> Demand-led pricing..... It's the high prices at times of high demand that allows companies to sell things cheaper when demand is lower - Amazon, Uber, airlines - all the same. It may not seem fair at times like this but we benefit from it at other times.



True and always good to understand supply and demand (price control generally a dirty word). On a separate matter the mark up for hotel rooms at Bilbao for Euro 2020 was phenomenal. I'll get great pleasure in cancelling my overpriced tiny AirBnB room for three. Got to snatch some glimmers of light from this situation. Like all markets where there is under-supply things can change or someone can come in with an innovative product (Japanese toilets or bidets?) and you are left with warehouses full of a valueless commodity.

I didn't think that it would be worth having an adult conversation with you about patriotism, nationalism and the like. But I have found you a friend. For those interested it refers to Liz Truss and the televised cabinet meeting.


Nah nah nah nah nah.

Just saw on Sky News


"Corona Virus patients more likely to die may have treatment withdrawn EVEN IF THEY ARE IMPROVING"


I always thought a strong indicator was a persons strong motivation to live, as well as age and clinical diagnosis.


It's what struck me years ago on Intensive Care and High Dependency wards (major op) - I was trying to get well every moment I was there but some seemed to have given up.

Just been watching the Last Leg. Shocked that David Mitchell has dared criticise the prominence of the union flags in Number 10 press briefings. He dared to compare this to America, and even stated that flags should be flown in the air.


Just ignore my post, it is purely self-indulgent, self congratulatory toss.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
