Three people on tripadvisor would disagree.



It's just an anecdote - about tripadvisor and it's irrelevance to local matters. I have nowt against the place.

sorry *bob* hadn't properly read the thread, didn't realise your post linked to the 'b&b'.


have seen some hilarious responses to obviously fake/whining/putting boot in type reviews on TA from management. Sad they have to take time to deal with it but guess thats price you pay for publicity these days, good or bad.

I have never been in *that place that shall never be named". Nor have I ever returned to *the other place* after my foccia horror. I have however revisited * the unamed charitable outlet where breast feeding is verboten* several times.I still fear the backlash from the proprietor of *the soft furnishings and tat emporium* after an ill judged public comment some years ago, so have never entered the shop again. Though I do relish pressing my face against the window and gurning on saturday afternoons.

My thoughts are that if one has had a bad experience then one should be able to freely discuss that experience. Likewise with a positive experience. If we only reserved space for those who had nice things to say then every establishment would have a gleaming reputation. I am all for the calling out of bad places (i.e The Cherry Tree) but likewise, I'm all for the calling out of great places (i.e Blackbird Bakery).


As someone pointed out prior, if an establishment isn't happy because people are being 'mean' towards them, the answer is simple: change what you're doing. And I'm certain there are a lot of places within ED that need to buck up their ideas (I can certainly name a few). They should take it as criticism and do their best to improve for the benefit of their customers but also their business.


As a side note: someone mentioned The Cherry Tree and quite frankly I'm in awe that such a place is still conducting business. The operations that go on in that place are on rocky grounds with regards to the legality of it all. I once worked a 7 hour shift and was informed that no breaks are allowed and I also received cash in hand, having been told that "my national insurance contributions are paid by the owners" - a likely story. I was also not given full payment for the work that I did there and was constantly under anxiety as a result of being under the watchful eyes of the owners at all times whilst having to put up with their awful attitudes, their racism, sexism and downright rudeness towards customers. It's a shambles and an embarrassment. It's exploitation and, truthfully, you should all avoid this place.

Admin - could these names be reinstated once the Defamation Act (2013) comes into play?


It is aimed at reducing the UK's targeting for libel tourism, but has a clause about opinions being fine if clearly stated as an opinion and not aimed at causing serious harm to rhe reputation of the business.


Surely commenting on a terrible meal or some bad service doesn't quite warrant that? Especially as this is the EDF and hardly the front cover of The Sun.


For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation_Act_2013

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By malumbu · Posted

      @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit

      ED Nature Watch

      By malumbu · Posted

      I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By TheRoses · Posted

      Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
