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.

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
