Hi. Not Ideal. Is anyone else fed up of the shouty scaffolders working at Goose Green primary school? I live at least 15 gardens away from them, but all day Friday and now again this morning there's this sergeant major type barking orders at his men.


I know they're just doing their work, but it surely isn't necessary for him to shout so loudly that I can hear it as clear as a bell quite far away. If he shouted at half the decibels his men would still hear him loud and clear.


I rang Ideal, the firm they work for, this morning and a very nice woman answered. She said she'd give them a ring, but it's no better.


If anyone is affected by it (maybe I'm just being over-sensitive, but I'm already getting a headache from it again on what is a very rare lovely summer's day) perhaps you'd like to ring the office too.


It's 0208 293 0456

Ahhh. He's turned down the volume a bit. I can still hear him, but it's no longer like a foghorn!


My second phone call obviously worked. Woman couldn't have been nicer. When I said he obviously likes the sound of his own voice, she said: 'That's men for you!'. Ha ha! (sorry chaps...)

    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead 
    • Tried months ago, to get folk together to do something, to say thank you. Been a member of the forum for years and if you had not stepped up, would not be an active  forum. Well administered as well. So from me to you, thanks for keeping it going..  Happy Christmas and blessings and good fortune in 2026 which I am told is The Year of The Horse….
