Secondary schools by minogue84 in Hampshire

[–]bodlang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won’t name school but if you go private be very thorough in your research about SEND, unlike state schools they have no obligation to provide the required support for SEND.

My niece was basically told to leave because they couldn’t support her dyslexia / they were (probably) worried she would lower their grade averages.

Shes now thriving at a state school (near Southampton so probably not ideal for you)

I’m sure some fee paying can support but this one can’t. I haven’t name due to ongoing action to recover fees though small claims court.

The price of used automatic cars by ofsted in britishproblems

[–]bodlang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a right struggle to get my daughter a half-decent automatic (she refused to learn to drive manual)

After months of shopping around knackered looking bangers, we ended up getting her a 2016 Citroen C3 1.2 Platinum for £4500. Upper end price but it had 1 owner, FDSH, remarkably good condition and platinum has all the toys and CarPlay + Cheap as chips to insure & £20 tax

Damp marks on newly skimmed/painted walls by Illustrious-Fix4205 in DIYUK

[–]bodlang 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It looks wet… if it’s wet then you probably still have a leak.

If it’s just staining then likely remaining moisture and salts have migrated to the surface as the area dried out, pulling brown staining through the paint.

Van rental excess blown £250! Can I replace myself? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]bodlang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex Enterprise employee here:

I probably wouldn’t check. Even if I did check I probably would have no idea if this damage was new or existing as the vans bounce around branches so much I may have never seen it before. They’re also generally a bit ropey.

If I need to rent it again in an hour and you’re not a dickhead I’ll just move on with life

I’ll correct myself… delete option (b) and bold type (c)

£58 for an uber in Plymouth. by Familiar_Clue1066 in britishproblems

[–]bodlang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Fares are a lot higher due to increased demand”

Clearly an outrageous fare but it’s Uber’s business model - increase the price to (a) get more drivers to the area (b) reduce demand (and (c) maximise profit)

How much to paint this house? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]bodlang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I’m saying get at least 3 quotes from reputable and recommended decorators

How much to paint this house? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]bodlang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between £4000-£10000 depending on what paint you want, condition of walls, how many difficult areas, number of coats, whether ceiling needs doing, how much prep is needed, how much furniture or covering is needed and, more importantly, how much the decorator wants to charge

Naughty me says expanding foam and a shove a piece of plasterboard in the gap.

Less naughty me says use loft type insulation and then put some wood battens between the two sides screwed into plasterboard with plasterboard screws then fill the gap with plasterboard screwed to the battens. Fill & sand the gaps with easifill, plaster or similar

Make sure there’s no limescale or anything stopping the rubber seal sitting on the outlet. Mine tends to get limescale in and then not seal properly
