Just been watching Location Location in ED, Peckham Rye etc and it reminded me of the horrors of buying our current place...


The psycho vendor (let's call him Jason, that was his name afterall) told us shortly before exchange (and on the same day as my wedding dress fitting, the bastard) that he was taking all the antique doorknobs with him because they had 'sentimental value' for him (aka asset stripping). He very kindly left some B&Q basics brass door handles for us to fit at our leisure when we moved in. Sounds like a small thing, but under wedding stress that was tantamount to spitting in my face.


I've been carrying that for over three years now, perhaps sharing the forum will exorcise the ghost of Jason??

Girls react badly to skinny welsh landlords Matt....

That is nothing compare to my colleague, when he looked around there was wooden flooring throughout the downstairs but the day he moved in it was suddenly laminate! They also discovered a bed sgaped paint line where the previous owner couldn't be bothered to move the bed when he painted a room.


I still refer to the lady we bought our flat off as evil [insert name] for all the lies and crap she put us through. I think home buying is rarely trouble free.

We moved into one house to find not only bare wires where previously there had been light fittings but also holes in the garden where previously there had been roses and other shrubs.


Then, three years later, when we had to sell up to find somewhere we could share with elderly parents [here in ED] we received a letter from the previous owner accusing us of quote "making an excessive profit" on their much loved family home.

My Horrid Mother...



She bought a house from an Archiect, oh & how she crowed about it's loveliness ...



Well until the day she moved in that was, he'd stripped the place bare; handles, towel rails, thermostatic rad valves



He even took the flex from the light fittings...



She was a bit "miffed" to say the least...



( I was " surprisingly "overjoyed & if I ever feel down, that still makes me smile :)) )

Hardly a "cur" no....


W**F senior ( god rest his soul ) was a scholarship boy at Lancing college & won a queens award for industry by the age of 42.


Mummy dearest, was just plain ol' "horrid" I'm afraid



I do though forgive your ignorance, how were you to know ( other than assumption )



Lastly, how is the EX wife...?

What's going on with this use of the word "bitch" ? Post-feminism ? I think not. Please stop. It is offensive.

find the word used casually really offensive.


PGC has succinctly explained the position in her post.


Offensive or not the correct terminology for the female species of dog is the word "bitch" and if you don't like it, take it up with the producers of the Oxford English dictionary.


I think you have a brass neck to come here with the affrontary, the gaul, the audacity, the irony of a foreign national telling me how I should phrase my native language in my own country, to coin a phrase of another erudite lady forumista "how very dare you".


American Robin stop your bitching, if you do not like what is posted, stop reading it, you surely do not expect to change everyone to adhere to your inaccurate rules of prose.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
