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.

    • Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here. 
    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
