I live 2 flats over. Was on the verge of sleep when a racket of banging on the street level door started. Thought it was some unruly yoofs, but it persisted. I uttered something like - "I'm not getting out of bed unless there's a fire" and then the trucks arrived. Quickly put on trousers and ventured out into the bitter cold. Was sheepish when the fireman wondered why I didn't answer the door.


Thankfully, the woman was unhurt, but there must be a lot of damage. Apparently it was an electrical fire (portable heater?) which originally started with an easy chair. I didn't know anyone was living there - looks very unkept.

It's my understanding that William Rose has been trying to buy her place ever since they opened and even offering to keep a flat above for her, but she won't budge..

If the biggest problem I had was people offering to buy my house every now and then, I reckon I'd be doing pretty well.

Maybe she's different from you, and values her home more than speculating on making a load of dosh. Who knows. Hope she's ok anyhow.

What the hell are you talking about popey? When did I say that I value "speculating on making a load of dosh" over my home?


I was just saying that it's not a big deal, nothing to get too pissed off about. I don't see how it's any worse than getting calls from call centres trying to sell you stuff, or people knocking on your door pestering you... it happens. The old dear doesn't have to sell if she doesn't want to, nobody can force her. Personally I couldn't give a stuff what she - or anybody else - does with their property.


Don't read between the lines and judge me. Prat.

ok Jeremy pop your address up on this thread and let people come round at all hours of the day and night patronize you, assume you are an idiot and make an attempt to purchase your property for a ludicrously low sum every 10 days or so and see who is the prat and see where the similarity with call centre cold calls is.

Maybe William Rose are upping the anti and trying to smoke her out - those organic types don't take no for an answer.

I wonder whether a bigger William Rose would mean more meat/more queues or less queues/less waiting around outside but more waiting around inside instead.

Would it mean more room inside and the more people that can fit inside the more people that can call themselves regulars, which is handy come christmas. Everyone wins, bar the old lady.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
