Just wanted to ask if it would be ok to post this e-petition somewhere on the forum.



We call on the Government to introduce defibrillators to all public buildings by 2017, and provide staff with the appropriate training. We also call on the Government to offer all people aged between 12 & 35 a simple ECG test, which could reduce the current death rate of 12 young people a week.

Sharon, I'm not admin, but it would seem to me that this would be a lot more worthy a thread than the ones in the lounge about cats and xfactor, and the ones in the family room about not being able to get your buggy in to a cafe!


I can't see that a thread for this would be breaking any forum rules, although it's good of you to ask first.

  • 2 weeks later...

I have come across this thread after constantly coming across rudeness from GIDGET.


I myself have had a recommendation deleted, which, if against the rules fair enough (I recommended my partner).


Gidget, as you are a forum Hitler and it seems your intentions are to continue obsessing over what everyone else does, please can you do it properly as my post was deleted when there were two posts above it of people recommending THEMSELFS let alone their partner.


I would just like to point out that he is not my husband and I do not work for him, hes been recommended on here by ED people that have used him and I thought my recommendation might be helpful. He HAS done work for me that I have had to checkatrade approve and I can recommend him because I have actually been a customer of his services. He doesn?t even know that I recommend him on here and is far too busy to sit at a PC with this cold weather he doesn?t stop working. ADMIN, if I am not allowed to recommend him after using his services, I apologise but can something be done about Gidgets constant rudeness and stalking of everyone?s post because in all honesty it makes me not want to use the forum and I am sure many would agree.

Ilovemywhippet, your post was probably deleted for repetition. Your post of 3rd December stands, the one of 4th December got taken down. ED businesses are allowed to advertise themselves for free once, and for full compliance with the rules should contain an ED trading address.


If you see other businesses breaking the rules, you can report them but the mod team do sweep as often as we can.


Hope that helps.

You have 2 posts on the 3rd December recommending your partner which are still there. You also recommend your own business which is not in ED. How have I been rude to you.

My business does work in ED thank you very much. Gidget have you nothing better to do? Id pipe down a bit if i were you, it appears theres a bit of an anti gidget protest going on. I find it quit comical that this is a huge part of your daily life. Jist do nit comment on any of my posts as to avoid future conflict.

Jeeze and here we go again, if you don't want people to comment on your posts, don't post on a public forum.

  • Administrator

Gidget, I can confirm that businesses aren't supposed to be advertising in the for sale section and also cannot big themselves up more than once in the business section. And I can also confirm that they have to have an ED address.


However I would also ask you to stop your vigilante actions on the forum. We've had words before because you have a habit of rubbing people up the wrong way, so please stop it.

Excuse me hibbs but there is a difference between people commenting on posts and then being rude with obsessive policing behavior when they are not admin. It is annoying and deters people from posting on this forum. I myself and fed up of seeing gidget everywhere, always telling people what to do and complaining.


Rules are rules but she/ he picks people out and targets them. This is why I was annoyed, i did not think recommending my partner was wrong because he actually does work for me and my landlord to which I decided to recommend him on to other people. If that's against the rules, my mistake but on the thread there were two people above recommending themselfs, let alone a partner and she never rudely commented to them, hence just targeting new users as she knows certain people wont stand for it so just annoys people at her leisure.

I have not been rude to you.

Well, I'm not Admin, and I'm not convinced that the lack of replies are down to you being in the wrong section, but more that people don't really know how to support your cause...


BUT, if you wanted to get it in the main section it would need to be an East Dulwich issue, which you could maybe achieve by requesting information about social groups for the elderley and their families in ED?


Like wise if you wanted to get it in What's On. You could be more specific about a date, time and location, and invite people to get in touch with you to organise it?


Just an idea?

I've always assumed that the "family" section was actually for people with young children - although I know that's not strictly the definition of "family" - so I never go there.


I can't be the only one!


If Huguenot's suggestions aren't appropriate for your thread, you could try the lounge?

    • Hi, not sure if anyone can help, I am having trouble with my car, a mechanical issue specific to this Peugeot model I have. I am looking to see if anyone knows of a garage nearby that has Peugeot knowledge and can help ( I also need to get the car towed there) I have tried stellantis in Croydon and Wimbledon, who are bloody difficult to get hold of for a start (took me a week to get some sort of reply) they can’t  book me in for over four  weeks, want £200 just to have a look at it first, and it’s a fare way for me to pay to have it towed Considering this is where I got the car from I,d thought they would be more helpful, but hey. just thought I would see if anyone had any recommendations on here for someone nearer.
    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
