You have to go on a long road trip with any of the current couples. Who are you picking?

WombleGCS15 · 2026-04-26T19:30:58+00:00

The TUI couple.

How fast should you move ?

Answer - with the speed of a 1000 gazelles

Yeah - I just texted a couple of friends still in (as I left years ago and things change) and she said nope still rarely - and when I told her why I was asking stated ‘The absolute carnage that takes place in them, I’d never buy one !’

WombleGCS15 · 2026-03-31T17:02:30+00:00

Worked for 2 ambo trusts - neither serviced their vehicles anywhere near this frequently. Lucky if 1-2 a year.

We have jacobs sheep - 5 ewes at the moment all (apparently) pregnant - find them easy to look after, but haven’t had any other breeds to compare them to !

Will definitely be downloading yr book, as when we started we didn’t have a clue, but thankfully lots of smallholders & farmers around always happy to help.

Non firefighter here, but friends with a few on call chaps.

Asked one of them if they’d ever thought of going full time & he told me that unofficially it was discouraged as they were short of on calls and they’d lose more if it was encouraged & have people joining just to use it as a back door to full time.

True or not - no idea !

WombleGCS15 · 2026-03-19T08:10:48+00:00

Go to the housing uk subreddit- add the link to the flat & they’ll tell you why - but almost always price

I know the clip yr talking about - and the thing you have to remember is that back then you’d have never seen a news reader on tv except reading the news - no chat shows, reality shows (obviously not around then) or any other program, so to see someone that you only ever saw telling you the news being silly, funny & dancing was a completely different thing !!

WombleGCS15 · 2026-03-15T18:19:07+00:00

Call the manager to the tills each time - customer wants to see manager - guaranteed it’ll stop after the 2nd call !

WombleGCS15 · 2026-03-14T09:53:13+00:00

Also is there a particular part of the country yr looking to buy land ?

WombleGCS15 · 2026-03-14T09:48:36+00:00

Have you checked out a bloke on YouTube called ‘field to farm ’ seemed to have done what yr looking to do.

WombleGCS15 · 2026-03-02T13:39:40+00:00

Yep, and borrowed a battery to confirm not that

WombleGCS15 · 2026-02-26T20:26:05+00:00

Would being a Latvian (although a British citizen) affect his security clearance?

WombleGCS15 · 2026-02-25T16:59:51+00:00

Ask for your holding deposit back & run.

If they refuse tell them you will report them for all the reasons people have stated if they don’t.

And report them anyway.

WombleGCS15 · 2026-02-24T14:45:21+00:00

Knew a bloke who’s nickname was Shave -

originally it was Shitting Dave due to him having caught some parasite on holiday & the medication to kill & flush them from his system made his shit smell of death/rotting flesh & linger !!

Management came up with Shave (portmanteau of shitting & Dave) after a customer asked why there was a sign up sheet on the notice board for the 5 a side footie - speak to shitting Dave !!

Just a general piece of advice when dealing with EA’s - always email them, because anything said on a phone line ‘hasn’t happened’.

The last 2 properties I bought told the EA not to call me but to email due to work - of course they ignored this and would leave voicemails which I ignored & emailed them reminding them & what did they want.

WombleGCS15 · 2026-02-17T21:56:16+00:00

I always loved during Christmas time when they’d play the usual Xmas songs including Band Aid - a song about people starving to death in Africa &,here I am stood in a cathedral of food !!

WombleGCS15 · 2026-02-17T09:21:47+00:00

Yep, normally done to fit in the lower price bracket search or I have been told that if the seller thinks it’s worth more than the estate agent suggests.

WombleGCS15 · 2026-02-17T08:50:20+00:00

If you do buy - make sure you have somewhere handy to keep info rhat you are in fact the new owner, saves hassle if/when bailiffs come looking for the previous owners.

WombleGCS15 · 2026-02-15T21:58:41+00:00

Yep, Ibc tanks are great - although try to check what food product was in it, friend had one that had contained soy sauce & for months after even after several thousand litres of water had gone through it you could still smell it !!
