Hello, i need to have a quick winge because no-one at my office talks so i will explode if i don't get my annouyance out. We got the keys to our new flat on friday and discovered the only toilet was broken. Everytime we'd been to look round the water had been partially turned off so we'd never tested it (which I know I should have done). We had to have a plumber round on moving day and luckily he explained how we could use it by lots of faffing round with the cistern and stuff and he's put in a new part for us yesterday but now we need another new part (not his fault he's a great plumber). The plumber says in his opinion there's no way the previous owners did't know it was broken, which they deny. It's the principle of the thing that annoys me, if they'd just let us know at least we could have arranged for a plumber in advance etc. We were also left with various bits of crap around the flat including a tube of prescription thrush cream and a mushroom (possibly, can't be sure) that had been in the fridge for at least 5 months as the flat was empty for that long!

I feel better now, thanks

You're right Jeremy.


Bob that is craziness. My mates previous owner took up all the wood flooring and didn't tell them he was going to! They're are some real weirdos/cheap skates out there.


House moving alsways has been and always will be a funny business.

Steady on Sophie, I believe there's a phrase for this sort of error.

Leave 'em they ain't worth it.

When I moved into my place a couple of years ago the sellers had left a huge pencil sketch of a woman?s arse drawn on the landing wall. We saw it when we looked around but thought they would have painted over it before we moved in.


We had the floor boards up to move a radiator and found a blank DVD. When played it was clown porn?we bleached everything.

Did the vendor answer to the name 'Banksy'?

I was most suprised when I sold my first house to get a message from the new owners via the estate agent that they were so pleased with how I had left the house. I think the fact I didn't take down towel rails / toilet roll holders / curtain rails etc leaving holes in the wll, didn't pinch the light bulbs and the place was nice and clean when I left was considered to be unusually nice. Somehow I imagined anyone would be ashamed to leave it any different. Guess I can be kind of naive at times. Fortunally both times I've bought I've managed to buy from someone who thinks like me!

    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
    • Was it the two proxy votes that had swung it for Cllr McAsh in the first round? Interesting that he lost by two votes in the second. One wonders what the next move for Cllr McAsh is and whether the infighting will continue between the various factions within Southwark Labour?
    • Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was?  I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document.  It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation.  I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself.  I'm  attaching my notes on it.     re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt
