as I've made clear above, I was joking


were you joking about blanket leafleting and the distribution of unwanted paper? imagine the cost to the environment of loads of people receiving loads of leaflets about things that they have no interest in

but you did suggest leafleting a mile's diameter too

I heard the fireworks on Saturday night, and from what I could see of them from an upstairs window, they were lovely. I can't understand why anyone would think that a ten minute firework display at 10.30 p.m. is unreasonable? It's not exactly late, and if anyone's children are woken up for ten minutes, they don't have to get up for school the next morning. Like many people, I've got animals, but because I choose to keep pets, I really don't expect that to stop other people from enjoying a very short firework display. The world's gone mad!

It really shouldn't need to be said, but people need to be respectful and tolerant in a community.


If you personally do not understand another person's issues, you do not have the right to rubbish it and try and show them in a bad light.


People are just asking for a bit of thought and respect in regard to actions that negatively impact them. It's completely reasonable to do so.

Jules-and-Boo and first mate are correct. By the way a neighbour of mine wrote to the golf club and she said she had quite an apologetic reply. It means they will maybe advertise their next fireworks party, which is all that is needed.

Hope they do advertise their next fireworks party as it must have been very loud for them and on the step neighbours!


We heard it very loudly and like a thunder bolt for 10 minutes in the Red Post Hill area and I tried to work out where it was coming from as it had a big impact on my animals and the local wildlife in the area for the next few days/weeks.

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
