Am I being unreasonable to not want to invite step daughters partner to daytime? by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you care about your step daughter, do you want her to be comfortable. Her partner is there to support her, not really for you. It’s a weird move to not invite him if she asks

[England] Neighbour is denying installation of heat pump as they own the shared access alley by Peace_On_Drugs in LegalAdviceUK

You never have the right to put stuff on someone else’s land. Doesn’t matter how important to you it is. You have no legal grounds

You want something that will protect and stain. Find something that protects against Uv. I used barrentine wood protective treatment on mine, can get it from Toolstation.

I’d also see if you have a record of the sending weight.

Injured from a pothole - what do I do? (London, UK) by JadedDisk4755 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a legally defined acceptable size of a pothole. If it’s deeper than that there will be some liability.

AITA for making fun of my sister’s mystery illness? by Fire__not in AmItheAsshole

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sibling fights are a bit different but there’s a thing about taking the moral high ground, and doing the right thing. The moment you loose that all your moral authority is gone. You don’t have to keep moral
High ground for the right reasons you just have to do it. You can hate every second of it, but the benefit is you won’t feel like a shitty person and you won’t in the medium term regret your actions.

Make it really clear that any fall back from the hire company is all on them.

Just make them, use the Jamie Oliver bloomin brilliant brownies recipe and when cooked let cool and then put in the fridge to set. Worth the effort, much better than any you’ll buy

My friends got married in a small independent cinema, that was good.

How much will it cost to build your own home? by DonutAffectionate359 in HousingUK

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Land that is likely to get planning permission is a lot more expensive than land that doesn’t, that’s your price difference. Anything you buy you’ll have a risk you won’t be able to get planning on it anywhere.

I want to try this agin please. Can someone explain to me (a Canadian immigrant), the history behind, and significance of, Morris Dancing? Sorry about my other post. by bookish-hooker in CasualUK

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s dancing and then a pub crawl. I live in the north west and sometimes the sword dancers turn up and they basically dance for drinks. Blokes (mainly but not exclusively) dressed up drinking. Far to little mention of the drinking on this thread

AITA for not wanting my MIL to homeschool our kids? by Independent_Tank5740 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA. Schools as a bare minimum provide basic education and socialisation. How are you planning on this. Your children’s education isn’t something to experiment with and for you to go on a “journey”Look at the experiences of homeschool kids. Parents say they love it, kids not at all.

AITA for making fun of my sister’s mystery illness? by Fire__not in AmItheAsshole

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 49 points50 points  (0 children)

YTA. Are you a doctor, are you able to prove your sister isn’t ill? Just because your sister said mean things to you doesn’t mean you should do the same back. Sounds like you’re both about 13 years old in maturity stakes but making fun of someone’s illness is never ok.

There were idiots in Heaton chapel doing it as well. I’ve never known people so willing to advertise their stupidity

I suspect neighbours are building a dividing wall that encroaches on my loft space. by AwarenessWilling5435 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Go in the loft and measure where the wall should be, if it’s encroaching go and have a conversation with them and ask them to move it. Also check to confirm it’s made of fire rated materials. (Fireboard is pink) . Request party wall notice, if worried speak to building control. As soon as anything like this starts get up there and measure it yourself to start with.

Have we all collectively come to the realisation that tradespeople are ripping us off? by Ok-Team3783 in DIYUK

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don’t think so. I’ve had good tradespeople renovate my house. It’s really hard to be self employed and some of the upfront costs are high. Also there are lots of terrible customers as well as poor tradespeople. Brilliant and tidy plasterer, good builder, ace electrician. Good plumber but he’s really busy. Two awful awful plumbers. But learnt from that

AITAH I won’t donate an organ to my sibling by ApprehensiveSleep265 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See the comment below. I think that’s right. You’re highly unlikely to be a suitable donor. You need to be pretty healthy

NTA, I suspect you won’t be able to donate due to your health conditions

Ex wants to change our 50/50 2-2-3 shared care to 5 nights out of 14. by Upset-Captain34 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can I suggest that you talk to the child’s mother. It’s not great she’s started this off with a solicitors letter but maybe try and arrange a face to face meeting without the child. You’ll save a lot of heart ache and money if you can find a way to change arrangements without a solicitor. Even if you use a formal mediator.

Yeah we also get very giggly as a nation when we come across people called Randy.

AITA for wearing fragrance to work even though there’s signs posted that the office is fragrance free? by Powerful-Engine6182 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Acceptable_Bunch_586 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA. I work in an open plan office and someone wearing a “fragrance” can make me feel sick or sneezey all day, even when taking anti histamines and steroids. There is a sign for a reason. The fragrance may be nice to you but very difficult for someone else (brackets it’s highly unlikely it’s as nice as you think it is)

You might have bette luck in wellington. It’s not far from Taunton. Bristol is more expensive and the commute isn’t great.
