We should all take every article with a huge pinch of salt....it was only a month or so ago that media were reporting that more men in China were dying of Corona-virus because so many of the male population smoke there. The issue is no-one really knows much about what works, or doesn't work, with this virus.


Also there is a lot of noise about flights still coming in but only about 10% of flights are still running, most are desolate, many are carrying nothing but cargo (they are covering the seats with netting to load cargo instead of passengers) and some are re-repatriation flights (we saw a plane heading over East Dulwich towards Heathrow a week or so ago which was, I think, Trident Airlines - not an airline anyone would have heard of before it had been chartered to bring people back from Florida).


One thing to say about Trump is that his nightly press conferences, which have become must-watch in our house, are pure comedy gold; it's by far the most entertaining thing on TV (just a shame the subject matter is so serious)...last night's entry to which The Standard's article refers should have been entitled When Science and a Deluded Narcissist Collide.

Unfortunately the more secrecy the more people will believe in conspiracy theories.


We're slamming China for initial secrecy but then suddenly our government goes quiet - I can see why that makes suspicious people wonder.

    • Actually I don't think so. What caused the problem was the ban on councils using the revenues from sales to build more houses. Had councils been able to reinvest in more housing then we would have had a boom in building. And councils would have been relieved, through the sales, of the cost of maintaining old housing stock. Thatcher believed that council tenants didn't vote Conservative, and home owners did. Which may have been, at the time a correct assumption. But it was the ban on councils building more from the sales revenues which was the real killer here. Not the sales themselves. 
    • I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof. 
    • Hey, I am on the first floor and I am directly impacted if roof leaks. We got a roofing company to do repair work which was supposed to be guaranteed. However, when it started leaking again, we were informed that the guarantee is just for a new roof and not repair work. Each time the company that did the repair work came out again over the next few years, we had to pay additional amounts. The roof continues to leak, so I have just organised another company to fix the roof instead, as the guarantee doesn't mean anything.
