Well, that was fun!

That floor hasn't been in place for a very very long time, if it's still not there! I wonder if some structural problem has been found, or if they have run out of money?

This is tomorrow! It is a friendly social meetup to get to know other forum members over drinks. You can arrive and leave at any time from 7pm onwards. We will put a "forum drinks" notice on one of the tables so that hopefully you can't miss us! It is not to discuss forum matters (unless you want to), and you don't have to divulge your forum name (unless you want to). Should you be worried, so far there have been no fisticuffs, just friendly chats, so hopefully it will stay that way! Looking forward to seeing new and "old" faces! Do message me if you have any questions! Sorry about the strange formatting, I posted this in the events section by mistake, and it went a bit weird when I tried to copy it over.

Yes. Appalling.

A rolled up newspaper? In case you were attacked and needed to hit your attacker over the head? Good luck with that 🤣 I don't think 50 years ago I was watching the telly much..... Can't remember if I even had one, tbh 🤣

Sorry, I'm confused. What is?

Well I am a driver, but I've never heard of a "two second rule"! Possibly because I passed my test over half a century ago, before videos existed 🤣 But it's just common sense, surely?

That's interesting. I assumed it wasn't going to stay as a retail unit, given the years of ongoing work. I assumed it was going to be either an extension to the mosque or a residential building.

Brexit, I presume. Effing disastrous.

What is the two second rule?

Do you have a link?

I've been wondering the same, as I haven't seen any builders there recently. As you say, the work there had been going on for years, but it never seemed to get any nearer completion, and it looked like the cellar had been excavated. Once there was concrete being piped in, but that was possibly a few years back. I miss the grocer. They used to sell good quality garlic and ginger, really cheaply.

There must be a great many extremely poor drivers around if you see so many of them ignoring or failing to see signs indicating a school street. What sort of daily numbers are you talking about, and how much is a "bucket load" of cash?

I am no expert by any means, but I wonder first if Foxtons belong to any kind of professional (I use the term loosely) body you could complain to, and second, if you have any grounds to take them to the small claims court. I am surprised and sorry that none of the people you have asked for help could actually help. To be fair, though, re the oven, they have offered to reimburse you for an air fryer, it is the weekend so probably difficult to get someone out to look at it, and they seem to be addressing that problem at least pretty promptly? Do you have a grill and hob and kettle working OK? Also, is it not the owner's responsibility to address issues such as the mould and the bath? Shouldn't Foxtons be liaising with them about this? Oh, and this is not intended to be a joke - try asking ChatGPT (or similar) what you can do. It saves hours of googling stuff online yourself.
