Eccentric


Cant really be specific as its in legals and not confirmed and It wouldnt be fair of me to say, at this point.The place already has a3 use. Go do some research on that and maybe you will find out the exact location. However cant divulge the proposed tenant. Sorry to be a supertease.

There is much sense in what you say and it is a bit painful to criticise an old friend. But the Blue Mountain being the quirky loner is no longer true


To paraphrase Damon Albarn complaining about Noel Gallagher "You can only live on a legend for so long. yes it was good but it's like a guy in his 60s saying he got 9 A levels when he was 15"


That's being a bit harsh on Mel & Co actually, I do still like to go but there is enough feedback for some of the complaints to be true and worth addressing?

Could be Grace & Favour. As I recall it started life as a cafe , good smoked salmon on scrambled eggs!

I'm torn...it is a lovely little place and embodies the ED spirit (I've met complete strangers who have made comments such as "oh wow, I'd love to have a coffee in BM" when they have heard I live in ED, as though this is 'living the dream'). However, I have waited literally half an hour for a smoothie before, then an innocent smoothie style carton has been brought over for ?2.50! Also it was very embarrassing taking my mother there and paying so much for one slice of toasted bread - eek! I think it has been wildly popular with deserved popularity and is now so popular it is receiving a back-lash of criticism. It's like everything! The prices are in keeping with the demand and the local economy. They don't need to cut prices to shift food and it's not charity afterall!


The sweet shop and BM cafe make a good combo for the yummy mummies!

I've been to the BM a couple of times now and I've really enjoyed it. The food's been tasty and the staff's been pleasant and I haven't been kept waiting long.


Good to hear a positive report on Jack's. I spotted it the other day and am looking forward to trying it out.

Went to Jacks at the weekend, very, very dissapointed.

Extraordinarily average food, which while not too expensive, did not feel like very good vfm either.

Would rather pay a bit more and go to Petitou, which is a million times better. I think Jacks may have been good when it was a 'pioneer' in ED before there were so many other choices, now, it seems to have little to recommend it.

I am always amused by the tendency of people to hallucinate some sort of selfless 'pioneering spirit' in those who 'open up' a new shopping area and 'make it what it is today'. I am sure that BM was set up as a business venture with the intention of making money and that the owner was not exactly a visionary who said "I will sacrifice my finances, health, happiness and entire lifetime - struggle by on a pittance - content in the knowledge that those who come after me will benefit from my selfless trailblazing."


Of course, I could be wrong.

    • 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".
