The guy who offered on ours. He offered less than the asking price before his house was even on the market and he badgered us and the estate agent to take ours off the market so no one else could offer on it. We kept ours on the market and had another offer at the same price but waited for the original guy to give him a chance as he was so super-keen. Our house is an older Victorian house with an untanked Victorian cellar, that is occasionally a bit wet on the slate floor, but has never flooded in the 30 years of living there and there is no damp damage. It has guarantees and wood treated recently. He viewed our flat 5 times and was told on each occasion the cellar was not tanked. He eventually had an offer and we accepted his. He pushed for an early completion, so we arranged to stay with friends. After the survey he wanted extra off the original offer price because the cellar was not tanked After Brexit he pulled out of the offer 1 month before his proposed moving in date.

Good article which I agree with entirely, but difficult for many leave voters to swallow as they would have to admit to having the wool pulled over their eyes.

Complain to PALs on both fronts A&E and DMC anyway. - Kings A&E can write a script for antibiotics as can your GP, both could have given you antibiotics to cover you in case it was cellulitis while you waited for results. Meanwhile go straight back to an Emergency A&E ASAP, if they won't see you today go to Kings and sit it out and don't leave without a treatment or a diagnosis.

Uncle glen. Do you think their suffering will be less or more now. I suspect more. The point that Matthew Parris was making is the Leave Camp - Boris, Gove et al, were quite happy to use racist slurs to further their cause. If you think that this wasn't disgusting, then I wonder....

Great article by Matthew Parris - I agree with him entirely. The leave campaign definitely used the racist and xenophobic argument and are now trying to distance themselves from it. They are disgusting.

Thanks Seabag a really good post. I have a love/hate relationship with London, it can be a hard place to live at times, but I love the general tolerance of others that I haven't witnessed anywhere else. We were planning to move near Ludlow and lead a different life, this is still a long term plan, but we have both decided to stay in London a bit longer now. The leave vote has almost made it ok for people to express there underlying racist and xenophobic views. My friend who is Portuguese/Brazilian works in a famous hospital near Cambridge and since the leave vote he has been told to 'go back home' by staff and patients. He has phoned his contacts in Australia and is leaving in December, when he does the hospital will either have to pay for an expensive agency specialist or cancel his list of 30 patients undergoing treatment a week.

Well I think Farage is scum, but he won't care what any of us think of him as he is still an MEP - he hasn't resigned from that...and as he is paid in Euros, his salary has now increased when converted to sterling. He was one of the laziest MEPs anyway and his attendance and actual voting was appalling.

Maybe to make the exercise a bit cheaper you could dig up the speed humps on East Dulwich Grove - that don't actually slow the traffic, but just cause more noise as skip lorrys and vans speed over them.....and move them to Melbourne Grove instead - they are welcome to them.

Thanks Jah, I'm a fan of Mr. flame proof moth, song about pencils v. good. It's ok boys, women are actually part of the human race too.... And just as fallible, amazing, incompetent, intelligent, dumb, hardworking, lazy etc. etc. as the men.

I'm really sad about JC, I've always admired him and I do believe he hasn't got a dishonest bone in his body. It hasn't worked for many reasons, some due to the lack of support from Labour MPs and some due to a lack of his leadership skills. I'm hoping he has changed the party for the better and he has encouraged lots of young people to become involved. I'm really happy about Angela standing, I think she is great, she certainly told it like it is to George Osbourne in Parliment a few times.

Gove, Boris and May then - all three worry me.

What, the smell of weed, the pork pie or the flag....

It's nearly 4 M now - how funny it was started by an out campaigner when they thought remain were winning. I've signed and most of my remain (UK voters) friends have now voted and one who voted out and regrets his vote. It is also funny how the out voters who 'won' are now getting flouncy about people like me having my democratic right to sign a petition and voice my opinion.

Working Mummy - I was born before 1970. My Mum is 77 and voted remain too. Plenty of people in Boston Lincs under 35 voted out - see we do need to be a bit careful about generalisations. But yes unfortunately out vote more likely in the older generation who were also more likely to vote and remain vote more likely in the younger who unfortunately were less likely to vote.

Foxy doesn't understand how Brussels and the EU works - once we had a powerful voice and a powerful veto vote in the EU that helped protect the UK from any trade deals that were not in the UKs best interest - if our UK negotiators were poor, then the deal was poor, not because the EU was 'bad' but because the UK representatives made a poor decision.... With no voice and no veto, decisions about how we can sell or buy from the EU will not be under our control. But to be fair to Foxy, just over 50% of the voting public in this EU referendum also didn't understand. Some now do and have changed their mind about voting out. I'm not sure Foxy really believes that today the UK is a better place to live and work for British citizens, Spanish nurses, German Doctors, children of migrant workers, Polish pensioners who flew British planes in WW2, people coming up to their retirement who have a private pension based on stocks and shares etc. etc. than it was last Sunday and probably much worse.

This reported rise in hateful behaviour is extremely worrying. I spent my youth campaigning with anti-racist organisations and I am really concerned. There was a Tory MP on a special Question Time on Sunday, I'm not sure of her name, but she was speaking for remain - she said that she had been too quiet on the subject of race and immigration during her tenure as an MP so far, but from now on she would promote the benefits of immigration and different cultures for the UK. She was quite tearful and as a leftie listening to a Tory I was heartened by her comments. If the racists are on the rise, then all of us anti-racists need to challenge and act.

Yea I know Blah blah, it is of course poor taste, but let's face it - anyone who brought up that awful murder as a 'decent' argument about why we shouldn't be 'whinging' is highly unlikely to listen to any alternatives to their own beliefs with an open mind.

Yes good point - set a precedent for ignoring a popular vote

That's ok Keano, taste is a very personal thing. I suppose I should have said that I found it distasteful, but you are completely within your rights to not think bringing up Jo's murder was in poor taste.

Although I am excited about my new found freedom in a new and dynamic Britain...cool! When does the fun start?

What a mess!

In very poor taste Keano, very poor taste, but I support your democratic right to say it.

I hoping that etta is right and people get involved in politics and push for reform. There are issues with PR, but at least everyone has a vote that does count.

I'll 'whinge' as much as I want to thanks and apart from Trump and Le Pen..... Who is in awe of the stupid out vote based on lies.
