    rent caps

    We have my parents old house which we rent out. They brought it well below market value in the council house sell off of the '80's . The rent we charge is fairly cheap compared to most advertised in our area and is on a par with housing association rents. We occasionally attend a private...

    Selling yourself for work- hanging doors

    I am a chippy but I'd rather not hang doors for a living . Never really been a regular part of my work , I could go a year and only hang a single door or have a couple of dozen to hang in one go so I've never really had the experience to get particularly fast. Six internals a day is my best...

    Where do you pee when there is no toilet?

    What a waste , urine is wonderful stuff to take home for the compost heap and male urine is said to be better than female , probably why nature provided such a handy dispenser .

    What do you believe "money" is?

    Technically I suppose it's an iou that can be exchanged over and over again between an unending number of people without having to physically move material goods around . On practical terms it's a useful tool to appropriate a value to something . For example when bartering one has to have an...

    Petrol/Diesel ban from 2040

    Barter has been discussed in detail on another forum I use and when I posted on here more frequently I did ask if people did or were prepared to barter their services for goods . I've done jobs in exchange for something else other than money but the general consensus seems to be to shy away from...

    Petrol/Diesel ban from 2040

    Possibly of more concern than what actually powers them? https://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/feb/10/are-car-loans-driving-us-towards-the-next-financial-crash

    Brexit residency rights

    Ok playing devils advocate a little here but perhaps having no agreement and a series of people returning to their own countries would be better for Britain but certainly worse for the rest of the eu. Firstly the majority of people returning here would be pensioners . Their health care is...

    Removing radiator for plasterers

    Religion and contradiction

    Hell has to be much much bigger than heaven , after all there's only a stairway to heaven but there's a whole highway to hell. If this god exsists it's clear where he's ( or she's or it's) sending most of us.

    Soil Fertility Supression - whatever it takes to reduce weeds

    Get a local gardener to come in on a regular basis would seem to be the best course of action. I don't like using chemicals if I can avoid it , regular pulling and hoeing will eradicate pretty much most weeds over time they eventually run out of energy to grow if constantly removed of their...
