Hello, I know this isn't an ED business, but I was looking for a place that sold reclaimed wood and discovered this fantastic place run by the Shaw Trust, which supports disabled or disadvantaged people back to work, or with training, and thought it could do with a bit of a plug, and I don't think there's anything like it in our neck of the woods. The people were so friendly, and we saw the workshop where they make thing snd develop new skills, it was like being in the countryside (it practically is) and there's a small ruin to look at too! (The moated remains of Elizabeth I's spymaster's house - Francis Walsingham). The timber was cheaper than it would be from somewhere like B&Q - we got old scaff planks - and i thought people might be interested in knowing about this for garden projects etc etc. It's the Bromley Wood Recycling Project and they could do with more customers!!! Phone/e-mail them before you go to check their stock.

  But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts. I don't have sufficient knowledge to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.

  For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

  If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them. We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
