Labour found it easy to criticise whilst in opposition. Finding it hard now to manage in office. 6 months on and the growth promised by Reeves is going negative :)

Reform's top team are all established successful businessmen. Our current government and main opposition are mainly career politicians. Seems a logical alternative ;)

Logic suggests that as the number of monthly prizes reduce, investors will cash out their bonds, thus reducing the number of bonds in the pot. This then reduces the impact on my investment if I keep my bonds intact. ;)

All depends whether your mindset is buying an investment or buying a home. I paid well over the odds for my current house as it was to be my final move. That was 20yrs ago and the only people who show an interest in the current value, are my adult kids!!!

Both sides are probably seeking to establish land boundaries ready for Trump's solution(?).

Hmmmm..... Leyland, Armstead, Johnstone's, Macpheron, Sandtex365..... and more pilolite !!! A quandry :unsure::unsure: EDIT - Weather Tex do not have magnolia in their colour catalogue :(

Interest rate has been reduced for Jan 2025 resulting in less winners :(

I'm having solar panels fitted January so using same scaffold to paint my exterior walls. Hence the query regarding painting in low temps.

There comes a point when a tree becomes unmanageable. When we moved in 20yrs ago it was a young tree but like all things, they grow and grow. Over the years I have had it trimmed to manage the canopy, but the main trunk continues on. You will see from the pic that it is leaning. Whilst the...

Pliolite paint is not breathable as it is oil based. I'm painting my exterior walls in winter which have been previously painted with Sandtex masonry paint (10 yrs ago) My house has no damp problems so should I be concerned that the new paint is not breathable? Cheers All.

I've now had 2 arborists come out and offer advice. The canopy is all generated from upper branches and there is no growth from mid height. The upper branches are all hanging low, which means that there is little scope of reducing height without losing the canopy. Pollarding to reduce height...

Highland Cathedral is a stunning piece by the massed pipe bands.

I have asked a tree surgeon to pop round over the w/e to consider pollarding. The canopy is quite high up so am concerned that reducing height by about 6 feet and its width may result in a lot of just bare branches. Whats not obvious from the image is that the leaf bearing branches all sprout...

As this net zero policy is going to introduce additional tax on boilers, and probably ban them all together one day. Would it be prudent to buy a new boiler now and keep it boxed and await the total failure of my 10yr old Worcester Bosch boiler?

Storm Bert has now made me nervous of the tree stability. It has always been leaning towards the house, but yesterday I could see it moving quite considerably. If I decide to remove it, would the value of the wood pay for its felling by professionals? Has eucalyptus have any value? Is it a...

Hi All I am considering installing solar panels, but my south facing roof is partially shaded by my eucalyptus tree, particularly during winter when the sun is low. Is the tree the type suitable for cropping or at least reducing its height slightly? The wife hates the tree and would be happy for...

Private multi storey carparks are already using technology which prevents me from using their car parks. I have to remove my roof box :)

Recently fitted a £65 budget tyre to a Ford Galaxy. Only local miles driven so no need for expensive performance tyres.

I did a bus tour of the Normandy D-Day beaches and local cemeteries a couple of years ago. A bit pricey, but the knowledge of the tour guide who told us some of the emotional stories behind the names of the headstones, was well worth it.
