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.

it was clear Mick Mac, I knew you were joking. Am sorry for my rather grumpy and unnecessary post on this otherwise funny thread!

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.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
