Hi Snowboarder. That was weird because my neighbour told me yesterday that he'd just been snowboarding and then he said he wanted to go along and see the eco-houses. My neighbour said it was the first time he had done snowboarding and that he loved it! I might have to try it one day.

Hi Nero


I think it will be after the last TV shoot has been done (which is tomorrow) and one house has been fully completed.


They were aiming to have one house completed by tomorrow. The TV company came around my house today looking for people to talk on camera tomorrow. I'm busy tomorrow but I'm sure some other residents will be around to give their views.


My guess is that after tomorrow is over, Talisman will post again about a good time to view. I'm looking forward to finding out about all the environmental side - it should be very interesting!

Hi Forumers - thanks for your patience, we are burning lots of midnight oil this week in a bid to getting close to presenting a finished house for the final TV shoot Weds/Thurs/Fri. "Tour" probably early to mid May when we have all had 48 hours of consecutive sleep and can talk coherently again. Bear with us. Helpful if someone could pls keep a track of numbers in case we need to arrange 2 smaller groups - think there were around 15/16 "tourists" last time I tried to count? We are pretty flexible so will be in touch with date/s asap - logging on getting difficult now as furniture is being packed up ready for imminent move. Am looking forward to living in Landells Road and being active ED Forumer. Regards: Talisman

Another latecomer!


Please, please can I come too? If there is still room? (I am a rabid Grand Designs Watcher by the way, especially now it's on the other cable channels. I must confess that I also have my moments of shouting things at the telly along the lines of 'more money than sense!!' and 'are they mad!? - but also 'WOW! Look at that!!')

there's no ceiling on the number of people we can show around - the more the merrier really, we'll just split the group into two smaller ones if we get too many for one tour. That way there will also be a couple of date options which might be useful.

Regards: Talisman

Hello there Talisman


My wife and I live on Landells Road and have been following the development of your eco-homes with interest. Like a lot of folk, we're big Grand Design fans, and we'd love to have a guided tour when the dust settles!


Best of luck with the development and the filming!


Cheers.

Shocker-ama, EDNerd is abroad (practising talking about herself in the 3rd person), so alas, to Kev's bitter disappointment, no doubt, will not be there to welcome him in her own special way.


PS I hope I make the cut for the final programme and that my banal comments do not lead Kev to shun me.

Hi Forum-ers, big week looming for Talisman, hope you have all booked your armchairs for 9pm on Weds. We are heading towards d-day with anxious trepidation now. Pass the big cushions! We have quickly put a website together with lots of details about the Landells Road houses, if you are interested you can visit it at www.ecoism.co.uk. Will get back to you asap re a date to show you around, we are still working on the second house so still v busy but nearly on to the final leg - the access alley and, of course, replacing the infamous blue gates. Rgds, Talisman

My congrats also - very impressive buildings. Liked the programme so much I even watch the "Trade Secrets" on More Four afterwards and the "experts" on the panel there really liked it too.


One question, why did they have an aversion to saying where the houses actually were? Was always just referred to as "South London".

Can't believe I missed all this - only joined forum yesterday, read this thread this morning and missed the show last night!!!

Does any one know when the cable channel repeats the show?

Talisman - do you know if there will be a repeat in the near future?

      T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD

      By red5 · Posted

      I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect
