Brave New World

Yeah the quotes received for a partial chimney rebuild with local stone....from 8k by a local leader to getting it done via a stone mason and me sorting the rest at 3.2k proves your point. As with the 9-11k quotes for new decking and stone patio, with one raised bed in a 25ft x12ft area is also proving the point

I do but not from the price aspect more owning a listed house from 1590 is akin to running a classic car. X10 There's always something and there's always a tradesmen looking to do the Cotswolds grift from my hard earned.

And there was me just wondering if air BnB had reached saturation point. Yet another small cottage in our village gone to air BnB. Looking at the bookings there seems to be a fair bit of white space this year. Cost of living x supply....?

......near 500 year old house and yeah gets a bit draughty but is largely warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Built to face I to the prevailing wind with sloped roof, with thick walls. Will the new builds up the road still be standing in half a millennia? Notably the only houses seeing price reductions in my area of the Cotswolds are houses built in the last 40years. Of which the new new builds are a sea of windows and walls.

Madoff, a "monster" because he did over his own What a tinpot title

Spending or waste? Benefits and public services or the crony merry go round, free for all? Depending on which side you sit of those two questions depends on decency, sense and a grasp of what society means as a bedrock of a functioning, capatalist economy

Additional, UK specific factor of post brexit readjustment of our weaker economic standing in the global finance market, very high existing sovereign and personal debt levels...and the UK housing market. Oh and that QE. Throw in decreasing levels of productivity and jokesville inward investment....and I believe it's too simplistic to apply a global/US model to the UK Inflation to stay high single digits YoY into 2024 comfortably.

2023 The year of the middle class recession When the debt rate hike really locks in the recession into the wider economy Sample of one time but I've shelved an extension, a garden re-do (I'm waiting for builders/landscapers to get worried before I get prices again...some of them this year we're laughable given what we are on the eve of....oh and a car purchase. All cash and no credit but I ain't buying for a year or two.... imagine if you are solely reliant on finance. Car deals are low double digit now, at BMW we are talking +6ppts in a year. 23 is the year this really gets going There's no glee even for many on here....it will likely impact many of us too such is the considerable re set about to take place

You would What is it about certain types in America that celebrate over rated and over extended billionaire odd jobs (although tbf he won't be a billionaire for too much longer) You see and as newb this site derided these over leveraged wackos but you don't get that.

You mean Maggie T's greatest achievement NuLabour? Sponsored by the old man from Australia who also now sponsors you current political trough

The right wing dog whistle is inherent in some. They would rather a ruskie cosying, ex banker liar as a solution (solution to the problems him and his mob of halfwits have already helped create).

It's not normal seeing the numbers land just pre and post Xmas as I've seen this year. Whether there is more automation to listings landing as may well be but the early sounds of a 2023 stampede to exit as the year unwinds and realities land

The core principle correct but feck me only in the in denial torygraph could one fine such dilge. The worker and not the non investing, dodgy M&A, poor performing Boards of UK corps to blame......feck me And then the biggest whopper at the end.....poor old Liz fighting the good fight eh and those noble gents at the IEA, those paragons of socio economic thinking. What a load of horse droppings but tha KS for sharing and making me again realise there are certain areas of the UK that are utterly cutlist in their denial of reality.

13 pages dedicated to Born in the US boi failing to grasp what the commie,Marxist, socialist aka welfare state does that this individual will never grasp....we home and still care (despite our tribute act of the worse of the US government we have)....we house and this is what our slow pilgrim in the septic land gets without out it... and yet he still argues, the poor binary fellow..... Have a good look at these images tezza, sup it.. https://www.google.com/search?q=tent+cities+usa&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&prmd=insv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiSgIijsYv8AhWXTUEAHbDAC4gQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=384&bih=718&dpr=2.81#imgrc=TE8LOPy8FsysBM

Yeah you forget the drinking water, tent cities, approaching civil war and focus on the singular point... ....btw it's medical bankruptcy, we don't have that as it's not an issue, if you did have anything but a binary ability to comprehend.... ...Sup it up.... it...https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/14/health-insurance-medical-bankruptcy-debt And as I say, sure there's an angry, we hate commies and get confused easily, frustrated US man message board for you to slink off to on your septic side of the Atlantic.

Yeah we're struggling in our hudnrefs of thousands for clean drinking water and we have tent cities all over the country, along with half a million folk going bankrupt through medical costs. Oh no, it's your festering nation Civil war approaching and you've got time to post laughable, misinformed guff about socialism blah blah....which it seems you so misinformed about you haven't even got a basic grasp of what it entails. Sure theirs plenty of proud boy forums for you to get connected too. This forum already has enough neo right wing, dog whistle types.

Again no grasp of the vast differences in society, thank god, between the us and the UK Though the Harvard study references in Fahrenheit 11/9 shows how much you lot have been mugged off. Surprising you are chucking you two penny worth into something you literally have no idea about. Again reference your festering society mugged and sold off to corps I'll happily carry on paying tax for free at point health service ...whilst you lot mug yourselves off into oblivion....like the 530k declares brankrupt last year due to health costs. Line up and get drained by corps and you don't even realise it.

Glance over at the state of your country lad.... absolute festering s hole, teetering on the brink of civil war. Yeah I'll take modern European socialism ovee your odd grasp of reality any day. Ps in my local community social housing has kept many families and younger people living in their community but difficult to grasp for a yank interloper

But for a small minority, reform Cultists et al, this really gets them feeling warm and fuzzy. A certain generation applauding whilst they confirm their legacy as a largely hateful bunch. Genuinely worrying the lack of coverage and debate but then just look at the backgrounds of dropped in at the top of the BBC foodchain.....an organisation that the gammon reform mob think is left wing....

Certainly agree with your last point, however the deceit and misdirection of presenting himself as an alternative to the gullible, the lost, the hateful makes him worse. His delusion, extreme narcissistic character is far more dangerous then the already provenly corrupt and hateful current system. Populism in 2022 was the year the veil dropped from a number of key characters.....Musk the latest, freedom of speech but not when folk are sharing videos of him being booed and booting journalists off twitter he doesn't like.

You really are a specimen Best go get buying his narcissistic playcards.

You are correct, the downside I hadn't considered. As you say the downsides will be more keenly felt. These shysters have vandalised properties for their own HMO grubby needs.

And this is why there is karma if this particular breed of BTL parasite (the subdividing/bedsiters who screw locals with extra people crammed in both renters and neighbours). Lovely to hear, as this seems to be the social media go to of clowns clapping there hands over pyramid style bs dreams paraded and sold by the scummy likes of Samuel Leeds Let it pop and feck em

Why does this site attract so many cultist Reformists? I mean being married to a nurse whose pay is less than it was ten years ago, who's dealing with budget riven collapses in service that are in the far majority ideologically driven by a clamouring set of foaming mouth Tories clamouring to privatise, whilst I buy her a laptop so she can work from home one day a week might give me a glimpse of what is actually going on but yeah it's all management's fault and those anti 'the people', greedy nurses for strikings fault.....all whilst the Torues blow £70bn+ through grand incompetence and cronyism. Ps 530,000 went bankrupt in the US last year through medical bills. That the health service you and your ilk clamour for eh? Honestly the state of perpetual naïvety and ignorance as to the NHS is perplexing
