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"Corona Virus patients more likely to die may have treatment withdrawn EVEN IF THEY ARE IMPROVING"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

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op... Via insta @piehouse.coop there is a video (see screenshots here) THANK YOU.
