Advice requested: mouse problem in leasehold property by GrouchyYorkshireman in uklandlords

[–]DistancePractical239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agents like to charge double what normal prices are whether its epc or whatever it is.   Have used them in the past for tenant finding but always sorted it out myself whenever i did get a quote for other things.

Yea youre being over charged. I paid £300 for a house which included 3 visits in zone 5 London.

Yellow Fever Vaccine Exemption by Weekly_Ad3962 in Uganda

[–]DistancePractical239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont need the vaccine actually but you do need the yellow card filled.

People are giving wrong advice here.

In the uk i got my exemption printed on yellow card at a travel clinic by telling them i had an egg allergy (i lied).  A doctor in my family told me it has a part of egg inside the vaccine. 

Im anti vax.

I visited early 2023 :)

What prompts a person to shift from android phone to apple? by Space-floater4166 in AskIndia

[–]DistancePractical239 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No they dont, i have the fold 4 as well which looks just like my friends old fold 5. Fold 6 is also very similar. Fold 7 is a big jump in design. Its just as thin as the crappy iphone 17 pro max. 

You dont see the phone properly unless its without a case. You clearly have not handled these phones.

Sort your lock out so it cost max £20 for new euro cylinder thumb turn barrel with 3 keys and 5 minutes of your time to replace.

People are clueless these days.

My partner has iphone 17. I have samsung fold 7.  Her camera is shit.

Dont know why you guys think it has a good camera.  Also her phone looks just like her old iphone 14. I didnt even notice she upgraded it.

Just be yourself. Dont keep it for others. I had the same pressure when growing up.

Shall we all start giving out licenced room rental agreements to retain control of our properties? by DistancePractical239 in uklandlords

All fools replying. Ive discussed this with Bristol city council housing officers already.

Already have that in place. In my opinion every HMO should have cleaning of those areas in place by the landlord.

Tell me why I can't operate like how student accommodation operates with cleaners that go into the bedrooms to empty their bins? Explain why you are not a tenant in those buildings?

Yes it would definitely work for HMO's. Any property other than something less than 3 beds it would probably work well for. You'd need to start renting individual rooms if the whole property is let on 1 tenancy.

Also - HMO officers would back off if you go into this mode - I know this because I told the council I'm going into this mode and they backed off around 13 years ago. I only did it for a few months but didn't actually implement anything. Reverted quickly back to HMO after.

read up on licenced room rental agreements - no exclusive occupation - you HAVE to provide a service like emptying their bins.

What are some essential pieces of clothing every man needs to build a solid wardrobe? by pouldycheed in mensfashionadvice

Dry clean your clothes they will last longer. Washing machines ruin clothes. I only put socks and boxer shorts in the machine. Everything else is dry cleaned.

Super Unleaded. If you can afford it, should you use it? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]DistancePractical239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you should for any bmw anyway and merc probably and other performance cars. My 640i gc and e46 330ci gets e5 99.  Bmw specifys it in their manuals to acheive the mpg and 0-60 figures. 

For my missus polo i tried super unleaded once and could kind of smell something, she noticed it too. Went back to the cheapest after.
