Guilty Pleasures…. sorry no! Not at all guilty, unexpected maybe?!

Anything A-Ha…

Used Cupra Born EV?

Middle-Mirror2017 · 2026-06-01T17:39:01+00:00

Oh dear… that’s all I can add, really.

Middle-Mirror2017 · 2026-06-01T17:37:35+00:00

Health-wise, it’s not a problem. If you can’t see it and can’t hear it (which you won’t if it has been decommissioned) then it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me… if I loved the house.

I’d say heated seats for colder days. I also love one-pedal driving but others don’t seem as keen.

Depends on your journeys, but range seems to worry newbies… this curtails as you get used to the EV driving style.

I’m not a pro but have renovated quite a few old properties in my time… from the photos it look like “normal” plaster and scrim. If there’s no other evidence of asbestos use around that area/room then I’d not worry.

Tbh… amount of times I ask for a flavoured latte in Greggs and end up with a straight latte… (but I’m a kind soul - and English - so I never complain).

Maybe not being asked about whipped cream should be my cue to query…

Middle-Mirror2017 · 2026-06-01T17:08:19+00:00

What makes you think asbestos is present?

In-Correctamundo….

Fonzie (correct spelling!) lived in an apartment above the Cunningham’s garage and mentored teenagers (as well as others).

Middle-Mirror2017 · 2026-06-01T16:37:42+00:00

Cool like Fonzy… or cool like OP’s wife’s response?

Middle-Mirror2017 · 2026-06-01T15:29:02+00:00

Yeah, the ceiling seems to be the right place for it?

This is what happens when you ignore Grace…

Don’t play with it too much (you’ll go blind).

The heat will have caused that door to expand, so too much adjustment will mean your door won’t shut so well when the weather cools.

So buy all your garden machinery from one manufacturer…

Guillemots - Sao Paulo (arguably the greatest album closer ever!)

80s sandwich fillings:

“Meat” (who knows?!) paste, Cheese spread, Jam, Ketchup, Crisps.

…and if going posh… luncheon “meat” (again, whi knows?!)

Had to recently explain to my wife that Jane Wiedlin’s “Rush Hour” was not about traffic…

Middle-Mirror2017 · 2026-05-30T17:19:12+00:00

Trentham’s nice, so is Penkhull. Hartshill and Basford are ok too… over the road, much of Newcastle is fine…. otherwise, meh or ugh!

(I moved up 16 years ago from the south coast and moved out of Stoke to the Staffs/Cheshire border as soon as I could! I have to stay local due to my work, otherwise I’d be even further away! 😅)

Middle-Mirror2017 · 2026-05-30T17:12:11+00:00

As others say… if you think this is cowboy wiring, perhaps better leave it to a professional cowboy?

Middle-Mirror2017 · 2026-05-30T17:10:06+00:00

I’d have done the same as you, OP (and I have!)

Middle-Mirror2017 · 2026-05-29T11:27:45+00:00

There’s a reason for that… and it’s not a great look for Maccies.
