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?

    • I think it's a good idea and follows the example of other towns/areas. As it says in the article, the area around the main tourist attractions in Southwark, that is The Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern and the whole walking route from London Bridge to Blackfriars, takes a lot of maintaining and it shouldn't be a burden on regular council tax payers like us.
