The usual pre-budget rumours, this time on property taxes. We are currently trying to sell a house for over £500K and buy one a bit cheaper, but still for over £500k. While rumours of a new tax persist, these houses simply aren't going to move. And Rachel will be missing out on a bundle of SDLT in the meantime.
Tbh I can't see how this can be introduced in an equitable way anyway and expect it will be filed under 'too hard' but for the moment it will gum everything up and cause plans to be put on hold.0 -

Missing the 20 second golden period to butter your toast.7

I prefer the butter to be not melted. I let the toast cool down before buttering.MrOneLung said:Missing the 20 second golden period to butter your toast.Yes……I know I’m in the minority.8 -
Yeah so much better like that. Crispy toast and you can actually taste the butter.SuedeAdidas said:

I love hot toast straight from the toaster but cold toast is lovely too. Especially with peanut butter.3

Dustcarts. I get it,they have to stop every few metres but why stop between parked cars blocking the entire road when there are massive gaps either side?2

I can appreciate thisRedvalleyeast said:Dustcarts. I get it,they have to stop every few metres but why stop between parked cars blocking the entire road when there are massive gaps either side?
What I'll say is I bet the drivers start off their workong life stopping considerately and doing that then after one cock sucker manager after another gets on at them about a metric they just think "I ain't doing this anymore"
Same with delivery drivers but I think they slip the consideration phase. Dickheads behave like they are ambulance drivers. That will be the same excise too, they will have some manager on at them but from stories told to me by people who do and have done that job its more about thinking societal norms don't apply to then2 -

They have now removed League 1, but obviously do not know how to spell Championship as they have left it blank 😀ross1 said:I moaned at the start of the season that on the OS, where they give what league we are in all it had was FA Cup.
Been updated now but they say we are in League 1, who updates the official site that does not know which league we are in?2 -
No point changing now, we'll be in the Premier League next season.4

The same reason that they throw the empty bins all over the place and leave rubbish strewn in the road, because this country is morally bankrupt.Redvalleyeast said:Dustcarts.

Agreed. And why? Is it too make us all happy?Covered End said:

I watched a programme about an area in USA, where the dustmen wheeled the bins from the path to the truck then had to pick them up and empty them by hand.Redvalleyeast said:Dustcarts.

Obviously have not got trucks like ours which does the emptying0 -

I’ve recently moved to an area that uses wheely bins. This is the first time I’ve ever lived where they are used.ross1 said:

Obviously have not got trucks like ours which does the emptyingHowever we are told that as we are on a small cul de sac, everything that goes in our wheely bins has to be bagged up as the dustcart won’t enter the cul de sac.So I put bin bags into my wheely bin. Pull it to the end of my drive, the bin man opens it, carries the bins to the van and lobs them (mostly) into it.I then have to walk up and take the wheely bin back in.They won’t collect bin bags if they are left outside the wheely bin.#amazing1 -
tbf they are probably advised by the council not too, otherwise people leave their bin bags on the pavement overnight and the foxes have a party with it.5

They will if you paint them with a St George's cross 😂Fumbluff said:

Tea and Coffee.
Me and the mussus are not the most gregarious of people so don't have hoards of guests visiting. We also drink either Nescafe Coffee or Typhoo/Miles (when we can get it) Tea.
It seems that every guest no longer settles for a mug of PG Tips or Nescafe but ask for Earl Grey, Green, White or some other "Voodoo Jazz Hat!" of a brew. While sorting out today I have come across my range of Teas, and I think it would put a small Tea Shop to shame.
I am braving tackling the coffee cupboard next if I have the Ganas.3 -

Toilet bowls with a sloping back.
So every time you drop the kids off at the pool, no matter how far forward you sit, you have to use the toilet brush.
It’s not rocket science.
Either go full German style, so you can conduct a detailed forensic inspection before flushing, or allow free fall.
Drives me round the bend. It’s shit.

On this topic, the new fad for fruit flavour teas just makes me think of Lemsip and Hot Ribena. 😆
The power of marketing I guess can make people buy anything.0 -
