Yes, Sean. Of course, property professionals are happy enough to endorse the "property as investment" ideal in a rising market. Now everyone is conditioned to think they must only buy a house if it will also double as their pension scheme, it's going to be hard to convince people that they are, after all, only buying a home to live in.

We need to get out of this property fetish viewpoint


how many other purchases in your lifetime will actually appreciate over inflation ?


not many.Not your car , not your dishwasher, not your M&S suit.


We ned to think of property as a home that we can afford and enjoy, rather than part of some some investment strategy and maybe get things in perspective....

A cautionary tale: I bought a flat just before the last recession. Shortly afterwards I ended up with an alarming amount of negative equity and my home ended up being repossessed and sold for peanuts at auction.


I think Keef you should wait at least until the end of the year, I don't think the housing market is anywhere near the bottom yet.

Well, at least that settles *Bob* and AlanDale's long running debate on whether an Oxford education really does guarantee a bright future.

I have been offered Doctorate from "Harvord" university by email. No work at all involved. get credits for life experience.


one of the doctorates they offer is in Aeronautical engineering.


thats worrying




maybe a university of East Dulwich couild be a little money spinner ?


Bellendden College ?


Melbourne Grove University


Polytechnic of North Cross road ?


Mamora State University ?


the possibilities are endless

ouch

annaj -


Some of us actually want to go to the best university in the country to LEARN - not just to get a job (if I was that way inclined I would have done business studies or media at the University of Nowehere.


One thing that can never be taken away from people who have gone to these institutions - being taught by the best, in a historic city, and being surrounded by intelligent and forward thinking people.


It reminds me of the idiots I sometimes meet who say 'you studied philosophy, what are you doing this job for?'. Unless you have been there you won't understand.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
