...Perhaps not, but it should. Heating up the outside rather than putting a coat on is indefensible, whichever way you look at it...


Doesn't our star, the sun, heat up the outside? Can't see what harm a few heaters will do given the power of the sun. That's one way to look at it.

So many establishments heating the outside just to please Smokers.

Whilst inside there is often no heating at all.


A new campaign has been launched to halt the spread of environmentally-damaging patio heaters.


The heaters - an increasingly familiar sight outside pubs and at family barbecues - have become a hate figure for green groups.


They say the heaters, which can cost as little as ?75, only heat the sky and could be responsible for as much as 1m tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.


But in a new survey the Energy Saving Trust (EST) claim the gas and electric powered heaters are growing in popularity and ownership is set to almost double from 1.2 million to 2.3 million.


It is estimated that larger commercial heaters are now in almost 60,000 pubs, 25,000 restaurants and thousands more hotels, clubs, cafes and bars.

Never occurred to me that heaters were so damaging to the environment. Thank God for those giant handbags that are so in vogue these days..I'll use mine at the pub to carry my 13.5 tog duvet.

Why not also complain about barbeques and campfires?


In fact, the amount of heat leaking out of a pub building in winter will utterly dwarf the output of a few patio heaters.

What's wrong with Newcastle Rosie? You are being a bit Northernist there. Have you ever been past Watford?


Love a good heater outside. Makes the outside space in a pub much more useful all year round. Keeps trade regular during the winter months. Especially in these hard economic times when so many pubs are struggling.

I was in Helsinki earlier this year and we went to a nice outdoor bar in a square where the bouncers brought us over massive blankets because it was a bit nippy - we thought it was a really cool idea. I don't really have an opinion on patio heaters but it may be a nice alternative.

Are you sure you didn't wander into an old peoples care home at by mistake? Easy mistake to make with language and cultural differences

Hi all

well we've been busy and are nearly ready - some paint may be a bit sticky but on the whole we're looking good.

bring a jumper or a coat if your a smoker, or just stand a bit closer to the lighter, no heaters here.

our chef is preparing mini samples of some of the menu to give away.

so come along and have a drink - enjoy some great free food - then you can judge for yourselves.

many thanks for all the positive input, look forward to seeing you later.

Definitely more welcoming and the food smelt good (was too late for the free tasters) but ?2.80 for a J20??!! As a non-drinker I feel like I'm being punished in some way! Will come back but please offer a choice of soft drink for less than ?2 next time. (Otherwise I will have to order a cordial. Times are hard)


;-)

    • 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
