Oh dear. :'(


Poor Bellenden Belle and poor Green & Blue.


Bellenden Belle offered an olive branch and said that she didn't mean for anyone to shun the place, she likes the place, she enjoyed her food and drink, it was reasonably priced and the service was 'splendid'. Bellenden Belle - you certainly haven't deserved some of the comments you have received. Please come back!


Green & Blue - poor you. A thread was started and whatever were the rights or wrongs of that thread (I'm not going to offer my opinion because that's not going to help anyone at this stage), I think many will agree that the G&B gang have done a fantastic job with the shop/bar and that you have become a real part of the ED community. (tu):))

Keep up the good work G&B gang!!


It is beginning to look like a record got broken somewhere, but do please carry on doing what you do.


I have to say I agree with Bob, that if I as a customer have some sort of gripe then perhaps a first port of call would be to take it up with the respective organisation themselves rather than immediately sound off on a public forum.


I shall henceforth withold my criticisms of the Palmerston until I've taken it up with them personally, though the Vale shall continue to be the target of my ire forevermore.

I've not been to G&B - yet. But any place that spends time thinking up ways of getting champagne to their customers at a lower price is bound to go down well in my book - because I love champagne!! (The whole *Bob* v BB thing was, as someone said earlier, painful to watch and I'd definitely have to sit on the fence in terms of rights and wrongs rather than offer any opinion..)

I actually think G&B being upfront and open about their sales tactics quite refreshing.


Traditionally business favours secrecy and being two-faced - I'd much prefer people to be open and honest.


We know they're in business, we know they have to make a living, and we know the life of small business is not easy. And a good deal is a good deal!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
