5th letter I've received from them. Each time I've asked sent the letter back and asked them to remove my address from the mailing list but to no avail. Why do they keep sending me these stupid letters when I so patently asked them not to send me them??? I think this just encapsulates their whole laisez faire attitude and utter disregard for local feeling. I fucking hate Foxtons with their stupid bloody cars and their ridiculous power sapping hideous office populated by stupid people. Why do they need to keep their lights on all night? They wouldn't be as objectionable if they made some sort of concession to the views of local people (without meaning to sound too League of Gentlemen). Help - I'm getting excessively worked up about an estate agent!!!

It's amazing.. just as the last Foxtons-slagfest thread dips out of view, along comes another first time poster to start another one off. Right on time, wheeling out all the same old stuff from the previous threads.


Thanks for that, Waste Warrior. Now that you're off the mark, I look forward to reading the numerous contributions to non-Foxtons threads you will surely be making in the months and years to come.

Have mercy *Bob*. This is my first ever posting and I did apologise in the first sentence.


By the by, this is a public forum isn't it and the users can decide what they want to discuss? If you know the thread is going to annoy you then don't read it! No-one's forcing you to!

Dear Waste Warrior. I for one enjoy the continually repetitive Foxotn?s threads if only for the entertainment value in the exasperated reactions from everyone else.


Anyway welcome to the forum. Careful though, it is very addictive and soon you may get so engrossed that you?re too busy thinking up limericks and top ten lists to even care about Foxton?s.

Over the last year, Disgusted Of East Dulwich has complained about all sorts of newcomers - White Stuff, Caffe Nero, Jojo Maman Bebe, Mrs Robinson, the list goes on. By and large, those threads have died down as most people begin to accept that there's a place in SE22 for these new shops. But anti-Foxton feeling is on a different scale, mainly because as a business they are on a different scale too (just like a cuckoo in a robin's nest, an analogy I have used before). If anti-Foxton threads disappear, it will be a sign that they and their out-sized, over-illuminated, excessively-vehicled office has been accepted in the area. So I hope threads like this one run and run and run, however repetitive they become. By the way, did I mention that I can't stand Foxtons?
It's called C-A-P-I-T-A-L-I-S-M folks ... By making ED into a desirable and cool area, residents and retailers (unwittingly, for sure) attract the big boys, whether you like it or not. It is the logical consequence of living in an advanced capitalist consumer society.

Doesn't mean I have to like it. :'(

Wouldn't it just be easier to just torch the place? Everyone hates it and their bloody cars, everyone hates topics about the place clogging the forum up, so get the pitchforks and petrol bombs out and burn it with fire!


Alternatively the East Dulwich Bag design could have a line saying "Against bloody estate agent cars and ponces in cheap suits and bad haircuts" on it?

Well, isn't there room for the ED resident who doesn't mind the rising prosperity of the area bringing new shops (oh shucks, surely not another ancient chippy / betting shops closed down) but does object to an estate agent the size of a supermarket whose frontage dominates and crushes the look of LL, and which is notorious for its overpricing and bad mannered employees? There's chains and then there's Foxtons. And I will never, never, never, never give them a penny of my money, nor buy anything from them. If other people don't feel the same way, I guess they will vote with their feet.
i have been wondering whether it would not be fun to organise a mass turn up at foxtons and get a free coffee one weekend. try and coordinate it so every hour another 20 people turn up as prospective buyers and ask for drinks whilst browsing. start using it as a free cafe maybe ....

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
