Threads "nasty and insulting"?? This may be true of the occasional comment but even in this thread the positive and supportive posts for the Threshers' staff have far outnumbered the couple of unpleasant ones. And I think you can see this repeated in other threads about various pubs and shops etc....Most posters go out of their way to praise bar staff and shopkeepers etc even when severely criticising the place they work in/for. And they seem to aim for objectivity and constructive criticism I think...


There have been a couple of cases where certain shopkeepers have been given a lot of flak....but these are the exception not the rule and there's usually been unusual circumstances provoking these.


Of course if Jasmine's neighbours work for Foxton's and/or support Manchester United then her post makes perfect sense...:))

DPF rather proving Jasmine's point there I think? ;-)


Mind you, it is rather ironic Jasmine that you'd taint the 90% of positive comments because of the 10% of unpleasant ones. It's rather like you're committing the very crime you're accusing others of?


I like the ladies in Threshers very much. They had a nice line in Nobilo and Villa Maria Sauvignon Blancs plus a couple of mainstream central Italian reds like Montepulciano that you couldn't get elsewhere on LL.


I never asked them to help me out, but they were charming and welcoming without being asked and that was good enough for me.


(They did tip off home early occasionally which was a bit frustrating.)

Jasmine - I agree that a couple of comments on the thread were a tad unkind, however this is a forum that 'tells it as it is' - not sanitised and (seldom) censored. This means that a variety of points of view will be put forward, some of which you may not agree with. I would honestly rather it was like that than we all roundly praise everywhere and everyone even if praise is not due.
Telling it like it is should not involve personal insults. If you think a shop is rubbish, fine. If you think a staff member is rude, fine. However, coming on here and making nasty comments about people who have always been lovely is not fine. I do however agree that the majority of posts on this thread are actually very nice about the staff. Perhaps someone should highlight the supportive comments to them.

Yeah, its been a real character assassination hasn't it, be strong though Jasmine because good will always prevail.

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
