Irish festival! It?s always been dreadful, all the worst things from Ireland. Why can?t we have a Scottish festival? This is blatant racism disguised as pseudo culture. What have the Irish given us? Potatoes, Guinness and terror, Catholicism, Paisley. Look at Scotland by comparison; TV, golf, haggis, great music from the likes of Shooglenifty & Pipe dreams, the Panama canal, the telephone & Celticism and last but not least caber tossing. Scotland the brave any day.
If 52k is right, that's a staggering waste of cash for a rather ropey festival. If the 'offer' is good enough, you work hard for sponsorship, charge stallholders and get good volunteers on board, you can do a pretty good festival with a modest subsidy or with no subsidy at all. I bet the Peckham Rye Garden f?te the Friends run in September gets by on very little.

How did Bell steal the telephone from the Italians?? Bell was in a race with Edison and hadn?t anything other than an idea for the telephone and he got to the patent office first.


The only good thing I remember about the Irish festival is how much it peed off Peter & Frances when they ran the Clockhouse. He admitted to me that he hated the Irish but they spent a lot of money that weekend so he was stuck between a rock & a hard place.

Well said....And I'm Irish (and couldn't stand Frances)

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time

    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
