    My Perfect Xmas Gift

    Part of me thinks you should be PM, however the other part of me thinks you would be too good in the role. The country would end up being too efficient, effective, prosperous and successful. This would be a step too far for the average UK citizen as we're generally used to things not being so...

    New build layout, is this typical?

    I drove around a local new build estate a few weeks back and the word that came to mind was claustrophobic. Houses crammed in, not really what you'd call full scale roads, more like extra wide monoblock driveways. This links to a comment I made earlier re how 'progress' doesn't always equate...

    New build layout, is this typical?

    Isn't it funny how 'progress' doesn't always mean 'better' depending on the criteria.

    New build layout, is this typical?

    I used to live in an ex council semi, built 30s I think. Solid walls throughout. Like your place, it was great at isolating sound from room to room.

    New build layout, is this typical?

    My place (bungalow) was built mid 80s, it's fine but is only stud partition internal walls so you tend to hear things no matter where you are in the property.

    New build layout, is this typical?

    I'm bored so perusing some of the new builds online around my area. 4 bed detached house, ground floor layout as below: If I'm looking at this correctly, the WC is essentially in the kitchen/diner, albeit with its door in a sort of recessed area. Is this fairly typical? I wouldn't have...

    Is FTTP (Fiber to the premises) really the future?

    I would hazard a guess, if all the installs around the UK were assessed, quite a few would not meet best practice in one way or another.

    Is FTTP (Fiber to the premises) really the future?

    I remember it well cause in my last house they made a half ar5ed attempt to hide it where it ran along my front garden into the house. It's still the cable I have in my current house.

    Trump

    I'm always slightly cautious when we're told something is being done for the benefit of the masses. e.g. in this country, we're told net zero objectives if achieved will result in lower energy costs for all. I'll believe that when I see it. If what's about to happen in Venezuela (Trump is...

    £13k for a single day’s work?

    I'm maybe exaggerating how easy it is to actually do this, however something that's very frustrating for victims is when the report says something like 'Victims of We Build It are unlikely to see any reimbursement as the company was wound up earlier this year by Mr Shafter.' Then sometimes, to...
