I have a slight persona on the EDF which has toned down over time..


I'm more polemic, contrary, 'right wing', non-consensual and proleetrian than I am in real life...but keep it stum


Facebook I am pretty much who I am but steer clear of contraversy - ie politics/drug references etc for all sorts of reasons including family (including my own kids not that far away)


Twiiters - just tweeting would be shame enough. Hate the place and tweets etc. Yet to read any tweet that has mede me think, laugh or think wow what a cool person/tweet etc etc. Really is the worse of social networking imo. Sorry SJ!

I think who I am on here is a small part of who I am in real life. Most people are multi-faceted, so one forum is unlikely to reflect all their nuances. The EDF is good for community stuff, but less useful for intelligent debate on controversial subjects because of the trolls and aggressive posters.


I hold it down on here, because I'm a bore when I get on one about politics and can't be arsed with the arguments. Twitter is my release in that regard and sometimes Facebook.

I like facebook for sharing pics of my kids with family and friends who live far away. I do use it quite a lot, but refuse to get involved in any of the stupid apps.


I've never bothered with Twitter, although it's great that it gives the likes of Joey Barton unlimited rope with which to hang himself.

Lol, yes Facebook is good for keeping up to date with my family and old friends who are spread around the globe, but I block all the stupid apps and my privacy settings are pretty high.


Twitter is my access to news, politics and law.


EDF is my access to community and gives me an insight into the minutia of middle-class angst!



Edited to say, I personally preferred the EDF a couple of years ago, before it got swamped by twee, middle class posters who seem to be obsessed with dog crap, dogs, scary looking people and other garbage that has turned me off from reading it very much.



As I recall it was a bunch of (in your eyes) twee middle class posters complaining about dogs that got you started posting on here in the first place?


then v now - it's uncanny!


If the forum is worse now, it isnt't because of tweeness or people of any class - it'll be because ... well that'll start another debate so I'll save it.

Gosh, how lovely, it has it all. A polite Huguenot, people trying to stay on topic, alan dale removing all his posts, Ted Max being witty AND a lounging!!

And all those lovely lost posters, the place just isn't the same without Sean McGabhann, keef and snorky is it.

*wipes tear of joy

I remember being at one of the "old" drinks, having a really good chat with someone before they asked who I was on the forum. When I explained, their smile kind of faded and their face soured. The conversation died and they made their excuses and left.....


I think that says it all.

The burning question re on-line personas (and not the "I remember when it was all fields around here" outlook of certain senior members) is why SO many have changed theirs over the years.


Is it boredom with a hastily chosen persona? A game (arising out of more boredom) where you have to guess who so-and-so is now? A rebirth after a banning? The desire to disassociate oneself with previouly held views? Multiple personalities?


I ask because the new personas of those who have changed are (it would seem) quickly and easily recognised/known by their contemporaries; indeed at the forum drinks I went to a year or so ago, among the things pointed out to me was "That's so-and-so, he used to be whtshisname, and that's thingy who used to go by the name of thingamajig" and so on.


I ask merely for information. And because it's Friday. And I'm really borrrrrrred.

    • 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". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
