TBH, I think locking it up makes it worse because they have a little private area. Even if the police visited more often there are no shortage of places to hide. If it was well lit & people walked through it however…

It is back near Stapleton Hall, but not strong. This is the second huge leak with massive flooding I’ve seen in the last couple of years. I hope it’s just bad luck & not a symptom of underinvestment in replacing the major piping finally coming h…

I think it is ‘austerity’ and the cuts to council funding, for which the lib dems were absolutely critical for starting (& probably led to brexit). It’d be nice if the Labour counsellors said something, but TBH I’d prefer what little money they …

I think it probably depends exactly where you are. I found O2/Tesco to be rubbish and now have 3. Does anyone know which company that campaign years ago to stop a mast being erected on Crouch Hill was directed at? I’d avoid them as they obviously sa…

@N19lurkerN19 Agreed, being able to cycle to somewhere with poor public transport is much more useful. I don’t go Hackney much these days, but once it would have been great. I keep wanting to try one of the mobikes when I walk past them, but I just …

It sounds like a good idea, but you can’t go anywhere except Ealing. Also I can’t imagine London drivers being at all tolerant of a slow hard to control bike riden by someone new to it. They have enough trouble not doing Mr Toad impressions even if …

If I was homeless I’d definitely take drugs, and a lot of them. I’d want to escape from how bad life was. I’d hide them from hostel owners, but I don’t think being inept at hiding them should mean being punished by having to sleep rough. Dealers onl…

I used David Davies for buying my house. They almost messed up my buildings insurance by telling me there were no nearby trees; panicked phone calls on moving in and seeing a very obvious tree. When I rented my place out temporarily I paid extra for…

When I had my bike nicked years ago (from outside British library & covered by CC TV) police told me some of the local Kings Cross kids had a battery powered mini angle grinder that fitted in a rucksack. At least it is a bit more visually notice…

No recommendation for who, but zipcar have a van up Crouch Hill. It is big enough for most furniture & might be appropriate for a single item. You would just need to convince a mate to go with you to the south west. I always get caught in traff…

Thank you. That is exactly what I thought. & from some angles it looks too thick for a normal bag. I don't think I've even seen a Waitrose Bag-for-Life: are they good?

I don't think Tony Blair is being paid to do this, as that suggests someone somewhere thinks he might be a successful purchase. I don't think even he is that delusional. Hardly anyone trust politicians at all and even fewer from the general popula…

The aspect that seems missing from all the coverage is ridicule. I can't think of anything the attacker would dislike more that knowing he was being laughed at. He wants to feel proud of the terror and the seriousness of how he is treated. Realist…

In keeping with the times we must surely find a way to blame immigrants or Jeremy Corbyn.

I have literally never used that cyclepath, despite having cycled that way hundreds of times. The Highway Code only suggests using cyclepaths if they are safe. That cyclepath is not safe and has never been safe. In addition, the government als…

The management fee is about 4-5%. It gets taken off each month. They also charge a letting fee that is another 5-7%, so the total charge may be in your range, but that is for letting as well as management.
-
From memory it was 4 or 5%. Quite as lot given they do almost nothing. Only useful thing I can remember was getting the annual gas certificate. They make quite a lot of noise about the regular inspections, which they often don't do & when th…

ps. Fully Managed is a con. They do very little and contact you about everything anyway. Get a mate to help you.

Stay well clear of Martyn Gerrard. They were supposed to be fully manage my place while I went to work elsewhere. Amongst other things they lost *their* set of keys. ****

If you want a very good job, albeit not the most speedy: Kensuke Nishio ( kensuke75@me.com ) He did an awesome job with my roof terrace. Very busy though, partly as he's so hands on. I think he is sometimes at a workshop near Arsenal. I am pre…

Thought I ought to comment, as this is something I actually have experience of. I haven't seen mentioned (unless I missed it) the pool hidden behind MacDonalds on Archway roundabout. Also a 'Better' centre I went to it & found it to be tropi…
