  1. I've used Martin Kemp on Abbeydale Road for years and found them totally professional and non pushy. Maybe not as cheap as the heavily advertised national companies, but like anything you usually get what you pay for.
  2. I've used Byte Computers in the past and been well satisfied with both service and price. (No connection with or financial interest in this company) https://www.byteitltd.co.uk/
  3. 'Pled' for 'Pleaded' and 'Transportation' for 'Transport'🥺
  4. Has anybody noticed that virtually nobody on the telly says 'going to' any more? It seems standard to downgrade this to 'gonna' or 'gunna'!
  5. For years and years, 'harassment' was pronounced with the accent on the first part, so 'harassment'. Now it's almost universally gone to 'harassment. Frank Spencer started this as a joke, but it caught on and seems irreversible. Drives me wild!
  6. Good luck to you pal. I don't need anything at the moment, but as we all know good plumbers offering a decent service at a fair price are like gold dust these days so I'll copy your number for future reference.
  7. None of us is whiter than white, but one silly mistake on one day, probably influenced by alcohol, will have blown his whole professional and possibly personal life forever. We don't know whether this was an isolated incident or one of many but doesn't this show how disastrous this kind of behaviour can be for somebody who should have known better because of his position. Sad and unnecessary for both him and his family (assuming he has one) and the lady concerned.
  8. Yes, this seems legitimate to me, with no commercial element, so can't we help this lady? It seems a bit mean not to.
  9. Yes, very sad for all those people who have lost their jobs and all that goes with this. Hopefully another carrier will take some on, although with consumer spending being under increasing pressure and affecting the holiday market vacancies may be restricted.
  10. I'm right behind you Tipstaff, you don't need to feel guilty in my opinion. I'm on the opposite side to you in that I'm now on my own, but I am very careful not to be needy and hang onto the coat tails of friends who have been, and still are, generous enough to support me in my hour of need as they say. There is nothing more guaranteed to lose friends than for you to make them to feel guilty about your predicament. When you find yourself on your own for whatever reason , you have to reach out for new frontiers as well as those enjoyed in the past. Sometimes it's not easy, but if you try hard enough you can recover from the dip many of us find ourselves in due to events.
  11. I always thought of her as Yvonne Claptrap - she always got so many things wrong :-)
  12. I wasn't aware there was a problem with soap. I bought a multi bar block of Dove soap from Tesco Abbeydale Road recently, no problem. Maybe I was lucky!
  13. I wouldn't be too bashful abut this problem which happens to many of us at some time to a greater or lesser degree. Like nurses, most of these people will have seen it all before and will take it in their stride. It might be worth giving them a verbal run down of the problem before you agree a visit though so they are aware of what to expect.
  14. This sounds like a case for Jeffrey Shaw, our resident legal eagle, but given that you are up to date with your payment I would say you have nothing to fear. The letter is probably a scatter gun 'round robin' to all their leaseholders hoping that any defaulters will make good their arrears and maintain what for the freeholder is probably quite a poor return on their investment. I would email them and tell them that to date you have both paid what is due under the lease and it is your intention to do so in the future. Given that, I can't see any judge finding against you. I had a leasehold house and to my shame got behind 10 years in my payments, the result being that when I moved I just had to pay off the arrears of about £150. I have no knowledge of and can't speak for Fee Simple Estates, but sometimes these ground rents are sold in a batch to remote investors who can try to impose high charges for their grant of consent for alterations, extensions etc to compensate for the relatively small ground rents they receive.
