Is this a serious request re the Begging Bowl thread?

Can posters recommend companies that are not in ED or immediate areas?


Are business allowed to keep 'mentioning' themselves as purveyors of services other posters are asking about. I thought this would fall under the one time mentioning your business, and thereafter you need to have people recommend you.

Gidget, seriously, just relax. Whilst I'm sure your continual reporting of messages in the business section is well intentioned, it is driving us all potty. You've already been asked once to only report serious breaches of forum rules and yet you persist in reporting every petty offence you come across. Please, stop it.

Hi Gidget,


The forum was running exceptionally well last week and looking into what you said further and chatting to some of the Admins/Moderators it seems you have reported 322 messages previously and been warned not to report so often. Your constant reporting dilutes the seriousness of any messages that you report so please appreciate that when you are actually reporting a "serious" incident it take a bit longer for the team to address it due to the engrained lethargy from seeing an email entitled "Gidget has reported a message" for the 323rd time.

Hi, sorry for the delay. For some reason the ignore facility creates loads of error messages which fill up the forum database and make it crash. If we ever get time we will look into and bring back the ignore feature but I think it maybe related to the ignore module not running on PHP5.3, which means it's not a quick fix.

ianr, that's a bit like the thread about the 176 running ten minutes late :)

The time went wrong on the old server when the clocks went back/forward but then I managed to find out how to set the server clock to update from and external timeserver (like Greenwich's). I haven't set this server's clock to stay up to date from elsewhere yet so I assume it's gradually slipping, let me see what I can do.

Yes, reduce your picture size.


When you upload a 10MB file for a picture of your cat, that's the same thing as taking Admin's breakfast from under his nose, smashing it over his head and putting the pieces in his pocket.


Whilst satisfying, it doesn't induce cooperation.


Here's one, go for 600 width maximum http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Pages/Home.aspx

    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
