This made me laugh. Yet again Lou your comedy Victor Meldrew style internet persona has hit all the right notes.

That would be 'sheer', not 'shear'. Different word, different meaning. Take a look at Gowers or similar.

I'm not one to uphold a grudge against those who may split their infinitives. But...

or so-and-so

Not the same as 'so and so'.

Perhaps it is your 'wont', but for most others that'll be a 'won't', which is a contraction of 'will not'.

I think you'll find that 'I' includes 'personally'.

registration plates?

So you were quoting someone there?


Dear Louisa, how about learning how to use the English language before letting yourself run riot, breaking all the rules.

lousiana, maybe if I were a upstanding pillar of the community like yourself I would be able to master the English language slightly better, but taking my post apart based on the spelling and/or meaning of my words is just snobbish and arrogant, as well you know. Oh well that is just another example of how I clearly wind you up as going a million miles off the topic is something you seem to be able to master far better than any other poster on here. Anyway, better luck next time in trying to wind me up, I think you had better get back to that dictionary before something called 'getting a life' comes and stares you in the face.

:))


Louisa.

BBW: yes, I do from time to time cycle, though my current steed is covered in a thick layer of dust, which perhaps indicates how frequently I cycle. I have most recently been hiking (Wye Valley) rather than cycling.


Louisa: I don't own a dictionary. Dictionaries are for people who entertain doubts concerning spelling.

See that Louisa, "These boots are made for walking and that's just what they'll do and if you don't check your grammar one day these boots are gonna walk all over you".

Geez lousiana, think that's fairly harsh to break down someone's post and analyse to an inch of it's life. Does anyone really care? I mean, it's obviously got right up your nose but Louisa was having a rant so misuse of words probably wasn't at the forefront of her mind. Geez as I type this I'm feeling rather paranoid that I screw up but I've always been a bit rebellious so ............skjhakdissufdsjfjccn ;-)

But Louisa, if you feel it's your right to honk your horn and express your feelings then you can't argue that the cyclist can't express his anger back. I'm sure if he had a big **** off horn, he would honk back instead of banging yor window but if you put it out there, generally you will get it back.

I definitely don't agree with that comment. Dictionaries are great. Expanding vocabulary and playing a home-made version of Call My Bluff are two things they are good for. Also useful for finding the origin of words. Useful to most people with a passing interest in language.


Anyway, as you were.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!

      Selective licensing for rentals extended

      By malumbu · Posted

      Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
