Thanks to Billy at Hunter Heating Solutions.

Trouble is he's so good that he's in demand. He squeezed me in as I've known him for years. Try his brother Scott on 07983 704069.

More like poor quality, knackered and would be practically unsellable without being badly painted.


Vintage is another one - ageing, not good enough quality to rank as an antique but still fairly attractive in certain contexts. (Just realised this may mean I'm vintage - hurrah!)

"Retro/vintage" shops that sell tat that has been thrown out because it's well worn and past it's sell by date, at hugely inlflated prices. Many such shops have opened in Crystal Palace during the past 2 years.

Thus proving that there is a market for such items.

    • Dishing the dirt is generally fine when it comes to politicians and in Farage's case he often deserves it but  nothing illegal  has been done. It is not illegal for him to give his partner a sizeable amount of money with which to buy a house and have it registered in her name. He is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger and so he most likely is making plans to minimise IHT. There is a sliding scale for IHT but basically a gift is free of IHT if the gift is made 7 years before the donor dies. Farage is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger. In 7 years time, if he lives that long, he will be 71 years old. Given that he smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish, his odds on getting beyond 71  years may be pretty slim.  A similar  process is followed by the "bank of mum and dad"  where parents  give money to their kids to fund purchase of a property. Many who are not cash rich will mortgage their home and so release equity to fund their kids property. We did it as have many of our friends.
