if it helps steveo, houses are big things, normally with windows and doors and jumble sales tend to be boxes of crap clothes on tressel tables

Ha! Yes, this is becoming pleasingly mad.


But to bring it back on topic (sorry), the local estate agents sponsor several of the local schools for their fairs, jumble sales etc and actually make a huge contribution to the community in doing so. I know estate agents get a lot of bad press, but I've been involved in organizing sponsorship for my kids' school - Heber - and I've been surprised by how generously and enthusiastically they've supported our events (thank you Winkworth, DaisyLets, Haarts, Jacksons and Spencer Kennedy!). So credit where it is due - their involvement makes a huge difference to us and many other local schools.


But no, the boards are simply there to advertise the event, nothing to do with that property being for sale.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
