    Not sure I'd want decking ... I bet it rots after a few years, I've heard they can become rat homes ... and, I bet, they're slippery when wet and require annoying annual maintenace.

    Without decking, I can simply carry my £3.50 folding chair outside and plonk it down without any of those worries :)

    I'm getting a feeling that a joke about women and decking won't be too far down the thread from here..... :whistle:

    How do you know what knickers your clients wear?
    What sort of business are you really running?

    And with raised eyebrows at the idea that you can get away with annual maintenance, perhaps a joke about men in retort?

    What matters is girth, jelly.
    If you're still confused, drop me a PM.

    This bit of house hunting's 5h1t. You've seen pretty pictures, requested details - and have no idea if you'll really like them, if somebody's already put in a good offer, or if your offer will be enough. :(

    I can relate to this.
    I'm not looking at a house (atm). However, I'm looking to upgrade my car. Decided on what I want. I'm going for a nearly new, as a 2 year old car is pretty much 45% of the forecourt price.
    To make sure it is what I want, went to a showroom to have a proper check. Really liked it, & now have the dichotomy of really wanting it now, but also thinking it'd be good to wait til after christmas.

    So, you don't need to worry about visitor parking spaces, at least. We can park outside on the road when we all visit to party!.
    Fixed it for you GDB:)

    I'm trying a new way to find areas I might be interested in - and promptly found another bizarre one.

    It's SSTC at £209,950 - so I went off to look at sold prices and it was bought for £200k in June 2013.
