I really doubt it. If he wanted to help people, he'd put some free advice out there for cooking/shopping on a budget. Not bring out a bloody book. It's a really cynical move IMO. Besides, he's a very rich man who obviously knows nothing about feeding a family on a tight budget, so the whole thing is pretty much irrelevant.

And not to mention he's a better drummer than him out of Blur, who might want to concentrate on plane flying and trying to bunk along with that Labour party rather than the pop music racket.


NB Please note the 'not to mention' above, I should be mortified if Dave Rowntree were ever to lose a percussion appointment because of anything I might have opined.

I have nothing but admiration and cavities for his family's 'fruit' gums and pastilles. They're as lush as that other Britpop group, oh, what are they called, yes! Sleeper.


Though, who am I to offer an opinion indeed perhaps even judgement concerning drummers when Ginger Baker is still alive?

As long as God's dead Ginge'll let us know on the matter.

And of course, Jamie the cook, Alex the cheese maven??? What?

It's not a big stretch to get Graham baking bread. No, it isn't I don't care what anyone says.

Put all of the above together, and there's a Welsh Rarebit to be proud of.


So the rhythm section and the guitarist put it before the singer and await his verdict.


Damon bites, chews, swallows then breaks into a grin.


"That's fantastic, inspiring, you've given me the way forward, yes, yes I'll reform GRILLERS"!

    • I would ask a solicitor. You may be able to claim compensation. You can speak to Lease free for 15 minutes ( very worthwhile), and a no win no fee Sol.
    • I am no expert by any means, but I wonder first if Foxtons belong to any kind of professional (I use the term loosely) body you could complain to, and second, if you have any grounds to take them to the small claims court. I am surprised and sorry that none of the people you have asked for help could actually help. To be fair, though, re the oven, they have offered to reimburse you for an air fryer, it is the weekend so probably difficult to get someone out to look at it,  and they seem to be addressing that problem at least pretty promptly? Do you have a grill and hob and kettle working OK? Also, is it not the owner's responsibility to address issues such as the mould and the bath?  Shouldn't Foxtons be liaising with them about this?  Oh, and this is not intended to be a joke - try asking ChatGPT (or similar) what you can do. It saves hours of googling  stuff online yourself.
    • Agreed! I have been happy with them for the last 20 years.
    • Hi,   I'm posting here because I am completely at a loss for how to deal with this anymore.   Is this standard for dealing with a letting agency? I'm new to living in the UK and I've been treated abhorrently by this agency from day one.  I've reached out to every organisation I can - the council, Shelter, trying to get to the property ombudsman, and the citizens advice bureau. My oven broke last night (Friday) and their solution until someone arrives (Monday) to even inspect the problem, is to buy an air fryer.    This is part of a long list of issues, including my bathtub joist that's rotted out and has broke so my bathtub is now falling into the floor, and has been that way waiting for repair for the last month. Our flat is extremely cold in the winter (due to failing the EPC) and the rising damp throughout the flat has not been addressed even though we've been reporting it consistently for the past year. All they do is send someone to install a dehumidifier for a week. Every time I need assistance from these people I have to wait on hold each step of the way, my property manager is out of office or they're on another line or I can't speak to them, if I begin an issue with one person at the organisation I get redirected to a new person (and that initial person is now unavailable), or they wait a week to call me back. It is truly unbelievable the amount of stuff I've had to live with under Foxtons. They wouldn't allow me to move into our property on the first day stated in the lease I signed (after I paid depot and first month) because they didn't do the work to make the property pass the EPC which they had multiple weeks to address. During those multiple weeks I would call them everyday asking for status updates. When the move in day arrived all they could say to me was 'we can't help you'. They didn't even do any work to resolve it in the long run, they just got a new inspector to give the flat a pass. This company has made my life hell for the past year and unfortunately I am stuck in the lease for now due to their shady letting agent practices.   If anyone can please provide me some tangible assistance that would be greatly appreciated. Reaching out to any of these agencies has not brought me any closer to a resolution and my partner and I are beyond our wits end dealing with property issues. I thought a letting agency was held to a higher standard than a private landlord and was supposed to make life easier for a tenant but it appears to be exactly the opposite.   I've attached some mold images so you can see what my flat looks like if I don't run a dehumidifier 24/7.
