No... It was a first time post.. Fact

It was calamatous event... Fact

It generated discussion... Fact

And you had not replied... Fact


and I did previously just point out parking situation... Fact


Fox.

One of the reasons I hardly ever come on the EDF any more is because of the nit-picking, petty-minded posters who hijack so many ordinary people's threads.


You should be ashamed of yourselves for the insensitive, bullying, anally retentive comments that you seem to trot out on such a regular basis, especially in response to first-time or irregular posters.


tom_tom, you have my sympathies and take no notice of the arseholes on here who obviously have nothing more important in their lives than finding ways to be condescending about the minor mistakes, infractions and activities of other people.

I have sympathy for anyone (including tom_tom) who has had their car damaged like this


And I have sympathy for Lady D's argument about people nit picking


On the other hand we have tom_tom admitting " didnt know the rules off parking, didnt bother to check as i was in a rush" which I think warrants some criticism. If you haven't got the time to check parking restrictions, who is to say the person who did your car in wasn't genuinely remorseful but was also in a rush?


Fair play, called at possibly short notice to an unfamiliar branch, hop in the car and (undoubtedly safely within speed limit) arrive at new bank. But you would check with the locals when you got in there if it would be ok for the day wouldn't you?

Stratfer jack, the difference is if A ticket lands on my doorstep in a week I will pay and admit that i was wrong. Where as whoever has done the damage has driven off. Leaving me to sort it out.


Thanks to lady deliah and everyone else who have shown some normality and understanding. Jacob, e-dealer and jeremy

Strafer, does the issue of parking restrictions have any bearing at all on the damage to tom_tom's car?


And if you think it does, in what way?


I think it has sod all to do with his problem and you all used his post as an excuse to tut, bully and wag fingers which, in my opinion, is a very unattractive trait in any adult, friend or foe.



Edited to add: 'you all' refers to the arseholes mentioned in my initial post (before I get lynched!).

"Stratfer jack, the difference is if A ticket lands on my doorstep in a week I will pay and admit that i was wrong. Where as whoever has done the damage has driven off. Leaving me to sort it out."


I understand, I get it. But to play devils advocate here... It's clear you were in a hurry to get to an unfamiliar job. Out of curiosity, when you were rushing to that new branch, if you had brushed against another empty car parked somewhere in Forest Hill say, would you have had time to stop and provide details yourself?

Without a shadow of a doubt. Its a bit different to say to your boss you were in a a car accident then i was looking at a sign. Driving off was unfare and ive been in a situation where a car has driven off from a serious crash we were in his fault so i know how angering it is. if i was ever to cause an accident i would own up, wouldnt u ?

The two issues are completely unconnected, so why bring it up?


If you want to start a thread on people who breach parking restrictions, then do so.


This was about some normal person, new to the EDF having had his car ploughed into by a hit and run driver, requesting assistance.


If it was a regular poster (one of you), then I'm sure the outpouring of sympathy would have been vomit inducing.

tom_tom Just so as you know there was a major crash there today, road was closed from Barry road junction up to the docs surgery past cost cutter on Lordship Lane. If your car was hit during the crash I am sure the police will let you know. Apparently there was an air ambulance 2 people died and 2 seriously injured, so they are probably more concerned about that, sorry about your car by the way :( To those going on about parking, totally irrelevant!!!

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
