Offer of free garden tidy up for older neighbours or relatives in the area


Gardenman

Recommended Posts

I have made an offer on my gardening tips to help any older neighbours in the area to tidy their gardens for free, but to no avail!! So, either , you?re not reading my gardening tips !!! Or you don?t have any older neighbours!!

The truth is, I am aware of some very overgrown gardens in the area & I love the idea of helping our older residents getting out into their gardens in this sunshine at this time. So I am offering a few hours to each garden you recommend

This will be done in isolation & I?ll get as much done as I can. Can?t take the rubbish away as the dumps are closed.

So, please ask your older neighbours or relatives & let me know.

Thank you in advance

Not a good idea, especially if you have no side access. Your so called elderly person would have to open the door to you and there would be other complications undoubtably.

Stick to the government policy Gardenman! Tend your own garden first...!

Such an abrupt post. No need for it. I?m sure Nigel would only do gardens with side/back access.

Someone posing as a good will gardener, entering elderly and infirm peoples houses is not a good idea. This is not community spirit, it is blatant salesmanship and potentially deadly due to the current social distancing policies. You are deluded if you think otherwise. This is dangerous and irresponsible!

You clearly do not know Nigel, I do, and he is not posing as a salesman. He does a lot for charity.

I suggest you tone down your slandering.

Furthermore back and side access is adhering to social distancing.

Now your reply really has confirmed that you have lost the plot. If you check all my past posts you will see I?m not a business partner to anybody.

Seriously, STOP the slandering.

Nigel is a truely nice person and I don't understand why you've taken such a dislike to him. I am not related to Nigel or a business partner but a very happy customer. He's offering to help the vulnerable in the community by utilising his gardening skills and knowledge. He's also not daft and will be fully aware of the need for social distancing. I'm concerned you'll put people off taking him up on his offer by posting nasty comments
Another client of Nigel, who has done great work for me at reasonable rates. I think it's a good idea that he asks if forumites know anyone who needs help, he's not trying to contact vulnerable people directly, which could be inappropriate. And I'm sure he is well aware of social distancing issues, and would only take on work with side access. A shame to put off people who could benefit from a generous offer...

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
