The worst bits of cliquiness that do from time to time emerge on here.


I admit that CC, is one of my best mates in the real world, and I know he posted this when really drunk at 2:30 in the morning, that is why I laughed, because it was a funny rant.


I do think he would have been better just sticking to the housing thread rather than starting this.


I know what you're saying about going against the liberal norm, and questioning immigration. In fact, people like myself and Jeremy supported some of these questions, Tony just went a bit OTT with it, and held on to it like a dog with a bone.


Tony has never said anything overtly racist, but A LOT of people have raised questions about whether or not he is. Personally, I have no idea if he is a racist, or just an old school white Londoner, but I can see why people have made assumptions.


When I first saw Tony's user name, and where he lived, I admit to immediately labelling him as a racist flamer. Since then, he has become quite a big part of the forum (for better or worse), and I think I was hasty. I do however think that he doth protest too much on occasion.


Sometimes he makes me laugh though.

Tony.London.Suburbs will also not be banned for comments to date*. He has been warned before for taking discussions off topic hence he cannot post outside the Lounge. He has also been warned for not reporting an offensive and illegal post and instead saying "Admin will get into trouble for this, let's see how long it'll take to be removed". That mockery is not in the spirit of the forum.


At the end of the day, if one person is spoiling the forum for lots of people then action will be taken, but people have to let me know their thoughts. I have had about six complaints about Tony.London.Suburbs in in the last six months, which is borderline and the situation is being monitored.


Please remember it is not about censorship, is is about dealing with individuals who make the forum an unfriendly and unwelcoming place. That is not what I want the forum to be.


*However if he refers to me as mate or mucker he will be.

SteveT will not be banned for comments to date.

Tony.London.Suburbs will also not be banned ......................


Hooray for our Administrator we have top quality management, only in my humble Daily Mail biggotted opinion of course.



I am still waiting to get a reply from CrystalClear and LegalEagle-ish on the alleged inflammatory remarks I made on the Housing immigrants thread.


I am a very patient man, well in this case anyway.

Very clever Santerme, especially given CrystalClear's foul-mouthed tirade

I have written less than ten lines in total on that housing thread, so I can understand why you 'can't be arsed trawling through all that garbage'.

I think I can say that I have never read through an entire TLS post. It's the form and content argument, the structure and style of his prose entirely obscures any meaningful point he wants to make. Read everyone else's responses and you know precisely what Tony has said.


Actually, you can pretty much just read Tony's username and you know...

I've read through some of his posts, if they seem coherent and normal a quick Google search shows that he's copied it from somewhere and tried on pass it off as his own. Tony didn't like the fact that I pointed it out a couple of times, and then he made out that I'd committed the crime.

    • I needed someone to fit a new bathroom tap at short notice and Lucasz was on-time, quick and did a great job. No fuss and no mess - will definitely have more jobs for him.
    • I have a warning from EE that they're undertaking work locally to me, I'm assuming the south end of Underhill, over the next 5 days so there may be a temporary reduction in service. Otherwise it's fine. In case you suddenly hear adverse comments, problems may only be short lived. 
    • For those of us in Forest Hill this is great news.  As well as a better connection to Clapham, a quicker route to Catford is very welcome, as we often use Catford stations a lot for the Thameslink and to go down to Bromley and Beckenham. A stop in Brixton would be welcome.  Yes we have the P4.  But have you ever used the P4?
    • Sophie, I have to thank you for bringing me squarely into 2025.  I was aware of 4G/5G USB dongles for single computers, and of being able to use smartphones for tethering 4G/5G, but hadn't realised that the four mobile networks were now providing home hub/routers, effectively mimicking the cabled broadband suppliers.  I'd personally stick to calling the mobile networks 4G/5G rather than wifi, so as not to confuse them with the wifi that we use within home or from external wifi hotspots. 4G/5G is a whole diffferent, wide-area set of  networks, and uses its own distinct wavebands. So, when you're saying wi-fi, I assume you're actually referring to the wide-area networks, and that it's not a matter of just having poor connections within your home local area network, or a router which is deficient.   If any doubt, the best test will be with a computer connected directly to the router by cable; possibly  trying different locations as well. Which really leaves me with only one maybe useful thing to say.  :) The Which pages at https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/broadband/article/what-is-broadband/what-is-4g-broadband-aUWwk1O9J0cW look pretty useful and informative. They include local area quality of coverage maps for the four providers (including 5G user reports I think) , where they say (and I guess it too is pretty common knowledge): Our survey of the best and worst UK mobile networks found that the most common issues mobile customers have are constantly poor phone signal and continuous brief network dropouts – and in fact no network in our survey received a five star rating for network reliability.
