You should know, since it was you who posted the pic as an anti-Labour local election stunt in one of your many banned incarnations on the forum. /forum/read.php?20,2261423,2264533#msg-2264533 And to think you've offered to help with the running of the new forum...:)

A standard AST usually has clauses which state that the landlord has to maintain and if required repair the property to habitable standards, by not doing so they would be in breach of the contract, not you, so you could leave without costs to yourselves. Anyway, the key to all this is finding a decent landlord, have you heard of Grainger PLC? They have a huge portfolio nationally with plenty of properties in this area. They are so big they even have a specialist repair company that tenants contact directly, so no issues with a missing or disinterested landlord. I'm sure there might be some downsides e.g. at the pricier end of the scale, but if you're looking for some certainty and peace of mind after your unhappy experiences they might be worth contacting. Google 'Grainger east dulwich rentals' and you should get plenty of info...

I can understand a landlord wanting a long-term tenancy, I would've thought it was in a tenant's interest too. If prices are going up as you say on a weekly basis, wouldn't it be in your interest to sign up to a long-term contract and thus nullify future increases? Like the housing market in general, it's a basic supply and demand problem, more people looking than properties available. I can't see the problem being resolved for quite some time, certainly not under the current Gov. Asking for money up front (over and above the normal deposit) is taking the mick though. You don't elaborate as to the extent of the damp and structural issues, but I would imagine neither is an easy fix with tenants in-situ. Such remedial works can be noisy, dusty, extremely inconvenient e.g. lifting up of carpets, floorboards etc, and depending what the structural issue is, even dangerous. These sort of repairs are best done when the property is vacant...

Tongue in cheek or not, Cat's right about the march towards narcissism, except I think many are already there, they even voted in a narcissist-in-chief in the States I don't mind teenagers doing it, probably all part of growing up/finding your identity etc, as a kid it was normal once in a while to pop down to a passport photo booth with a mate(s)/girlfriend for some 'pulling faces' snaps, but it was a stage that you eventually grew out of. Have noticed that disposable cameras with film have become trendy with teenagers, also modern takes on Polaroids, so maybe all is not lost...

It's normally a sign a thread has reached it's natural conclusion. It was a niche POV to begin with, there's only so much that can be said about whether or not more shops should've put up some bunting, best let it die here of natural causes...

I see our resident #TeamBoris has had his 3 Shredded Wheat again. How dare those journalists report the truth about our blessed leader! Sting 'em up along with those treacherous Tory MPs who expressed their democratic right in a vote!...

At least give it a chance hammerman. Think of all the fun you and Nige will have listening to it while chasing migrants around Dover...

One thing I'd like to see if the monarchy does indeed have a reduced role in the future, is a national anthem that reflects the country and people as a whole, instead of the dirge to one person and those of a religious persuasion. By all means keep the current one for Royal events, but give the rest of us a more optimistic hands in the air like you just don't care choon!...

Maybe the local shops did their research. The ED demographic is made up of a lot of young professionals, it might come as a surprise to older generations, but they're not that interested in the Royal Family. They're not raging Republicans with guillotines in hand, but do think it's an anachronism, an odd, archaic institution in modern day Britain. At the moment the Queen is the glue that holds it all together. When she eventually passes, as well as countries like Australia officially declaring themselves as a Republic, I suspect we'll also see a much reduced monarchy in the UK public eye, becoming less important over time and less reliant on the public purse, more akin to the Scandinavian model. A very British compromise that will keep the Royalists and Republicans happy...

Weed them out? He'd better hire a JCB then. Nothing like a good old-fashioned Stalinist purge to sort out a problem, that'll show 'em!...

I expect Johnson will win the vote, but as to whether it counts as a 'win' will depend on how many vote against him there are. I would've thought any number above the parliamentary majority of around 80 will cause problems. Once you get into 100+ then it's just a question of how long it drags on for. May managed 6 months but didn't have an investigation by the Privilege's Committee and two very losable by-elections to contend with...

But when it comes to Brexit, its nothing to do with terrible government...its just 'brexit is bad'..... The Brexit deal we ended up with has everything to do with this Gov, they negotiated it. The two are inextricably linked. Some people, myself included, feel that any form of Brexit would've been 'bad' with respect to staying in the EU, but there were degrees of 'badmess'. For instance a more competent Gov would've Brexited while still remaining in the SM and CU, thus minimizing the economic damage...

What happened to the 'let's wait 10 years before we judge Brexit' plan? :) Yet, here we are, almost a year and a half after the transition period ended and Cat's citing one graph because he thinks it suits his agenda. I note the graph and article makes no reference that the Gov has still to apply full post-Brexit import checks, something the EU did immediately, so hardly a level playing field in that respect. It's something that the UK Gov will have to do eventually, especially if it wants to be seen to be 'taking back control', despite the adverse effect that will have on imports and graphs like that one. One important thing the article does cite though is that the OBR's original long-term forecast (15 years) that this particular Brexit deal will hit GDP by 4%, remains unchanged despite these figures. Perhaps the OBR didn't conveniently forgot about the Gov's delay on checks...
