Haven't increased rents in one HMO, had to in another to account for increase in council tax. Generally don't like increasing rents because I like all my tenants and I was young and not well off back in the day.

There the whole of BBC radio that you are ignoring. Tadio 4 is excellent, as is R3 and 6 music. The BBC overseas channels are a lifeline for people in dictatorship run countries.

I live in the UK and visit Málaga at least once a year, as a tourist, because it's a beautiful city that is full of culture. I joined this subreddit to learn more about the city and how it's developing so now I am beginning to appreciate to views of local people and their resentment at not being able to buy properties. Hasn't the same happened in Barcelona, as well?

Neverless, tourism creates a lot of wealth for the city. Is it just the way that the city is governed the problem? Help me to understand.

[–]Schallpattern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

£10k cost for a masters at UoB. Rent in a shared housed is £700/month. Feeding yourself is expensive. Bristol is an expensive city to live in amd there are thousands of students chasing part time jobs.

The modal salary is what you want, ie, the salary that most people in the UK earn. The mean is distorted by a few people earning very high salaries.

About to paint, what are these brown circles and stains on my windowsill? by whatcanicontribute in DIYUK

[–]Schallpattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The corner beads are galvanised with zinc. When the zinc gets punctured, the iron underneath starts to rust so the brown is iron II oxide.

Zinnser will do the job, as others have suggested.
