And don't even think of letting anyone have access to them.


18/6: edited to remove an example selection of ten icon smileys (five of them animated). Even a few seconds of them can make some feel queasy. :-(


The ascii versions, as eg used above and by Sue below, are of course always usable. Ed [22/6]: But now again likely to be translated by the forum software into the graphic ones.

Dear Admin,


Have we ever had any thoughts about a proper jobs section? Either advertising local jobs or for smaller london firms looking to tap into local East Dulwich talent? I don't feel it fits within the tradesmen cleaners section or the general classifieds (more item based) and could warrant a place of its own. Nor am I talking pyramid schemes, spam or make ???'s whilst at home junk. I'm thinking any jobs in local shops, bars or SME's or any central London firms looking for part time workers (of which there are lots in the happy nappy valley of SE22).


I've struggled to find a suitable spot for mine and so just wanted to check where's best?


Thank you in advance.

Hi


We have had a couple of requests about it before but I don't think it warrants an entire section on its own. I want to keep the forum as compact as possible with as few sections as possible otherwise it will become a sprawling mass, I would only be persuaded if there was a big call for a jobs section however at the moment there's not.


Thank you for your suggestion though, and it is on the list of possible new sections but in the meantime please post it in the East Dulwich business section as long as it's an ED business looking for someone.

I've not used anything that's not on the forum server. But i don't think I dare say any more.


But while I'm here, can I at least gripe again about the way the forum software erroneously treats some ascii strings. Below is an arithmetic series. Look what it does to the bracketed 6 term. All that's needed to correct that behaviour is to change the mapping in the smileys file, or remove the entry entirely. I assume that not many people use the ascii form for input anyway, or that it's canonical for that particular smiley.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
