Thank you for messaging them, that’s a tit response they should be doing the work to protect their brand?So the other day I sent Roger Oates a message and this is the response.

I think they may have had a fair few messages to make them aware of Glen and Sly's behaviour, and sent the same reply out to everyone who did message them. Like they did with me and another poster.Thank you for messaging them, that’s a tit response they should be doing the work to protect their brand?
"And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for these blasted meddling kids"Let's re-cap how the Hoopers' week is going at the halfway point:
- Major feature pulled from Home Stories
- High profile grid posts removed from Times Property
- Roger Oates brand trying to disassociate themselves
You love to see it
And it’s only Wednesday - Craig David would be proudLet's re-cap how the Hoopers' week is going at the halfway point:

Yes great work @LuBiLu and @emeldahoshThis is the first thing I noticed too! You couldn't make this tit up
GREAT WORK @LuBiLu and @emeldahosh!
I’d suggest Sly just spends Thursday, Friday, Saturday in the Zen room!And it’s only Wednesday - Craig David would be proud
It could have been a tiny discount. There are lots of pictures of their products on different staircases on their website.“We give them a discount in exchange of photo location”. Well if this isn’t the definition of a “collab” I don’t know what is !
Me too!!! Its the only thing of theirs that I'd 100% have in my own house.Jeez, he looks as rough as a badgers arse on his stories.
I *fcking hate myself for loving the stair runner
Yeah I do agree with this one, from a brand PoV it makes sense to knock off a few quid for rights to use the photos rather than spending thousands to stage pics for their site. A bit like builders leaving a sign on your house if they’ve done your drive or Windows...It could have been a tiny discount. There are lots of pictures of their products on different staircases on their website.
I’m in agreement with you on this one. I bet the discount was asked for though before it was offered!If it's a discount that's available to anyone (albeit probably only people with a photogenic house lol) then IMO that's quite different from a brand/influencer relationship. I may be naive, but I'm prepared to give Roger Oates the benefit of the doubt for now. If it's been their standard practice for a long time then it's probably never occurred to them to go digging into the backgrounds of their customers first. Outside of the instagram world hardly anyone will have a flamin' clue who the Hoopers are. Might revise my position if they still publish the photos, though.
That’s a yes then.I did ask home stories if Sly has contacted her, message has been read but no response. Probably wants to erase it from existence!

(listening to the radio in the car) Mum this is KSI and Craig David - do you know who Craig David is? TeenagersAnd it’s only Wednesday - Craig David would be proud
To be fair I totally understand where Fod Is coming from and the power of Instagram...I want to give them the benefit of the doubt.
However I just have this feeling Simon would have mentioned something cuntish like 'I have a big following on Instagram, and I have worked with many brands, so this will bring you more customers'
He tagged it PR Product too. Surely that means they wanted exposure?
ETA - Maybe Sly wanted it to come across like a collab, so it looks like brands still want to work with him? No mention that he got a discount just so they could take photos of the runner in a real life home.
Point taken but my motto is: what’s good for the goose...To be fair I totally understand where Fod Is coming from and the power of Instagram...
Confession time. Last week I was having a new bathroom fitted and it turned out my basin had a blemish. The company I bought it from said it’s gonna take at least 2 weeks and offered me some other tit alternatives. The basin is from crosswater as was the unit it sits on, the expensive top on the unit, taps, taps for my bath and plugs and other tit. So I said “look this is not a cheap basin, I’ve bought loads of stuff from crosswater here, they need to get their customer service sorted out, this bathroom is already delayed because we were waiting on their products and they have the audacity to send me a dud one and now want me to wait at least another 2 weeks?...I have an Instagram account you know” I chortled to myself and then died a little bit inside. I imagine all 12 of my followers would be outraged!!I?
