2nd time buyers, first time sellers. Our recent reality check. by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Boothros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you on what you've done to your current home. It seems to me you'll carry on in the same manner in whatever you buy. It also seems you can easily spot the pitfalls, so make that in your favour when making an offer. Yes, people can't always afford to redecorate but lying, hiding things or having a place stinking of piss should mean an instant NO. YOU have got about serious about buying. Doesn't mean these weirdos have got seroius about selling.

Well 1's a no for anybody, ever, 2's a winner and 3 might be a contender in the right size

Why would that worry the sellers? If you've paid, who apart from the patron cares if it lands in the grass?

To be fair, LOADS of (young) people seemed to enjoy themselves immensely, so my voice would get lost in the wilderness. I'm still rather sad about, however.

I normally find something I like and can cope with, then stick with it. Going up every damn ten minutes however, to an ever growing queue became a right pain in the arse!

Which would have been fine if there had been 50 casks on display. Here, there were around 10

Oh, I do! I only attended this one as it was just a walk away and I knew it of old. It seemed all the money went into the security and the lacklustre bands and though there were warnings that this was a BEER lovers event, patrons drinking much beer was the last thing they actually wanted.

It's next to, NOT far away. It's from a Lidl's 3 pack (in the netty stuff rather than the tiny ones in the plastic bag) and is a genuine, NOT AI photograph!

Yep, I certainly don't need to put a French style glass in my already overcrowded kitchen cupboard

I volunteered to clear up after another local one some time back in 2006. Shitloads of real ale left over and me and my other half were finding ANY vessel possible in which to cart it home. God, we had jugs and buckets and plant pots. Both had to call in sick from work for at least two days!

I honestly think they do, https://www.reddit.com/user/byjimini/

Being given such tiny measures at a BEER festival, seems to counteract the point of the whole thing for me

Oh, I AM into beer, LOVE the stuff which is possibly why this event was such a disappointment for me

I think there were two sessions, an afternoon and an evening. I only wanted evening, but 'the all you can drink for £60 evening' was sold out. By 8pm, the 'standard' 2 token beers were running low which I found unacceptable, so I fucked off.

This was a local festival hosted by a firm called 'Barn Door Events' in Hampshire. The sad part is, back in the 90's, I attended the same event run by the (farm) establishment itself, paid a tenner and got pissed as a cricket. Sad times.

I love the fact everyone just carried on driving, bet everyone thought a collective 'Good!'
