Do you mean the Young Offenders' place?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

snooze---cheap shots from behind a keyboard...easy isn't it.It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -

Indeed - I'm a Tory Councillor, who works for Amnesty International.Still get irritated having to explain that rights are not "owned" by the left. However much they'd like to.
The origins of the UDHR (Universal Declaration of Rights) are actually quite interesting - Eleanor Roosevelt brokering a deal between American/Western desires for protection of what are termed -ve rights (freedom "from", torture, imprisonment, etc) in exchange for Communist protection of what are termed +ve rights - right to food, shelter, health.
You'll actually find "the right to freedom of choice of education" in there, somewhere, although these days that seems a little controversial in blighty....;) or was that another thread...0 -
