Malicious evil???? come now. apart from being delicious (seriously, I couldnae speak in his presence) the brains, integrity and moral fibre have surely got to count for something? (the oleaginous Blair would just slide right off)

Tricky job in this current climate, not sure hes the man but I dont know who else would be. Untill the current bad odour from usa is passed its tough, impossible even to fully concentrate on what we need in this country, I personally think. Brown? good luck to him but no chance really. Im sure he as a lot of ideas of what hed like to do. Who knows when the next call from washington will be for support. He cant say no can he? All sorts of financial pressure to kow tow. plus he lurves Thatcho and of course she was big on 'special relationship'. I couldnt stand the sight of Brown at first , had that look of someone trying to pull the wool over your eyes, waffle self confidently as if he knows what the answers are. However, when i found out that

he had facial surgery from an accident and a broken eye, I realised that really contributes to some of the expressions he pulls. Some of the ones that make you think "twot". That aint fair so, give him a chance I guess. Im aware that 'pulling out troops' is soon followed by ..sending some more out. thats the pressure.

She was determined to go to war no matter what, and attempts by the Americans to head it off by diplomacy were brushed aside. Still it won the next election for her...

Blair, Major, Thatcher, Heath even. They all enjoyed being PM. I just don't think his hearts in it. He looks very unsure of himself and comes across as completely unconvincing, to me. Just read Private Eye and his (GB's) brother is head of media relations at EDF (the French energy firm) who look like they are going to be building all these new Nuclear power stations no one wants. Have I missed something?

      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.
