Yeah i guess so, but in some way i think he made the right decision at the right time which paid off for his hard work over the years; but in another way maybe he had other reasons for wanting out. Either way he has become very wealthy and has made it for himself which you have to give him credit for.

To be honest i would not be at all surprised if he does bail out foxtons with a rescue bid because he has become so wealthy and as far as we know he isnt doing much else busiesswise so besides walking the dog and reading the paper in his mansion he has nothing else to do. But good on him for selling in the 1st place; he is switched on.

As much as I have my own personal issues with Foxtons, I think everyone deserves to earn a living and tarnishing these people with one big brush is a little over dramatic in my opinion. I Give benefit of the doubt to everyone, I would not wish for Foxtons to go under and have people made unemployed, I think that is a very negative opinion to hold.

Nevertheless, the 'in ya face' sales drive that F enforces is enough. I personally have not had the displeasure of F but many people I know have. If you take a closer look at their strategy: To force prices up has a negative impact as now many can not afford these high prices and thus prices fall. This is negative and therefore if they did not exist then they would not contribute to this negative market force. ED does not need them and I hope they sink..... that is positive.

Any company that promotes a profit over integrity ethos serves no good to society. Likewise individuals who buy into that kind of ethos (often so gleefully) are exposing an antisocial personality flaw and are of no good to any of us. Throw them all into the North sea is what I say.


Why society and the law tolerate businesses where it is ?ok? or even expected to be dishonest I have no idea.

      Some Facebook groups I am in are, or  have become,  private groups, because there are  so many trolls on FB. Including a group set up to discuss birds 🙄 There are probably downsides to that as the admin has to approve all prospective members, who have to agree to certain rules I think, and I'm not sure it's failsafe. It's certainly time consuming for the admin. But probably less time consuming than having to pre approve all posts?

      That rubbish is a health and safety issue. It could easily fall on someone walking underneath it.

      A town square would be nice. Perhaps we could pedestrianise North cross Road and create a square at the junction of Lordship Lane. Can't imagine there would be any objections / controversy.  This is probably true, but the issue is not so much the level of the rent, but the degree to which it is sustainable in the context of the local market. The Landlords locally do seem to have squeezed rents to the point where places can no longer survive in many cases. Think the furore was largely manufactured tbf.

      Nitazenes - a new danger to be aware of

      By Moovart · Posted

      https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14774205/Urgent-warning-opioid-deaths-Met-Police-pills-heroin-nightclubs.html?ito=email_share_article-top   I'm sharing this article to help to spread the word about these new deadly synthetic opioids called Nitazenes which are finding their way onto the drug scene.  Two more young lives lost last weekend in young people at a South London club.    Most people I talk to have never heard of Nitazenes which are being used as contaminants in a number of other drugs including sleeping pills like valium and Xanax, oxycodone but have also been found in vapes and sedative antihistamines and cocaine.  So people buying sleeping tablets and other substances have no idea of the risk they are taking.  This is a relatively new trend and the number of deaths is on the increase.  Do discuss it with your teenagers and young adult children and anyone you know tempted to purchase sleeping tablets online.  It really is a much more dangerous and potentially lethal time to buy tablets online or on the street and hopefully knowledge of Nitazenes can help people protect themselves.  This stuff is in London and no doubt, is already in Dulwich so do spread the word.
