I wouldn't recommend the Sash Guy. We had one window redone with double glazed sashes and had to get him back 3 times to refit it, either because he had left gaps that were so big I could push my finger outside, or it was too tight to open. I wasn't impressed with the sashes that were incredibly soft and fresh wood and I don't expect it to last. The window was primed before we received it, but he hadn't knotted any of the knots, so those are already showing through the painted window (Dulux weathershield). The glazing is poor and you can see plenty of dust inside the double glazed units. The muntin isn't fixed to the window (it is a single pane per sash, not two) and is already warping and coming away from the glass. He used excessive amounts of caulking, some of which were spread around the window and some furniture and it took a lot of work to get the the windows in a state where I could finish painting them. I definitely wouldn't use him again.

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
