Sheesh - this happened to me a couple of years ago - it's more horrible than your can imagine.


Anybody see who the order was in the name of - suppliers, landlord or local authority?


Anyhoo, best wishes to the good souls at GandB; it might seem like it, but it's not the end of the world, dust yourselves off and start again.

Without knowing the full detail its hard to comment but seems ridiculous to close the place, surely they are more likely to get their money back if they allow it to continue running......unless of course it was running at a loss.


The whole drains problem cant have helped matters, and may even be the cause.

They can move pretty sharpish and without warning in my experience. My girlfriend managed a pub that was visited by Bailiffs after a banking error missed one payment of rent.


Let's hope this is equally a storm in a teacup. Would be a great shame if it went for good.

I was thinking the same.


This is clearly a business that was very popular and I imagine making a good return. The drains thing may well have precipitated this development, but the business would appear to have a sound long-term future. Which would make the latest development quite shortsighted if the people involved are landlord etc (which we don't yet know).

The landlord would be contractually entitled to its rent when due and if it is in arrears also to seek possession. Can't see what's "greedy" about that - its not as if both parties didn't agree the rent to be paid (and when) in the first place! Landlords don't just impose whatever rent they like you know?!


Beyond that, nobody except the parties and their advisers are likely to know the pertinent details, so I don't see how people on here can (validly) form such opinions.


And I'm speaking as someone who doesn't much care for some landlords. Also, I know nothing about the details of this case. Would be sorry to see the place go though - notwithstanding all the ranting from the owner about the drains issue.

I worked for a large company that had financial difficulties and as part of its cash flow policy didnt pay its bills until 90 days from invoice. Since common payment terms are 30 days, it was a fairly frequent occurance to have a bailiff / sheriff in reception. Our dept would get a call from reception, one of us would go downstairs, said Bailiff / Sheriff would be eyeing up the flat screen TV's / reception sofa's/ even the cars in the car park, we would then check their paperwork and as long as all in order arrange payment. They would go on their merry way happy that payment would be made.........


If this is a reposseion order, either payment hasnt been made, or the landlord is evicting the tenant for other reasons...... maybe they want the premises back etc. Evicting lawful tenants is a slow process, all does seem very odd given the popularity of the business!


Complete speculation but I wonder if rent was witheld due to the drains situation and there is now a dispute with the Landord as result.

Please can people not mention the drains issue. The forum has previously had a formal request that the drains issue is not mentioned and should it be mentioned it should be curtailed as soon as possible.


Also please respect that this thread is about a legal issue and therefore care should be taken as to what is said.


Thank you.

>FYI I'm a journalist. I write court stories and stories about ``legal isues'' every day of my life. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why the fact that this involves a ``legal issue'' means that any more care need be taken on this thread than any other. Zero. Rien. Not a sausage.


On a slightly different point, thuough, it is never a good idea to make damaging and unsubstantiated allegations about anyone in a public forum, regardless of ``legal issues.''

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • 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".
