    How bad is the credit crunch/recession

    I have a joinery manufacturing company in Derbyshire and it's been up and down like a yo-yo so far this year. Sept, Oct and Nov were pretty good but December is looking quiet. There has never been any kind of seasonal pattern to our orders, the busiest month we ever had was a December! A...

    buy or rent?

    My twopennorth, and I have done a lot of thinking about this recently as I'm faced with the same decision. If you need to get a large mortgage, what I don't think has been mentioned so far (forgive me if I missed it) is that a very large proportion (if not all) of your mortgage repayments in...

    Boxing in Understairs

    For what it's worth, I did one like this last year. I battened under the stair string, battened down the wall on the left and on the panel on the right, and then 2" x 1" battens down to the floor on each side of where I wanted the opening to be.

    Speeding,

    So it's not really a clear road then...you're driving at 100mph when there are other cars around?

    Speeding,

    Surely motorways were designed before car drivers could even think about 100mph? And anyway, if it's not advertised how do you know about it? On the original question though, you say a clear motorway...does that mean completely clear or just a bit clear? If there's other traffic around I...
