  1. selling assets to pay for day to day spending is madness. It's clearly an unsustainable strategy. Sooner or later they will have to cut services to fit their budget, better to do it sooner than sell off community assets.
  2. I have read that now the existing line is going to have to be upgraded to allow more trains instead. This will take 10 years with frequent rail replacement buses. The capacity has to be increased somehow.
  3. the original organisers sold it to a big company that does a lot of festivals. In interviews they made clear money was what swung it.
  4. Yep. BUT was not easy for an individual to kill 20 people just like that as happens in the USA. So letting any person have a gun is a stupid idea.
  5. Mine was Tom Hunt. But the only time I really needed help he ignored my emails Too busy building his career I suppose.
  6. I wouldn’t live there, but if flats were cheap enough an investment might be worth a punt given how much kelham prices went up.
  7. Has it? Murders in that area are nothing new. Quite a few shootings in Crookes/Walkley in the last 20 years. So I wouldn't worry unless the number per year has increased.
  8. is surveyor local? If not, they won't know anything about what was built in Walkley. When I sold mine I was warned by the estate agent about this and told to make sure the estate agent pushes back on any buyer who claims the attic had been converted. One thing you can check is whether on the same road all the terraced houses have an attic room. If they do, that's a sign they are all likely original. That's not true. The house I sold was a 2 bedroom house - bedroom 2 was in the attic and was original. On the middle floor there 3 rooms - a bedroom, a bathroom and a room that was too small to call it a bedroom legally.
  9. Where is the house? Many terraced houses in Walkley have original attic rooms. The new roof might just be a replacement - they don’t last forever. how old is the house?
  10. All I'll say was when I emailed him to help resolve an issue with the council he didn't bother to even reply. Clearly concerned about his constituents. From what I've read he may be a career politician and this is all just a fast track to be an MP in a safe seat eventually.
  11. but it was tiny and never massively busy when I went in. Always wondered how it could be possibly make enough money for Joe to live on. Unfortunately I think they will struggle without the post office. When I lived in Walkley two things attached me to Beaches - the butchers which had excellent quality meat and the post office. Am skeptical whether this new curry part is enough to keep it going or not. There are many options for takeaway curries in Walkley, so its a very saturated market.
  12. Do you have a big house? Have never paid 1500 a year in my leaky Victoria terrace even with heating on all day.
  13. Maybe read the article properly next time? It says it was caused by two effects - a staff shortage and extra checks due to the heightened security in the aftermath of terrorist attacks. Whilst in the last days we again had a combination of a staff shortage and *extra* checks caused by brexit. A check on passports that used to take seconds now takes around 1.5 minutes because each passport must be stamped. Why? Because as a consequence of Brexit we became a third country. Was the same when I went to Switzerland a month ago - much slower because now they have to ask each person questions about what they are doing, when they will leave and then stamp the passport.
  14. Its a simple fact a check that used to take seconds now takes 90 seconds. Even with all 12 booths staffed there will be long queues, where there were none/short queues before. It's the same at nearly all land borders in the world that don't have free movement.
  15. The mum claims all the kids playing the game make these kinds of statements. If true, then its unlikely to mean he would do it and locking up everyone who says it is pointless...the cop seems to confirm this by saying they lock kids up all the time for saying this kind of thing (are they all really about to commit mass murder?). But if not true, then given they have mass shootings the kid probably needs locking up.
  16. They will. If lots of people behave like your friends, then revenue is going to drop even more. The railways already run at a loss due to the EFH drop in demand. I suspect the strikes would further ingrain that, which will just mean even more money has to be saved from somewhere....
  17. Johnson routinely lies to parliament every week during PMQs. So its odd that suddenly Tory MP's care about this in one specific case.
  18. also SlimSids efforts to get a girlfriend!
  19. this has happened. Many oil refineries and other infrastructure have been blown up in the last month. No one has claimed responsibility.
  20. I'd check the reviews, if they have them. The one I was recommended had a significant fraction of very bad reviews. Best is to get a recommendation from a friend you know well, though as I found a lot of people could only say all the ones they had used were useless...
  21. Nick Clegg is long gone though. New people may not have the same policies (true for all parties).
  22. True. But they can change the interpretation of the constitution which impacts laws, as in this case. So indirectly they do make law.
  23. Also if labour supporters stopped publicly saying people don't vote for them because they are brainwashed by the media, it might help. People can buy the guardian if they want instead of the daily mail! If they buy the latter, they probably don't have left wing views in the first place anyway.
  24. annual service costs of £2200? Either you have a very expensive car and are taking to a main dealer, or you have been ripped off there IMO... Even my minis big service where they did everything was £600, a normal service would be well below that. Similar how can an MOT be £2050?? I spend more like £700-800 a year on servicing, insurance etc. And I don't pay a monthly lease which is a very expensive way to own a car. An ebike is fine for short journeys, but many have family living all over the country. So an e-bike would be an extra cost, not a substitute cost.
