  1. Week 9 points... Week 9 table...
  2. A lot will depend what your original lease stated and also what you signed up to when the Freehold was taken over. It's normally a requirement in leases to seek permission from the Freeholder for changes to layout etc, which I presume you didn't as you haven't mentioned you did, but there might indeed be a time limit when this can be retrospectively enforced, similar to Planning Permission. Or, the lease might not state you need the Freeholder's permission, in which case there wouldn't appear to be a case to answer for. Either way, best to get proper legal advice from a property law specialist so you can reply to the Freehold company formally in writing...
  3. The Gov has dug itself into a hole over this, exacerbated with it's bigging-up of the whole Freedom Day nonsense (twice). Asking people to wear masks etc isn't a loss of freedom, just as the compulsory wearing of a seat belt isn't. Agree that people should be applying their own common sense, but one thing that has struck me during all is how behest the British public are to Gov and rules. The vast majority went along with the restrictions and precautions when they were told to do so, but since precautions were lifted the opposite has happened, and I've heard people say that they're not wearing a mask because the Gov hasn't asked them to. Lots of whining over the years about the Nanny State, but basically it seems people want someone to wipe their backside for them...
  4. Week 9 fixtures... Friday 22nd October Arsenal v Aston Villa Saturday 23rd October Chelsea v Norwich City Crystal Palace v Newcastle United Everton v Watford Leeds United v Wolverhampton Wanderers Southampton v Burnley Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester City Sunday 24th October Brentford v Leicester City West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur Manchester United v Liverpool
  5. The BMA describing the Gov as ''wilfully negligent'' is damning, since restrictions were lifted I've found it strange that the Gov hasn't at least advised people to keep taking precautions such as wearing a mask in crowded places or indoor spaces outside your own home, even if it's not a legal requirement anymore. Why the reluctance? It's almost as if they are actively pursuing their initial strategy of herd immunity...
  6. If it was a scam, what's the purpose, to gain someone's ID? There are far easer ways to do that...
  7. Week 8 points... Week 8 table...
  8. With a skip, if you load it up while the lorry waits, you don't need a permit, I presume the same applies for the Hippo bags, so as you're not getting rid of a lot of waste, could you load it up while the the lorry waits?...
  9. Am I missing something, but does the bag need to be winched in if it's empty when delivered?...
  10. Week 8 fixtures... Saturday 16th October Watford v Liverpool Aston Villa v Wolverhampton Wanderers Leicester City v Manchester United Manchester City v Burnley Norwich City v Brighton & Hove Albion Southampton v Leeds United Brentford v Chelsea Sunday 17th October Everton v West Ham United Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur Monday 18th October Arsenal v Crystal Palace
  11. You only have to look across the Atlantic to see a 'massive case of collective denial' i.e. Trump, so it's very likely already happening here with Johnson. I guess it's a product of the social media age we live in, the populists are gaming it better than the rest...
  12. With comments like that you can see why the Gov won't have an independent inquiry. I see when it suits, i.e. when someone else would be in the firing line e.g. the Sarah Everard case, they have no qualms about triggering an inquiry pronto...
  13. Fixtures now updated for weeks 8-10...
  14. What Seph said, despite the vaccine our R rate is still around 1. Common sense should tell a tradesperson that at some point they will encounter someone who would prefer them to wear a mask, so keeping one to hand for such an eventuality would be the sensible thing to do...
  15. If people are precautionary thinking of the possibility of going 'off grid' at some point this winter, this is a simple light/heat source hack, lots of variations out there...

Kettles use up a huge amount of electricity; Layering is good, several thin layers work better than one thick layer; Quicker showers make a big difference, Thames Water hand out a 3 minute egg timer you can stick on the shower wall. > Heating will be on but low to stop the issues with the house (damp etc). I've read that having the house at a regular temperature > is better than having blasts of central heating for shorter periods - although happy if anyone has a view. Regular temp is indeed much better, that's the job of the thermostat, if your radiators have individual thermostats, turn them down a bit in the less occupied rooms...
  18. The blame game worked for Brexit, so if it ain't broke...Johnson's speech stays on course, full of tubthumping rhetoric minus actual policy. However, I do feel that once things start affecting Joe Public, like the fuel shortage has, then you will see more reaction. Winter of Discontent 2.0 looming...
  19. BBC now reporting on it with info and implications for the consumer... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58815665
  20. I think Cat is referring to wholesale price, which will eventually filter down to the consumer...
  21. You should be ok leaving internal rooms unheated, but any room with an external wall would benefit from some heating, albeit at a lower temp than the main living spaces, otherwise you could be inviting damp/mould...
