If the premises were rent-free, guess what I bet sweet prices would be cheaper !

Bought some confection today, standard stuff, hard to get wrong.

If you can get sweets 49p cheaper (or whatever) got to the other place instead if you prefer.

Great shop for LL IMO.

The shoppe frontte is terriblye naffe, however as mentioned above it's a franchise so that's what it has to be.


Behind the signage is someone who's put in a load of work and wants to make a success of it - which is more important. Anyway there's no shortage of other proper eyesores in the area so not really worth getting in too much of a lather about this.


As long as they have my personal sugar tipple I will be in for that. And if they don't.. I'm gonna go nuclear.

Good luck to anyone starting a new business in a challenging climate. Regardless of my thoughts on the shop, I commend anyone taking a risk and wish them well. I?d rather have any well put together shop than an empty one. Also, the shop owner has shown keenness and smarts attempting to communicate with his new community, not everyone does that. I say welcome, good luck and fingers crossed for you.

It's funny that Sue's comment before was called trolling as I read her comment as such myself. VelvetBlueberry explained that she was not connected to the store, so your question was either an unnescessary (poor) joke, or it was a troll remark...


Does anyone have evidence linking VelvetBlueberry to the shop...?


It's like some people won't accept differing opinions. Surely they are old enough.


I look forward to visiting the shop myself. I am not much of a sweet eater, however, it might be nice to treat myself...

The previous thread was deleted and as I recall, she was asked what her connection to the shop was...


If your question was a joke Sue then I just thought it was silly given the thread history, however, if serious then I had to wonder if you were trying to derail this thread. You did write previously that you weren't going to give the shop your custom...


Trolling can vary in severity, and I thought yours was tame, however, VelvetBlueberry expressed that she disliked the previous accusation, so why try to wind her up? That's what I wondered.

I did not see all the previous thread before it was deleted.


My reasons on the other thread for not giving the shop my custom, if I said that which I can't remember, were because of posts by the owner early in the thread, which he subsequently deleted and which I have no intention of repeating here.


I am not a troll and was not trying to wind anybody up.


ETA: I have said above why I asked the question. It is one thing to effusively praise a new shop. It is another thing to write derogative comments about a shop next door to it selling similar products.

So you're allowed to call this new sweet shop a "hideous eyesore" but I'm not allowed to share my opinion on M&S'

hideously inedible spray-painted chocolate? Lol... Okay.


I don't know why you're so incapable of putting two & two together & realising I was making a personal preference as to where I'd want to go for an "overpriced" edible gift. Don't worry, M&S isn't going out of business. They recieve my custom every day & despite my oh so terrible opinion on their chocolate gifts, they do have nice cheap chocolates in there too.


Phew! At least someone here has some common sense... Thank you, Maybaby.


Apparently enthusiasm is a crime these days.

Eh?


Where have I called this shop a "hideous eyesore"?


ETA: oh yes, I did. I used the words "hideous" and "eyesore," In separate sentences in a totally unrelated thread in the lounge. But not as you have quoted me.


ETA: And I specifically said that I was saying it on that thread where hardly anybody would be likely to see it. But hey ho. I stand by my view. I just didn't want it made so public as you have just done, for obvious reasons. Thanks for that.


ETA: Let's just stop this now. I shall be more careful in future about posting my opinions on a local forum I've been using for nearly thirteen years.

Well well. The fragrant Blah Blah returns, right on cue :))


Funnily enough I was just thinking about you this morning :))


You really can't resist giving yourself away, can you? I'm collecting screenshots :)) :)) :))


ETA: If anybody new to the forum doesn't realise, you can click on people's name and see their past posts (at least, back to when the forum was reorganised by admin a while ago).


So you can click on my name and see how much sanctimonious crap I've posted.


Depending on your definitions of sanctimonious and crap, of course.


I'd reckon probably about 0.001% :))

The moderation of these forums is very sketchy. It's almost as if they favour this provocative behaviour (& I don't mean the type that has people so politically correct they can't handle an opinion that clashes with their own).



ANYHOO. Feel free to discontinue reading from this point if you're likely to get your knickers in a twist over a positive/enthusiastic comment :)



- I had my eye on the strawberries & cream gourmet popcorn, closest & most visible from the window, days before the shops official opening - it was totally worth the wait!


I'm also obsessed with violet anything so I was happy to see they had dark chocolate French Violet creams along with other flavours like English Rose (which I also love), lemon (tempted to get for my mum), mint (also tempting) & others that I can't remember off the top of my head.


...& Kola Kubes! They really take me back to my 90s childhood.

    • 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".
