HER mum has mentioned the digital change over "AGAIN" (3x a week for months now) ...... I got the, "I'm not too concerned about it" ........... "But blah blah blah blah blah blah-de freakin' Blah"........ So I went out & bought the old hag at 19" LG widescreen idtv .......... £150 + change...

I think we should all begin buying up a bit of farming land, then start building that home on it ....... Why not ? The Gypsies are still at it, another site created in Somerset ... There was also a piece on an old 'illegal' camp -- still being used and a right dump !! years after the council...

Slightly OT but I read that some councils are buying back ex-council houses, demolishing them and rebuilding with a greater quantity of houses squeezed onto the same piece of land. No doubt properties with smaller rooms and gardens. I was brought up in a council house and also lived in another...

Well there you have the myth, but can i ask you a question Scoby---------------Why do you have a thing about what a person should spend his money on or spend the money he borrowed on??? If any body sniped at the fact that you had bought a Landrover or a Merc, or the fact that you had bought a...

Well from a technical point of view it's not overly complicated, but I'm assuming you have some deeper insight? No, as an investment it needs an overall value greater than the money added in. Otherwise it's just transferring money around without creating anything. Invest in a business, they can...

I think you'll find his amateur post was meant to read like this: Basically as has already been mentioned, it is worth what you are prepared to pay and the only way to open the negotiation is for you to approach your neighbour with a figure if he does not readily offer one to you. It is...

I wouldn't say that Freddie, i'd just tell 'em to f**k off ! :wink:

Hello, we've received a letter outlining a breach of condition regarding planning that was taken out 2 years prior to us buying the property. In a nutshell: Before we bought the house, the owner obtained planning permission to build a dwelling on the land belonging to his existing property...

Government fiscal policy is not 'economics' driven. It is politically driven. I will not bother with the rest of your garbled rant because it is so full of holes I would be here all day pulling it to pieces. e.g."The Germans work hard, and don't buy things on credit. The French believe they can...

Just been watching the first in a new series of a tenants/landlords from hell tv prog. Okay, I know these sort of progs are produced in such a way as to get viewers worked up, nevertheless the core content is a true reflection of what the tenants and landlords are going through. One thing that...

Well, I suppose it is a lesson to us all that buying a piece of land is no guarantee as to planning permission. Which is a shame for us lot as I am pretty sure most people on here have dreamed of building their own house to their own design and specification. But as was said, if you let one...

Hi europlex, that's an interesting point. Metal you say? Well that's odd because a quick google showed me a pile of cheap plastic junk bearing the same name but obviously you like them, so much that you have even named yourself in their honour and I'm sure cowboys all up and down the land love...

After a lot of hunting to replace some broken spindles (kids!!!) we have now found out that our stairs are an Irish design (Archill) - God knows where our builder got this from (house is 14 years old) and we are getting extortionate prices to get replacements (one place wanted £315 delivery from...

Hi All. A question from a Newbie, if I may! I want to replace our landing carpet with cork tiles. The house is about 15 years old and the existing floor is made of 8' x 4' T&G chipboard "?Weyroc?" sheets. We've recently had an extension built and want to continue the floor through...

I checked that site, and saw lots of 'Artists impressions', of things on the moon? But NO actual evidence. Can you clarify? If a telescope can show closeups of Mars, why is there no so much evidence of landing on the moon? If the missions to the moon were made on the side we see, and...

thanks for the speedy replies folks. Top tip with the 2.25 meters, I had a look at the zones diagram the regulations, but I hadn't noticed the 2.25m hieght. I've got 2.4meters but I am planning to put in an L shapped bath, which will mean that the old shower pull switch is actually over...

1/4in (6mm) thick? I wouldn't even use that on a child's bed. You can get special structural plywood slats which are 6 to 10mm thick, but they depend on particular grades of veneer and glues not normally available to DIYers. Probsblyveasier just to buy in from someone like Hafele. Have you ever...

What can you do with the PC without it freezing up? You can use the web browser and access the internet (like this forum) presumably? The recommended books will help you learn about a PC, but I doubt if they will help you fix the freezing problem. A lot of people format/reinstall their...

It sounds like you are certain that a portion of that land has been in posession of the owners of your new property for over 30 years (I think the limit is 12 years, but that needs checking) and it is clearly fenced as such, at least in parts, with an old corrugated iron fence? As you have just...
