The EDF has the same rule but it's specific to businesses with a trading address in the SE22 postcode, will you be just as specific? ''Surrounding area'' sounds a bit vague and open to interpretation.

One loophole I've noticed on the EDF recently is that if a business uses it's business name as it's forum's user name, it doesn't get banned, thus every time it posts on any thread it's getting another advert for it's business...stealth advertising if you like. I know I'd personally stop this from happening if I ran a forum as it gives an unfair advantage to that business...

I've used Hayes Carpets a number of times. The first one was when the staff in LL Carpets snubbed me (this is a true story). I would have used them again recently but they didn't stock the stair carpet (stripy by coincidence) so we went to EJ carpets in Forest Hill.


But this is starting to sound like a where to buy, or not as the case may be, carpets thread (parcularly where the old ones are thread bare) rather than some pointless twaddle.

    • For those wanting to boycott US products, it might be useful to consider  a list of brands owned  by Proctor and Gamble:-     Ariel laundry detergent Crest toothpaste[4] Dawn dishwashing Downy fabric softener and dryer sheets Fairy washing up liquid Febreze odour eliminator Gillette razors, shaving soap, shaving cream, body wash, shampoo, deodorant Head & Shoulders shampoo Olay personal and beauty products Oral-B oral hygiene products Pantene haircare products Tide laundry detergents and products Vicks cough and cold products    
    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
