I got a quote from Safestyle a month or so back, just so I could get a ballpark comparison. The salesman came out with (wait for it)... £33k, then said if I consented to 'marketing photos' he'd knock it down to £18k. Then he actually phoned his boss (i.e. the intern) at which point I couldn't...

Check the sealant round the window first. An easy fix if that's the problem. When I had similar in the old house a 2mm gap in the sealant let in three bucketfuls of water during a single rainstorm.

Patch them up. Mine has a 4mm crack top to bottom because the extension settled. I had a local structural engineer put it in writing that it's historic so I'll be grouting it up and painting it in the spring. My insurance company already does me up the chute for premiums so I'm not giving them...

The house I just bought had cracking I wanted to be sure wasn't a big deal. Not this type, but settlement of an extension built in an ill-advised manner. As RICS surveys tell you precisely nothing and structural surveys cost £2k or more (and don't get me started on the Ts&Cs), I found a local...

Either the entire wall needs sealing, repointing, rendering or you've got a poltergeist. Not sure which would be preferable.

So what's that?

Neither I, nor anybody reading your posts, gives a solitary shrivelled thrice-desiccated f ** k about the use of ellipsis in quotes.

Do you have any idea how pathetic you sound?

Don't know, but wouldn't be surprised. A bit like on any large free speech march you'll get a small group of goons strutting around doing Nazi salutes and it's clear to everyone with a brain that they're old bill.

Any other meaningless lefty buzzwords you can come up with or are you done for the day?

If that's the case, maybe shut up?

Don't pretend you have anything but hate for Britain. And the fact you're unable to address any of my arguments - noted, and entirely predictable.

I don't know about you, but given the choice between having a baby starve to death and keeping it in my pants, I'd choose the latter. Yours truly, An Uncaring Westerner

It's odd how adult men and woman are willfully bringing babies into a world when they know at the very least they will endure severe suffering, more likely injury, starvation and death, yet apparently it's us in the West who are uncaring. They look upon children in terms of utility - males will...

Why have Gazan women (and men, obviously) been conceiving children at a rate of 180 per day since Oct 7 when they know the babies will be birthed into war, starvation, suffering and death?
