This forum is all well and good (actually I think it's very good) but seems to be becoming quite a networking site (i.e. members using threads to chat about random stuff). It could do with building in networking features.


As an example I knocked up a quick one on "ning" which can be seen here. Not suggesting we use this but what does everyone think of the general idea?

apart from "- blogs - online chat" of which there is a plethora of stuff out there, I think this forum pretty much fulfils the rest doesn't it? Particularly for the last, where it's a bit more like meeting nice people down the local, than networky things like MySpace (yeech), in fact I've noticed a myspacey invasion of flickr (my other addiction) recently.

Yes, the egomaniacal group award things are pretty ugly and annoying, the barney rubble pez group is at once a pastiche of these and ridiculously annoying. I was more referring to young'uns getting on flickr and randomly adding hundreds of people as contacts in some sort of bid to get as many friends as possible, and invading discussion groups with things like "can you all look at my photos and affirm me and love me?" or "Who hear loves the Kaiser Chiefs?".

grrrrr

As it goes I believe flickr's terms of use actually preclude anyone under the age of 16 (could even be 18).

Does the forum have any limitations? Doesn't seem to be anything specific on the TOU, but never spotted anyone on here who smacks of being a young'un (unless they're an eloquent young'un).

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
