Thought this might be of interest to the forum, my friend has made this great iPhone application to show you when Fruit and Veg is in season (rather than imported) - also helps to find farmers markets.


The app is currently featured in the app store, but thought it would be relevant to the foody types around here :)

Good idea...I believe we import far too many fruits/vegetables unnecessarily. The cost to the environment is high. E.g. farmers in Egypt buy seed potatoes from Scotland, which are then grown on in the Egyptian desert using copious amounts of precious water drilled from under the Egyptian desert and fertilizers imported from Ireland. The final product is packed and then shipped to the UK. Ridiculous when we have the perfect climate for growing (and storing) potatoes here.

      Good estate agent for unusual properties??

      By marctt · Posted

      Suggest, speak to: 1. The Modern House - we successfully used them as have friends. 2. Agents in areas that have larger amounts of former industrial building conversions who steer buyers looking for type of property v location.

      Real Estate Agent Advice

      By francesca88 · Posted

      Thank you for the feedback! Helps to see we're not alone. The only good experience we had was Modern House. Anyone tried Strike/Purple Bricks/Yopa? How did it go? Anything to be mindful of?

      Best experience we had was with Modern House. The rest of the agents around the area are appalling.... They just want their commission and not interested in getting a good deal. You'd be lucky if they pick up the phone...

      Plumbing Recommendation - Trelco Plumbing

      By Brian up the hill · Posted

      I’d like to echo the positive comments about Trelco. I discovered that the stopcock on the rising main was leaking and was damaging the flooring in the utility room. Not having seen this thread, or any reviews for that matter,  I picked Trelco  as it was the nearest to me. It was a gamble but goodness it paid off. James was responsive and clear in what he offered. His colleague Andy replaced the offending stopcock and put in a lever valve to allow me to shut off the water easily when I go away. He did a great job, neat and tidy, he was cheerful, friendly and professional. All this within a day of contacting them. Although not an emergency it needed resolution quickly. The price charged was very reasonable indeed, especially considering the quality of the service. I am so pleased to have found such an excellent plumber.
