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...

Wrong. Completely Wrong! my natural instinct is Green but certainly not the greens in their present form who are anything but green IMO. The biggest problem facing the country is over(human)population, it's time that is recognised by TPTB.

Oh well... IMO the present Labour leader is probably the least damaging person in No10, I don't think any one else in the Labour party who can keep the rabble out of completely wrecking the country (completing what Blair started, the break up of the UK with the devolved parliments; the lax or...

Check the bearings on the driven wheels. Any looseness will affect the whole of drive chain and how the machine runs even as a push mower. That is probably a major strip down.

After I had my Let property back from the tenants who were on a 'Registered Tenancy' - that's pre-AST's I used a letting agency for some years. That agency was initially owned by an UK based who had become a UK national American lady, they were very good, did the necessary checks on finance...

Was going to say - S, D, R&R But I still like sex, my drug of choice is still the effect of Nitrogen under pressure (& a sensible quantity of alcohol) and I've never stopped liking Rock 'n' Roll so I don't think I'm avoiding anything just participating with forethought.

In 2006 I did that when I bought my first new car in years. The sales girl sat in her managers office counting out the cash and then throwing the pile of £20 notes in the air so it 'rained' down on her. I think that amount of cash in her hands went to her head (and possibly somewhere else...)!

It's surprising just how many projects the EU funds overseas - Pontoon Bridge in Curacao, Banana growers in St Lucia, (Or)fish industry in Guadeloupe as examples.

Chalet deposit - we had that on a trip to Looe in the 1980's, think it was something like £100 refundable after a month, had to be cash not on a credit card. That was going to take most of our spending money then one of the girls did some 'smoozing' of the owner and reduced that 100 quid down to...

This works for me. Save regularly into a Cash ISA - say a £200 per month. Once that has built up into a tidy amount transfer 50 to 75% into a S&S ISA. Continue paying into the Cash ISA and repeat regarding transferring into a Stock & Shares ISA. The repeat is probably 3 or 4 year intervals...

Or their managers are seeing that they can get an even bigger cut. Went to The Brook in Southampton they other week - first band I've seen live in years. Use to go to Leicester SU just about weekly, affordable and usually a reasonable band (e.g. Split Endz, SB&Q, Toya, Stiff tours). Can't...

In many ways a hero of mine! He made it to Antartica unlike me.

OK. You start at one end of the fence. With a spirit level determine which is the outside of the fence stating point (i.e. is the fence post upright or if an adjacent wall or fence is upright). If you are using gavel boards sit your first board on the gavel board, then ensure the first board is...

A pleasure. By fixing as I described above it stops the boards from splitting with the movement in wood with the weather.

At least twice the thickness of the board - with your 22mm I'd be looking at 50 or possibly 60mm long (if 50mm aren't available). You only need one nail per rail in each board (that's 3 nails per board with 3 rails). With a 25mm overlap you nail 32mm from the thick edge so the nail only goes...

What type of hinges are fitted? That can make a lot of difference to the most suitable answer.

That's the way I'd go. 22 or 28 mm pipe through the landing and bathroom floor.

Not so much the BR's as your building insurance. If it collapsed and affected the neighbours who would pay?
