after seeing that docu on TV about how they scam their way through a working day by signing documents that they shouldn't in order to push through a sale in order to get the best bonus they can bla bla bla and yet more bla....I'd rather have Woolies back. You new where you were with good old Woolies.


(The docu focused on one particular Foxtons office, so I'm not commenting about AlL the branches. I'm not one for slander.)

I will never use Foxtons - nothing to do with that documentary, either. My experiences of them include charging landlords and tenants for cleaning which was never done, attempting to charge fines for "late" rent payments which were actually on time, etc. As well as complete apathy from head office.

are they on crack LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I watched Grand Designs abroad last night and for 26k you could buy a three bedroomed bloody house with terrace, on three floors in the French countryside. So yes, crack must have something to do with the farcical situation in the country.

Can't say I agree Alachlan (rising house prices being a good thing)


Surely anyone can see that people in important jobs (And many in non-important but better paid jobs) are beyond getting a place so your second argument means nothing if you can't actually get hold of a property in the first place (ie it will never be an investment)


The only way some people in that position can do it is to beg borrow and steal and become a property investor themselves - fuelling the very speculation. It's all a house of cards and will come tumbling down. The fact that people have been predicting the crash for years without it being true doesn't make it not so. Compared to the last housing crash the average UK dweller relies on debt so the pain next time will make any glib remarks about houses being more than a place to live seem very callous

Indeed so Tillie - the way some people talk these days I wonder if they were even alive at the time, or like childbirth, the pain was so great they have convinced themselves it can never happen again


it's the end of a busy day so my post was rambling a bit - but in short: people must come to a realisation that houses are for people (not just themselves) to live in - from there we can all get on with whatever we do in our lives to make money. We start thinking of them as investments we a) accumulate to the detriment of others and b) will suffer ourselves when the next crash comes


Point a) is of course a foundation-block of the world we live in but surely we can restrict it to commodities with less of a basic need for living?

    • 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".
