Would be inclined to suggest the latter... music and art make us human. Money and finance are just things we use... tokens and tools..

I find that really annoying, Salsa. I chase them off by spraying them with water from am old washing-up liquid bottle. Slightly concerned what the neighbours may think though as my range is about one and a half gardens.

Squirrels are one of the rare group of 'fermenters' regarding food


It's why the bury nuts/acorns

The only likely environment for a confrontation would be shallow African rivers. So we're probably talking about a bull shark. The bull shark is a fierce creature, can grow over 3m long, regularly dines on other sharks, and has been known to attack hippos. The lion's only hope would be to drag the shark onto the shore, which is a long shot. I'm going for the shark.

    • 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.
