Re: Cook - is it a good and healthy option for poor cooks?

Re: Can anyone recommend a Surveyor

James Delamere at Delamere Nicolet https://delamerenicolet.co.uk/ 01372 308929 - really reliable and professional.  I'm not sure about fees for a job like this as he has never done structural work for us.

Re: Can anyone recommend a reliable roofing company?

A W Roofing (Alan Woods Roofing) has done two jobs for us,, absolutely reliable, excellent quality and very reasonable, though probably not the absolute cheapest you could find.

SCAM WARNING - Please Read

I have a background in IT, though not in fraud prevention, and have just been round to a friend who has been the victim of a very sophisticated scam to try to help her.

Re: Happy Christmas, not "Happy Holidays" please!

That’s true but they get a holiday only because of a Christmas tradition established largely by a Christian Victorian culture. We are expected to acknowledge many other cultural influences so why not that one too?

Re: Awful SIL making me dread extended family Christmas

I hope no-one works out my identity ................ We have exactly the same problem, except that I'm the husband and my wife has - and has had for years - simmering issues with my sister in law, though not to the point of her being 'awful'.  Based on over 40 years of being married I'd say three th...
