OK, so this thread has had eight people 'in favour' of a new charity shop, three 'against' and eleven neither for nor against in an obvious way or simply pointing out matters of fact. How is this 'very Daily Mail'? Or is that phrase just an updated 'talk to the hand' lazy thread-stopper?

Fuelled by others that make such silly statements like yours too eh? ;-)


Me? Na dont get me envolved :-p

I agree with what was said about the Manager of the small St Christopher's shop. She practically lives there from what I can see! She is devoted to that shop and it seems to be a huge success because of her.

There is also a rather charming elderly gent who sometimes works there on Fridays , he seems to know loads about art and antiquities and is always very helpful!

Don and Ellen at the big shop are also excellent!

I totally agree!

Sorry Sue, but that sounds really bitchy.

As I see it a local forum should be a friendly place where people can voice their opinions, have a healthy debate,

agree disagree whatever-I feel I have as much right to be here as everyone else even if sometimes I do find it a bit Daily mail/MumsNet-ish.

Others may consider it too full of Guardian readers.

We are all different, we all have opinions thats the Joy of it!

Dear oh dear, it was supposed to be a joke, hence the smiley :(

Don't worry, Sue - NewWave's passive-aggressive post is a classic of the genre:

1. Post opinion

2. Read someone's reply disagreeing

3. Make 'ad hominrm' comment to person replying, possibly including the word 'bullying', though 'bitchy' will do (references to Daily Mail, The Guardian and MumsNet are optional)

4. Approve of 'healthy debate' and being 'friendly' - code for 'agree with me or stage 3 might be repeated'

I believe its permanent.

As to it opening today? unsure.

What I especially like about this shop is that due to Marys fashion connections you have new donations from designers at a fraction of the price.

For instance yesterday I saw Karl Donaghue earmuffs in sheepskin which are ?150 in Liberty for ?30!

    • Another recommendation for Greg at Raven Plumbing and Heating. We found a leak at around 2pm, found this thread on EDF so gave Greg a shot and he arrived at 4pm and all (four!) leaks fixed by 5pm. When it’s an emergency, you worry you’ll be taken advantage of financially, but reasonable pricing and Greg gets the job done without any fuss. Thank you!! 07955656941 [email protected]
    • Been a while but it still looks abandoned. Does anyone know what is going to be there?
    • I would ask a solicitor. You may be able to claim compensation. You can speak to Lease free for 15 minutes ( very worthwhile), and a no win no fee Sol.
    • I am no expert by any means, but I wonder first if Foxtons belong to any kind of professional (I use the term loosely) body you could complain to, and second, if you have any grounds to take them to the small claims court. I am surprised and sorry that none of the people you have asked for help could actually help. To be fair, though, re the oven, they have offered to reimburse you for an air fryer, it is the weekend so probably difficult to get someone out to look at it,  and they seem to be addressing that problem at least pretty promptly? Do you have a grill and hob and kettle working OK? Also, is it not the owner's responsibility to address issues such as the mould and the bath?  Shouldn't Foxtons be liaising with them about this?  Oh, and this is not intended to be a joke - try asking ChatGPT (or similar) what you can do. It saves hours of googling  stuff online yourself.
