Well, the mortgage is paid off **wait for appropriate cheers to die away** and it is time to overcommit financially again. And stuff, quite a bit of stuff, has piled up. Requiring, yes, more space. The thought of moving house terrifies me. So what about a loft conversion?


Can't say that skulking about on the estate has identified many houses put through that process; one, which overlooks the amenity land between ginnel and railway line, up in the seventies on Abbotswood Road; perhaps folks choose instead to move away, to "trade up". But between stamp duty and inconvenience... maybe adding a bedroom and an en-suite is the way to go.


Anyone applied and failed (overlooking neighbours' gardens as opposed to "amenity land" -- a euphemism for "waste ground")? Anyone considering the same palaver? Grateful for thoughts / recommendations.

    • But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.
    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
