Alternatively you could put a little Giant Redwood inside a bungalow

Oxygen is also needed ,also pitch pine is a “soft wood” but resists decay more than some “hard woods” due to its’ high resin content.

Some materials are tried ,tested and proven over many years. Venice is built on wooden piles which have petrified and lasted for centuries due to the absence of oxygen in the marshes. In other situations wood decays in a few years due to wet rot /dry rot or is subject to other risks such as woodworm or in some countries termites. Give me a traditional brick or stone construction anytime. Steel and concrete builds are also well tested ......apart from that aero bar type concrete which was introduced and now found to be less than satisfactory.

The more usual outcome in similar attacks is that they are on a suicide mission whether by their own hand or accepting they will be killed by guards /police/military.That they escaped at all I find surprising.

There’s more than that who don’t have a mind of their own and latch on to any conspiracy theory fed to them from dubious sources. Really amazing👋

It could be if you nominate a Labour P.M .worse than Johnson.

The one that went to Roundhay School 😃

I think that the Chechen Muslims,if they are responsible would be very aware of what they are playing with after many years of strife with Russia.

That would go on my alternative thread possibility of “ What programmes do you flick past ASAP” 😁

Me too and especially the restoration specials.

Plus the fact that annual attempted boat crossings which was called a national disaster when it concerned a few hundred is now measured in hundreds per month and heading for record numbers in 2024.

I should have proof read the title which makes little sense. Never mind😁

When flicking through the many channels what must you continue to watch when you find them by chance. For me I tend to stick with the Henry Cole programmes,”Shed and Buried “and “Find it Fix it Flog it”

I am sure that the British who populated the Empire and their offspring had similar leanings towards their ancestral origins.

That’s what the government is doing with the women’s money! Treat people fairly including the above,victims of contaminated blood transfusions,victims of the Post Office scandal etc. and then ask where the money is coming from to pursue vanity projects ,Rwanda plans and MOD spending on disastrous projects. UK governments primary aim should be to look after the U.K. population.

Good landlords with property to let at fair rentals. OK by me. Preponderance of holiday lets in attractive locations which are empty for 6 months of the year less justifiable as they do little for the communities and turn into ghost towns from October to April. Meanwhile the communities die because locals cannot compete. As a result local amenities suffer. Just my opinion

Cannot edit so it should have read “dying as a result”.

1)Quite a lot when it concerns property that is empty for much of the year and locals cannot live with the inflated property prices.Communities are dieing as a result. 2) Have you been through any of the Sheffield hospitals. For the first time in my relatively long life I spent 3 nights in the NGH and have attended the Hallamshire.I have now been seen and attended by Indians,Pakistanis,Irish,South African,Caribbean ,Polish and other Eastern European’s.Even some Englis and Scots All have been great and seem to have a decent work ethic.

What a miserable response by some posters to the WASPI. campaign. I think that they have been treated appallingly. Although I enjoyed my work ,like many others I got to the stage of counting the days to my retirement. Had the goal posts been shifted with little opportunity to invest accordingly then this would have been more than a disappointment. Add to that the fact that many women missed out on years of NI contributions due to a greater concern of raising a family. Good luck to their campaign but any success will be a fraction of what should be due.

It seems that the original post which inferred that there were too many people in the world to feed has morphed into the immigration of both legal and illegal people to Britain. Man made and natural disasters have always created famines and the best that can be done is for the richer countries to target aid better when needed. There is much waste of both food and aid around the globe .

Plan 1. Do all possible to keep Sunak as Conservative leader.

That the citing of an individual or a few people to typify a whole group should be taken with a pinch of salt. Other than that I agree with OG who is no dimwit l

Apart from you missing the point,I will add: We live in a country where migrants are treated like royalty😁

We live in a country where foul mouthed yobs go to football matches. We live in a country where people drink until paralytic and vomit and urinate in the streets. We live in a country where the need for drugs fuels crime. We live in a country where people eat to excess and finish up stones overweight We live in a country where people prefer to beg than work . And numerous other examples which fortunately do not represent the majority of people who live in this country.
