General Discussion

Knowing it's a repossession probably encourages low balling and time wasters, so why advertise the fact up front.  The one I enquired about isn't flagged up but the agent advised me it meant any offer the bank was prepared to accept would be published prior to exchange.  That  put me off it.

I suspect it probably is a bank sale, they're just not saying so.  I know of another property in that boat but it's not being marketed as such.

Dawlish Carnival

Hardly a Community Interest Company are they.  The response on EoD is to encourage a spin off alternative, I for one would support it.  Imagine a well run event tied in with the Airshow!  I hope the Council tells them where to get off, I don't want to read of any apologists talking about upholding tradition, they've had their chances.

Mrs Swift - you wonder why you are not popular with me?  Here's why.  You could have posted about the council meeting, or you could have posted about the work you do behind the scenes to support your claim that you do more than just slag off Judith Chalmers on here.  But no, your only contribution to this is the continuation of your petty sniping.  JC's not a councillor, you are. I think you need ...

Taxes Too High

I wholeheartedly support the welfare state but was taken by surprise recently when a friend of a friend got divorced.  She gets £2000 per month spousal maintenance (tax free) from her ex.  She's a qualified teacher but chooses to work the minimum hours as a Teaching Assistant in order to qualify for Tax Credits and for that she gets £1000 per month tax free because, guess what, maintenance ...
