Hey Steve - the Donate button is on the very bottom line - far right hand side.


I'm happy to send a cheque with a fee backdated to when I first joined the forum. I can even send you some folding-stuff by special delivery!


I do have a Paypal account but it is currently frozen by Paypal, which means that I can't take money out. It has a lot of money in it (about ?600). Under Paypal's Ts and Cs they can freeze any account at any time until they are satisfied that you are who you say you are. Interest on frozen accounts (which they keep) is a nice income stream so they are in no hurry to unfreeze frozen accounts. They have a copy of my passport and a current utility bill but it could still be months before I see my money again.


I'm not looking for advice here; I've already made the decision that I'm not going to get hot and bothered about Paypal - I just wanted to illustrate the point that Paypal is not a user-friendly organisation. There's nothing benign about them.

Hi, it's really good to know people want to donate, thank you. Unfortunately we can't accept cheques as we don't have a forum bank account but I believe you can pay to paypal using your credit/debit card i.e. you don't have to have a PayPal account to donate. I think there's something called electronic cheques too but I've not looked into it.



Thanks again


Mark

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
