Green & Blue emailed the forum directly and I am posting it exactly here:


****************************


Dear Forum


Can't post for some reason, but it is the Green and Blue gang here. Someone has very astutely ascertained that we would be here sooner or later, defending our water position and here it is.


I have no idea of why someone was refused tap water last night - it is not and never has been our policy. There may have been some confusion as we charge for filtered water - a very environmentally friendly option. Instead of trucking water in plastic bottles all over the place, we have installed an very sophisticated filtration system right here. The filters are changed once a month and while the maintenance of this does cost money, it means we can charge a lot less for the bottles and glasses. It also tastes like mineral and not tap water.


If things are really busy, we have even been known to give people filtered water when they ask for tap, but in the interests of not going out of business any time soon, that does not happen all the time.


We hope to soon offer a 'refill' system - you can bring a bottle in and we will fill it with our filtered water for a minimal charge. Fresher and environmentally friendlier all round.


hope that helps and apologies to the lady at the heart of the storm, but we are more than happy to serve tap water by the gallon if that is what our customers want!


very best wishes


the Green and Blue gang

The Green and Blue gang should rest assured that the 'lady at the heart of the storm' had a very enjoyable evening on Thursday, as did the rest of her party.


It should be known that the initiator of this thread holds a slightly jaded view of this fine eating and drinking establishment due to the fact that it does not source any wine from vineyards in the West Midlands.

What?! Have Green and Blue never heard of nor tasted the delights of 'CHATEAU PLECK' (Mis En Bouteille au Walsall)?!

For shame!

I am catching up on the forum after being away for the weekend and what a lot to catch up on! I think it is great that G&B take the time to come onto the forum to respond to the point raised. I also agree with the point that *Bob* made on this thread that we shouldn't expect businesses to have to respond to 'every gripe at the drop of a hat.'


Unless I've misunderstood the purpose (if that's the right word) of forums like this, is it not for people to contribute in ways they feel able? Even if that is sometimes in the vein of the 'oo' and 'arrh' and 'well I never' type comments usually featured in 'water cooler' type chats. Notwithstanding the whole not saying anything that is liable to get the forum into legal hot water and as long as there isn't a consistent and sustained attack on ED businesses, my view is that many comments appear to me as a Victoria Wood-esque view of life.


I agree with many of the comments made in the other G&B thread that the forum is certainly a broad church and that some balance has to be found between a sharing of personal experiences, for which there will be much debate, and not completely trouncing both ED businesses and those who attempt to make fair comment about them.


I think G&B are really very good and they stock some fab wine, so much so that we took a selection of wines as a present to a wine buff in Manchester, on the strength of the fact that the selection is so good and unlikely to be found in great abundance at other wine shops.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
