Reading with interest the views on here but here is something I read on another forum, I got permission from the author, It was a choice between 2 extremes; 2 nightmare scenarios and in the end, people decided that the Tories under Johnson was less of a nightmare than Labour under Corbyn.

I see the Times today has a headline that 'Osbourne sees house price boom to last 10 years', I think that's a little optimistic, or maybe panic mode is setting in? Mind you, the other day, local radio news, had a story that plastic surgery last year had increased 43%, obviously no data, fact etc, wi...

Decking has to be kept clean, even then slightest moss/algae growth on the stuff makes it really slippy when wet, also as E fan says, soon looks shabby, most I've seen does look poor in a relatively short space of time, then usually taken up.

Our local radio, on the news, has said the 'Halifax' has just said that property prices have risen at their fastest for the last 3 years, still wonder why the 'media' think it's news worthy to tell us this, funny thing is they never mention that oil prices are at their highest for 14 month, maybe ha...
