Sue, it's still good!

Great even. Relatively speaking, given the crap on offer!!


Woofpuppy is just one opinion.

Of course, as is my opinion.

So that's at least 50/50 ;)

For me the arse fell out of it when Lip left, along with Kev and Veronica. It seemed that the writers tried to disassosiate the show from what was one of it's key crowd pleasers, living up to the reputation of how the taxpayer percieves dole cheats and the consequences that come with the lifestyle such as resorting to scams to make ends meet and visits from social services.


Now there's too much sympathy for the characters that was over explored in Karen and Jaime's rocky marriage and the other, more entertaining characters were sidelined. Basically, I want to see Frank fall down a flight of stairs whilst drunk and hurt himself badly, or end up sleeping with a dog, which was often the sort of thing that made my ribs ache into the next day.


From series six onwards I haven't made much of an effort to catch any episodes, where as before I'd often structure my evening around them.

    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
