We tried that route last year, expecting something like a 20% loss on our base price, the offer went down and down until the final offer was 45% of the listed price. We couldn't afford that loss. We tried National Home Buyers who did seem to be the most helpful. Interestingly they actually...

I'd firstly remove the plasterboard to the ceiling above where you have already. That should visually tell you what or how the floor above is supported.

The 3rd world originally had a high birth rate as they expected a high number of childhood deaths - then medical science got involved and kept more children alive. What medical science didn't do was teach the 3rd world contraception. There is also the idea that a big family makes the parents...

I'm no electrician (although an Electrical Engineer, supposedly). If I found that in a house I'd be really unhappy. B-i-L who is an electrician did make some less than positive comments about it. If the washer plumbed into that area leaked those sockets really could be floating...!

Before you filled the cracks could you see through the cracks? even just light? The panels have been made from 2 pieces of timber butt jointed. I suspect the panels have been glued into slots in the door to stop rattles. Resolving the cracks is, IMHO, a September job after ax extended period...

The population crisis is that there is TOO MANY people in the country and on the planet.

Sorry this is a bit recent - but it's an ear worm that just won't go away... & I'm not normally a Country fan. but to compensate - how about

Thanks a seriously religious pint!

Sounds like you have a 'the car in front' - it drive me nuts in Sicily forever fighting the steering. Eventually found the button to disable the feature, mind you the worst bit about the car was the 'BONG' as you drive past a speed sign and screen in the middle of the dashboard brightly...

2 paint scrapers for the princely sum of 4 quid!

reading your comments about less SE work and reducing the number of your vehicles to one I'd say this is the one to go for..

How about writing to Greg Jackson at Octopus. Explain your problem including the steps you have taken up to this point and see what he can do.

I did similar, after 2 carp apprenticeships my third gave me a career. Took me 35 years to get a professional registration, not a particularly high one, but even so I had to work for it. But I was never out of work from the age of 14 - petrol pump jockey; 1s 6d per hour (earned more as tips -...

It's not that long ago the UK was the 4th largest economy. Today the indigenous population is seen by the present government as a revenue stream to be taxed to the lowest common denominator.

Cable is by far so much better. Just be kind to your neighbours and use cable. FYI 2.4GHz wifi only has 3 clear channels out of 11 or 13. The more WiFi you use the more your neighbours will want to use more repeaters, extenders just work normally. Then you will need more to compensate for their...

I get my travel insurance through a specialist company, provided I pass the sport diving medical* I'm completely covered at a lower cost than through a general travel insurance company. * I have (late onset) Asthma and once had high Cholesterol - when you have a blood test it's always a...

I do think someone in power needs to think about they encourage employers to get school leavers into their business (workforce). High starting salaries is a disincentive to employ along with high NI costs and, sadly private pension figures. My first apprenticeship (C&J) wage was around 35% of...

Because he has finally realised (I hope) that he made mistakes and he doesn't want Liebour to make even worse ones now. IMHO I could never make my mind up who led the worst and most damaging government the UK had - Wilson, Blair, May, Bojo - but today I think it could be Starmer and his crew.

And who is putting that figure up and up?

Snipped a bit and highlighted London cause it just ain't London with the problems. Ignoring the popular belief that Landlords are in it for themselves with high rents etc which in my experience is not always true (yes there are some that do profiteer but there are many more that don't). With...
