Three people on tripadvisor would disagree.



It's just an anecdote - about tripadvisor and it's irrelevance to local matters. I have nowt against the place.

sorry *bob* hadn't properly read the thread, didn't realise your post linked to the 'b&b'.


have seen some hilarious responses to obviously fake/whining/putting boot in type reviews on TA from management. Sad they have to take time to deal with it but guess thats price you pay for publicity these days, good or bad.

I have never been in *that place that shall never be named". Nor have I ever returned to *the other place* after my foccia horror. I have however revisited * the unamed charitable outlet where breast feeding is verboten* several times.I still fear the backlash from the proprietor of *the soft furnishings and tat emporium* after an ill judged public comment some years ago, so have never entered the shop again. Though I do relish pressing my face against the window and gurning on saturday afternoons.

it was clear Mick Mac, I knew you were joking. Am sorry for my rather grumpy and unnecessary post on this otherwise funny thread!

My thoughts are that if one has had a bad experience then one should be able to freely discuss that experience. Likewise with a positive experience. If we only reserved space for those who had nice things to say then every establishment would have a gleaming reputation. I am all for the calling out of bad places (i.e The Cherry Tree) but likewise, I'm all for the calling out of great places (i.e Blackbird Bakery).


As someone pointed out prior, if an establishment isn't happy because people are being 'mean' towards them, the answer is simple: change what you're doing. And I'm certain there are a lot of places within ED that need to buck up their ideas (I can certainly name a few). They should take it as criticism and do their best to improve for the benefit of their customers but also their business.


As a side note: someone mentioned The Cherry Tree and quite frankly I'm in awe that such a place is still conducting business. The operations that go on in that place are on rocky grounds with regards to the legality of it all. I once worked a 7 hour shift and was informed that no breaks are allowed and I also received cash in hand, having been told that "my national insurance contributions are paid by the owners" - a likely story. I was also not given full payment for the work that I did there and was constantly under anxiety as a result of being under the watchful eyes of the owners at all times whilst having to put up with their awful attitudes, their racism, sexism and downright rudeness towards customers. It's a shambles and an embarrassment. It's exploitation and, truthfully, you should all avoid this place.

Admin - could these names be reinstated once the Defamation Act (2013) comes into play?


It is aimed at reducing the UK's targeting for libel tourism, but has a clause about opinions being fine if clearly stated as an opinion and not aimed at causing serious harm to rhe reputation of the business.


Surely commenting on a terrible meal or some bad service doesn't quite warrant that? Especially as this is the EDF and hardly the front cover of The Sun.

    • Place your on-screen cursor over the name of the sender, the sender's actual email address should appear, often with scammers it comes up with  a very unbusinesslike address. Failing that, you should be able to speak to Virgin and ask if legit, Microsoft on the other hand I wouldn't bother trying to contact...
    • Bit hard to do that in the middle of the night without causing even more disturbance to other neighbours than the original barking! Are you sure you need to provide an address? There must be loads of instances where it's very hard to trace the source of a noise, and I certainly wouldn't want to be roaming around by myself in the middle of the night trying to track it down! It does need to be triple glazing, not double. I was told that it's what they use for office windows at Heathrow, but I've no idea if that's true. It doesn't make the room completely soundproof, but it does make a huge difference. There must be no gaps anywhere, even very thin ones, where noise could get through.
    • Maybe just stick to describing what they did, rather than calling them anything? Though I completely understand your frustration, having encountered similar people in official positions in the past who you wonder how they ever got their jobs, grammar.
