It's been a while since I had a grump, but of late there have been so many business advertising their services in this section that I am starting to lose my patience.


If you run a class, offer tutoring, look after pets/children, help people lose weight (etc etc), then you should not post in this section.


Zero tolerance from now on, I've previously been moving threads that are in the wrong place, but the list of repeat offenders is as long as my arm and the hours in a day are limited, so threads will be deleted without warning.


Thanks.

So sorry. I only saw this after I posted the information about my classes. I'm not sure where I should post - I'll try another area of the site - please let me know if it's still in the wrong place! Apologies again. Regards, Rebecca Vicary.

Hello moderator


I've just launched a site flendr.com which is about lending between family and friends - a big taboo, but this makes it easier. I am on the forum (have even bought some stuff and sold stuff) and I'd like to see what the forum thinks about it or lending between friends and family in general. I've done it all my life - hence Flendr. Can I do that/how can i do that.


Thanks in advance

My guess it depends on the definition of "advertisements". If I recommend my favourite baby food shop to someone asking for ideas and suggestions on the topic, would that be considered a violation?


Should not be the case.


Whereas XYZ corporation coming in to say how great their services are, I think we are all much sick and tired of that and heavyweight moderation is certainly due.

Hi


Oh no I may have just done this! I read the bit for Businesses first in the Term's of Use and it said you could do 1 mention if it was Dulwich based...? Sorry if I've put it in the wrong place - tell me where to re-post and I will!

I am sorry I didn't realise this although I am not sure if my post is classified as an advertisement or not (?!) as I was really hoping for feedback about the idea. I will happily move it if you think it would be more appropriately positioned elsewhere on the site.

Hi Moderator - I was looking to meet and connect with fellow Latin American and Spanish families in the area. It's not a business and I'm not running a class. Should I have posted in the family classifieds section? When I looked through it it seemed to be purely for people running businesses and looking to buy/sell things which I didn't really think related to us.. when you get time some more guidance would be much appreciated :-)

    • Unless they were wearing school uniform with name tags otherwise children do change their clothes you know. 
    • I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all. 
    • You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.      
    • "PGC, do you reckon this 'Anderson -Tendulkar' series could make Tests a bit more interesting to the wider word?" Alas no. Until it comes back to terrestial telly, I think it will always suffer from elitism(?).  Excepting The Guardian, cricket is barely mentioned in other press. I am fortunate in that my daughter has just added me to her subscription on NOW TV. It has been great to watch this test; it really could have gone either way, eariler in the day, which always makes it more exciting. The only bugbear is that I am a TMS afficianado, and they are about eight deliveries ahead of the tv! I thought Tongue was excellent in mopping up the tailenders, and Duckett was a delight to watch. Bumrah and Jadeja were brilliant to see. I'm sure the Edgbaston crowd will have tremendous supporters for both sides. PS: I don't think Jofra will be back on the strength of one county wicket.
