Sandwich and Baguette prices/quality

LMAO 🤣 -
I was thinking along similar lines. Is it really only that one single line breeze block wall holding up the whole of the upstairs/roof? 😲

Our employer is in the last stages of a work location framework trial, the outcome of which might result in 100% remote working for some roles. I have been banging on about this from day one, we really need to be careful what we wish for because if my role falls into this category, I’ll no longer be competing with my peers in London, but all over the UK and most possibly worldwide. Another thing to consider is that for a number of people that rent small flats or rooms, working from home is either unpleasant, not practical or not even an option. Yeah, of course, working from home is really appealing if you own a big house out in the country with space for an office room, but we don’t all fall into that category. I very much support our current work arrangements, which is hybrid working. I like a mixture of interacting with colleagues in the office and the flexibility to work from home when I want to concentrate on a piece of work/project.

It’s definitely up for me. Also, they ‘boast’ about the rent portion only being 2.75% of market value. With 25% share, that’s still just shy of £1k a month just for the rent, then you’ve got to pay mortgage and service charge. No thanks, I’ll think I’ll pass on that one. -

Yep. 25% shared ownership. https://www.latimerhomes.com/new-build-homes/london/alperton/the-waterline -

I reckon that’s for a 25% shared ownership. They've just forgot to mention it. -
Jeremyn Corbyn barred from standing as a Labour MP
bomberbrown replied to zugzwang's topic in House prices and the economy
Excellently put. -
I wrote something similar, to what I’m about to write, a few years back. But basically, the gist was that high street banks got everyone hooked on low interest rates like a drug pusher knowing full well there was only one direction interest rates we’re going afterwards. Also, it’s not in high street banks interest to inflate this debt away….they don’t want paying back in ever worthless £/$/€.

Thursday's BoE meeting - what's your prediction?
bomberbrown replied to Orb's topic in House prices and the economy
The US are almost certain to be going for only a .25% the day before the BoE. That will give the BoE the green light to do the same. 🤬 CME FedWatch Tool - CME Group -
The moral hazard of means testing state pension, would be no-one in their right mind would save for their old age….. or at least (as another poster pointed out further back) they will start saving/hoarding value items that can’t be included in means testing. i.e precious metals, antiques, jewellery/time pieces…..and dare I say it, primary residence, because you can guarantee the old £2M house you’re knocking around it, WON’T be included in the means testing*. 😤 *Having said that, I have been thinking in recent years that as the younger become in power in politics, they might not have the same belief that primary residence is sacred and that people should downsize/release equity for means testing purposes.

25k for a telephone kiosk?????
bomberbrown replied to NoHPCinTheUK's topic in House prices and the economy
That’s probably what it is. I had to check it out on Google Street View and it looks just as odd on there as it does on Rightmove. -
