I would guess 60 sq. metres

I,and, I suspect, many others,am fed up with seeding or turfing bare bits of lawn each Spring(usually unsuccessfully) and all the mowing and fiddling around with moss etc.during the year. Has anyone out there any experience with artificial grass??

Whilst I obviously cannot match the massive intellect and social conscience of JoeLeg, I have racked my feeble brain to try to understand why the pay of Cineworld staff, or indeed that of Sainsbury's. William Rose or any other business, should be of the slightest interest to me,or,for that matter to him or any of the other incensed individuals on this forum. Perhaps he/she could elucidate in words of very few syllables so that, in my ignorance, I can try to understand? I shall do my best but he must understand that it may well all be beyond me.

Pathetic. Are we supposed to go into every business in lordship Lane and ask them what they are paying their staff?? Get a Life. None of our business.

What happened to Soppy Cameron's proposal that anyone carrying a knife would automatically go down for five years? Presumably the bleeding hearts killed it off~~all society's fault, vulnerable young men blah blah.

Detailed review in today's Sunday Telegraph by Keith Miller.. Liked the restaurant (7/10) but thought that Lordship Lane "retains the rumpled dignity of old newsreel footage",and "gentrification is well advanced (it's well supplied with smallish, handsome and only moderately exorbitant Victorian terrace houses; its train station zips into the City"). Bonne Bouffe " not particularly expensive" at dinner for two ?100! Thought EDF " a Paradiso of unintentional comedy.etc.." Fame indeed.

Anyway, none of our business.

We renovated a house a few years ago and had a water softener system installed by Fountain Softeners. I think about ?700 but well worth it. Refilling with block salt a few times a year no problem and very cheap. We forgot however to leave one kitchen tap on mains supply so now have to use bottled stuff for drinking as soft water does not taste very nice.

The unelected House of Lords is a silly old anachronism that has little real power. Whilst it could still play silly games with Brexit ultimately it has to answer to the Commons which has a number of sanctions, even the ultimate one. My main gripe about Brussels, apart from open door mass migration, the crazed euro project, "ever close integration" and the enormous cost to the UK taxpayer, is that decisions are made by an unelected arrogant elite which cannot be held to account by anyone. As to wholesale corruption, The Big Boss Juncker presided for more than 20 years over Luxembourg, whose sole industry is tax avoidance, and denies even knowing anything about it. Say no more.

Sorry but you miss my point totally. Brussels is hugely undemocratic, expensive and massively corrupt. The euro is just a German racket. The whole rotten edifice is tottering.

It just seems extraordinary to me, a mere ignorant uneducated Leaver, that you are all exercising your democratic rights to protest to try to overturn a democratic decision by the British electorate to rid ourselves of a hugely undemocratic Brussels Juggernaut. Ironic,eh?

Don't believe all this. "LEAVE" is a simple word of only one syllable which surely even the dimmest amongst us must comprehend. Which part of it do you not understand?

I notice that that cheeky little elf, Yvette Cooper, is taking part in this daft exercise. I wonder if she has yet taken in the family of refugees she promised to care for a year ago??

Smack on the wrist for him.

Why call the scum "lads". You make it sound like a childish prank.

Has the Wretched Merkel finally won??

Even if they catch the scum it'll just be a slap on the wrist. Bleeding hearts still running the asylum.

100% if they have any sense. Back to a devalued lira and Happy days again.

Bravissimo.

"They look so innocent"???!!! Terrify and traumatise innocent people.Wait until they injure or kill someone? Dangerous scumbags. Why are there so many bleeding hearts and soppy apologists for common criminals?

So they caught two of them. Both back on the streets within 2 years. That'll really scare others. Pathetically soft sentences.

Foreign aid ?1BN per month, thrown amongst others to China and India. Madness. Not only are we now borrowing to pay the interest on the National Debt we are even borrowing to give unbounded largesse to others, much of which is to corrupt regimes. Road to bankruptcy and ruin. God help our children as the politicians won't.

Absolutely typical of stupid, ignorant politicians and the Law of Unintended Consequences. Just like the present crazed levels of Stamp Duty which have slowed the sales market so much. Would you rather move for more space and give ?50,000 plus to the daft Government to waste, or extend into the attic? No brainer.

Pleased to be of help Delainie. Let's just finish off these ratbags together. Four tea spoons better than one!

Our little Leftie friend should really keep up at the back. The last Labour Government (probably THE last! hoho) extended the pernicious Yooman Rights legislation to include illegal activities. M'learned friends assure me that scratches and damage caused during such activities must be fully compensated by householders at a minimum rate of ?50 per inch for brambles (more if trained to attack) with higher payments for broken glass wounds brought about, for example, by window panes frustrating entry(these should ideally always be left open to avoid such incidents ). Household pets must be restrained~one individual was royally compensated having been savaged by a hamster. Householders are however allowed to defend themselves with a tea spoon but only with reasonable force, and should always offer intruders suitable non alcoholic light refreshments. Police should not be involved if the individual appears to be vulnerable in any way. The last vestige of protection for occupants disappears if the burglar is a paid up member of NUNO, National Union of Night Operatives, allied to that much loved tribe of Luddite relics, RMT. If one of them breaks and enters you have no chance. Best to kill him and hide the body in the recycling bin.
