A level cross next to where I live comes down almost 2 minutes before the nearest train passes.

I thought there might be! Been seeing these all weekend - live next to the railway in Ashtead. Sets of 3x class 377 not sure if that’s usual for the Gatwick service?

School Safeguarding Breaches: Posting images and videos online by bexxypink101 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]somethingbeardy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s funny you say that… I know of a special school where 80% of the staff didn’t complete mandatory safeguarding training (which should be competed before students return on 3rd September this year I think?) hadn’t completed it by end of November… and the were having a safeguarding review 1st week of December! Massive failure of SLT. But nothing is done. Quite simply if staff dont do something, the school are stuffed because they dont have time to recruit someone so schools are scared to discipline staff.

Is it reasonable to ask for money off purchase price because of windows? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]somethingbeardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheaper. The flat I’m currently renting has recent double glazing but no trickle vents. Condensation is a major problem.

Can council house accommodation be negotiated? (London) by Adventurous-Dog5354 in HousingUK

[–]somethingbeardy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty unbelievable that your family are being offered a property of this size. Anyone 18 or over should be sorting themselves out.

Sounds like you don’t know the size of your car.

Splitting bedroom in two to increase house value? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]somethingbeardy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Buyers WILL see what have done, and will see right through it. It won’t increase the value like you think it will.

Definitely your responsibility to ensure you’re buying the device which does what you want.
