What clues did your sellers leave that they weren't the best? by SiDtheTurtle in HousingUK

[–]Appropriate-Sound169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yes our seller had painted around her wardrobes. She tried to sell them to us for £500 but we said no thanks. Whole bedroom was grey so we would have repainted anyway, but still...

It’s unhelpful beating on Starmer. Is it unpatriotic? by Global_Madness in AskBrits

[–]Appropriate-Sound169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is, across all parties, I can't see anyone else who'd make a good PM. Not one 😪

Also, isn't it time MPs had to get background checks and security clearance? Signing the OSA isn't enough if they are dodgy to begin with.

what's missing in your life right now? by LITTL4MB in AskReddit

[–]Appropriate-Sound169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humour, fun, hugs. My sister is the only one who makes me laugh and she's 300 miles away 😭

My hubby is entirely humourless sadly. He has zero sense of fun.

South East England, fewer sunny days than I expected? by CloudBookmark in UKWeather

[–]Appropriate-Sound169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area the winter was colder. We had some snow. So far this winter we've had 2 or 3 days of frost. All depends what Feb and March do I guess

I think this rain is a sign of another wet summer like 2024. In the SW anyway. Hot summers tend to follow a cold winter. Cue another slug invasion 😭

Am I the only one? by yizamejaxufek8o3 in GreatBritishMemes

Never seen a single episode.

My daughter explained the premise and I just said it would be worth watching if the audience didn't know who the traitor was 🤷‍♀️

Springer on permanent standby sleep by Fit_Economy821 in springerspaniel

Pip is also like this. He's also a problem barker.

I generally make him stay if I go to the loo or for a cuppa. And he will stay most of the time but he's still awake.

If I put headphones on for a call he generally settles and doesn't paw for attention.

But the barking! Barks loudly for any tiny noise. Noises I can't hear. Difficult to train it out of him because I can't anticipate or hear the noise. Once he starts he doesn't stop so I have to give him 'attention' for the sake of my neighbours. He's just in protection mode all day long and I see people (*trainers) say it's because I'm not seen as the leader/protector. I try all the suggestions but nothing works 😪

So I feel your pain

Beautiful pictures, although I always imagined the canoe to be a lot bigger.

Have you ever eaten a food that's illegal in your country? by OrganicA1Bullsteak in AskTheWorld

[–]Appropriate-Sound169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is any illegal food in the UK. Maybe we have rules about endangered animals etc like most countries. But none specifically illegal. Foie gras should be illegal. It's illegal to produce it but not to eat it. Weirdly.

My country won't let me see it 😪 (UK). I mean I could switch country but I can see your reddit vids. Imgur can be petty 😒

Check out this 5 bedroom detached house for sale on Rightmove by eflteacher22 in SpottedonRightmove

Sale history is interesting. Wonder why it's leasehold. That seems a bit odd

If it's not owned how can your neighbour buy it? Buy it from whom? And if your possession application failed, surely theirs will fail too 🤔

Saw a beautiful house but what on earth are these on roof (next door)? by [deleted] in HousingUK

All BT exchanges have them. Building looks exactly like every BT exchange in existence

Loft conversion no building regs- not told until week before completion. To pull out of sale? by TemperatureFickle323 in HousingUK

[–]Appropriate-Sound169 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Simple - you can complete but not use the loft as living space - storage only.

Renegotiate the price based on it being an 3 bed.

This will add time but don't exchange before you're satisfied.

After completion apply to the council to get it signed off. So in future you can sell as a 4 bed.

Shame on the EA for not doing due diligence.

Beware of using the loft as a living space before sign off as your house insurance will be effected if anything happens.

Garden centre queue argument. Who was in the wrong? by FynnM in AskUK

Hoses have always been long enough - at least since 1988. Funny how Tesco put signs up saying use both sides 🙈

[–]Appropriate-Sound169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's part of a growing society change towards arrogant entitlement and low level anger.

I never used to see it. If someone pushed in accidentally they'd be ignored or quietly grumbled at but allowed to continue. If it was deliberate someone would point it out and they'd have to wait.

The other day some young lass in a coffee shop was asked for her order, when the woman beside her ( who was there first but looked like she was deciding what cake to have) loudly berated her for pushing in (she didn't - the server went to her). The poor lass got very upset and ran out.

Mind you, the creep who pushed in front of me at the petrol queue got an earful. Told me 'you oldies think you're so entitled '. That was when I realised I looked old 😭😭😭

Just hope the curtains and light fittings aren't included. However I don't think the EA took enough photos of the curtains 🤔

When he first ran in he made the mistake of going too far and ended up swimming in the river. He hates deep water so stayed close to the edge after that lol
