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 :)) )

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 never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
