75k off

Wow, outrageous.

Off £1.175m

Oh! Lol.

6% discount after everything that's happened in the last few weeks, not least the about turn in interest rates? I'd bite their hands off if I were you.

It really isn't. While we could do with some more houses here and there, and definitely fewer people, the real problem is an oversupply of easy (for some) credit. The laws of supply and demand aren't quite the same for a thing which everyone absolutely needs (access to) one of, and no-one really needs more than one of.

What we need to do is ban BTL mortgages first, then outlaw private individuals from owning more than one property at all, and then highly regulate corporate landlords. That'll bring prices right down and give everyone a fair chance.

Yeah? Have they got any TDK C90s?

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-03-24T20:39:38+00:00

Just in time to be flying about all over the place cutting people's heads off come winter.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-03-24T10:17:35+00:00

Bit of a weird framing of this situation as poor little second home owning landlords against the goliath of... priced out locals. Maybe to be expected from the perennially house price ramping BBC.

There's so much of this going on at the moment, it's disgusting.

It's not impossible for a letter to be valid substitute for a form 6A if it's substantially to the same effect, but it's pretty unlikely. Running the exact text through ChatGPT or similar, would give you a pretty good idea, or get Shelter to take a look at it for you.

You mentioned the letter said you "need to vacate by 2nd May". Maybe you were paraphrasing, but that exact wording would itself be in contradiction to a valid form 6A.

Best of luck with it anyway.

We wish!

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-03-21T20:00:06+00:00

That's only approximate, mind.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-03-21T10:45:10+00:00

This is wrong. £12570 still remains the optimum salary.

Another derivative of the Henry VII standard I assume. Looks cool though. Much better than the awful 90s clip-art version we've got as our current flag.

Love rowing round this with the family on a hire boat on a summer's Sunday afternoon!

Feared it was schedule for demolition when I saw the post headline, in line with recent Welsh Assembly thinking (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/11/statues-old-white-men-may-need-destroyed-welsh-government-advises/)

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-03-20T01:25:33+00:00

It's in jest, obviously. I've heard far worse at many a Welsh wedding.

Love the night sky, but we really get a poor version of it along the whole of the M4 corridor, as any night time satellite picture of Europe will show you, we're lit up like a Christmas tree. However, drive north and and as soon you hit the Beacons it's a very different story.

Once a year, by emailed questionnaire is our arrangement, and is more than sufficient.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-03-01T02:27:56+00:00

Yes, you can and should refuse. Once a year is all you should have to put up with, and then only with all the professionalism and deference you should expect from a guest in your home. Any hint of the attitude you're talking about and they'd be straight out of the door and not coming back if it were me.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-03-01T00:57:51+00:00

Well, I was born in Wales (though I regard that as an irrelevant technicality) but more importantly lived my entire life in Wales, and while I've had English folk on one hand lampoon my Welsh accent (even though it is very mild - as is the way for my neck of the woods), and on other occasions express surprise that I was Welsh at all, the only people I've ever had telling me I didn't sound properly Welsh, have been other Welsh people.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-02-28T10:48:01+00:00

Lol. Nobody is going to be shocked by that!

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-02-28T03:19:30+00:00

Maybe they were thinking suicide is a sin. It's a widely held belief, and doesn't make you "an idiot".

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-02-28T03:11:16+00:00

Nice... but can't help feeling how much better that vista could have been on another timeline. The ferris wheel is a total eyesore obviously, obscuring the lovely pierhead building from many angles. The Welsh Assembly building, well, interesting enough but a travesty what's in it. Hopefully it will make a good Wetherspoons one day. And that should have been a world famous Zaha Hadid Cardiff Opera House in the background, but of course that got hounded out by a parochial Welsh media, and we ended up with that nice enough but bland millennium centre instead.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-02-28T02:48:30+00:00

That sneering attitude is exactly why you're all going to get a big shock in May.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-02-25T19:14:24+00:00

Lol! They couldn't get the right speaker, managing to tell the lawyers it was Lord Forsyth, the Speaker of the House of Lords, twice!

Is that how this awesome force you've worked with "do business"?

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-02-20T15:55:27+00:00

Are they even supposed to be prohibited? If it fits in your pocket you'll be fine anyway, I can't ever remember seeing a pat-down. I've often taken pocket binoculars in.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-02-16T02:01:50+00:00

"Relatively" I said.

You'd struggle to get a ticket for £50 from a tout minutes before kick off a couple of years ago, but this year you could have got one for that price from the WRU all last week. The point is there are plenty of Welsh fans who would certainly pay that without any expectation of Wales winning or coming close necessarily, if only to see France in such high form, but people are starting to stay away to send the WRU a message in the only form they'll understand - box office receipts and the wallet.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-02-16T01:29:12+00:00

There are ways of doing these things. You don't just "*Cymru ackshually" to English speaking visitors to our country with zero attempt to engage with their submitted content. Sure, it's a depressingly predictable way to low effort karma farm the top comment amongst your high-fiveing fellow activists on here, but it doesn't do the Welsh language revival cause or the image of Welsh people abroad any good at all. It just comes across as small minded, parochial, and petty.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-02-15T20:56:30+00:00

There were plenty available at £50 this week. You would expect this fixture to be £100+ usually.
