Hello All you lovely Forum people,


I meet Bill and Sarah yesterday; the oweners of the 2 Eco builds in ED, at the Grand Designs Excel London. I had a chat to them about the excitment previously whipped up on this very site. They knew of 'us' and said that they couldn't believe how many of us wanted to go down for a tour.


I have it first hand that they WILL be running a tour of the two houses on Landells Road, just as soon as they get properly settled in and have the rest of their family and friends round!! Yipeee!!!!Just keep this between us lot on the forum because it doesn't extend to the rest of the country!! We should feel very priveledged.


Grand Designs were running a competetion yesterday for someone to WIN a trip round the house, but all ED Forum go-ers will be treated to this regardless of the competition!! more yipee!!


The couple both said that they were very touched by all the nice things said about them and their houses on the forum.


So I guess we watch this space for Talisman to annouce when we can all toop round to have a butchers.


Just don't forget the champagne!!!


(Excuse the over use of exclamation marks!!)

Well I'm disappointed that so many on the forum expressed a wish to have a gander round the two houses....and now no one seems interested?


I understand Keef, I too wouldn't mind a free jaunt to the islands in the Indian Ocean if it was on offer, but this 'prize' was at the Grand Designs expo yesterday, so obviously not a free holiday in sight.


Although a night out on the tiles with Kevin McCloud wouldn't be a bad offer! (sorry Mr MW74!)

dear forumers - we are still building HOUSE B and are also very manic with the media circus so bear with us awhile longer. Nice to meet some of you at the Grand Designs Live Show over the weekend - thanks for your feedback, hope you enjoyed the seminars. We will be making "tour" plans for the EDF shortly (both mine and Sarah's family have still not been invited to visit yet so you can tell how owerwhelmed we are by suppliers, business visitors, photographers, architects, etc!) FYI, we will be putting the second house up for sale v shortly with local estate agents Harvey Wheeler, so watch their window/website for full details, pics, plans and the PRICE. Keep in touch, regards: Talisman

    • I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.    
    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
