Hello All


I'm on the lookout for a family to film with this afternoon - can anyone help? New research suggests that the average UK child has ten times as many toys as they need and that they only actually play with 10% of them. Good Morning Britain is looking to film with mums and dads who admit that their child/children have too many toys - but that they still feel under pressure to spend when it comes to birthdays. We'd need to do about an hours filming with you this afternoon or evening (at a time convenient to you) and then do a live interview with you tomorrow morning from your home(about two minutes) There would be fee of ?200 for this. Pls PM for more details.

Afraid I'm not available but have to agree 100%. It's not just the big stuff but all the tat they acquire along the way. Usually that's the stuff they play with the most!! For us, a lot of it comes from family (grandparents, close uncles/aunties etc) all each spending the equivalent of what is probably sufficient in itself as the main present.

      Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.

      Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Sue · Posted

      The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.

      I'm wondering why they would do that? Because surely positive reviews could only help them, and if they thought they might get negative reviews, shouldn't they have been addressing the reasons that might be (unless someone had an unwarranted grudge against them)? But in any case, how could they have stopped people posting reviews on here? PS I have corrected your typo! 😃
