  1. Huddersfield are at home to Brum next Saturday so a draw or even a Huddersfield win could be good for the Owls, especially given that both have difficult fictures on the last day - Brum at home to Norwich and Huddersfield at Ipswich.
  2. Was taking that into account - 20 plus years background in social housing.
  3. Or the Chair of Housing. https://democracy.sheffield.gov.uk/mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=11546
  4. Hope you don't live in Crete because you shouldn't get ballot papers for any local elections if you do.
  5. Given the poor quality of the Star reporting it could be owt. Whatever it is at top side of £200k per property - even if half is for communal facilities etc, it 's still way over the odds as far as I can see,
  6. Only thing I can think of why it could be so extortionately expensive is that Daresbury and Berners used to be the site of the old East Bank Road care home, and if it is a replacement for that it will also include communal facitlities, staff rooms./ offices storage for eg cleaners, maybe a canteen - still seems to be be well expensive though.

  8. So it appears inspections are carried out once every 5 years as report is dated Jan 2024. From the link above; "Rating at last inspection The last rating for this service was good, (published 31 October 2018)." Going back 15 years or so to when I worked for a housing association that managed care homes, pretty sure inspections were annual. Also they used to inspect the whole service - the latest inspection only looked at 2 aspects and overall rating seems to rely quite a bit on the 2018 inspection. Again from the link above; "We undertook a focused inspection to review the key questions of safe and well-led only. For those key questions not inspected, we used the ratings awarded at the last inspection to calculate the overall rating. Given a good rating by CQC should mean a decent service, but would visit pretty regularly myself if a family member was placed there.
  9. Just another angle on last nights attack rather than a new one as far as I can see - they're saying the drone attacks may have been carried out by Israeli agents in Iran. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-strike-iran-news-isfahan-latest-b2531290.html
  10. You should be safe enough under your bridge.
  11. And because the comparison should be between the PM and civil servants eg a good dozen of civil servants working for Network Rail and on HS2 are on over £300k, top one £650k. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/senior-officials-high-earners-salaries
  12. Leeds used to - well a version called "Elland Road baht 'at".
  13. Yep -, they're seizing land from residents and nomadic Bedouins who have used the land as far back as anyone can remember. Ethnic cleansing is a phrase which comes to mind.
  14. Er no - what don't you understand about "Don't fancy the 600ft climb uphill from the nearest shop".
  15. In that well known footy ground safety publication - the Mail 😎
