Locally crime stats are pretty variable once you get down to the 200m level of granularity. Just because there are a couple of incidents in 1 quarter doesn't imply any sort of trend.
However if the price of first property was reasonable then does this one seem cheap? If it is there is normally a reason...I think....0 -

Houses are more than just photographs and statistics. You should trust yourself to go and create your own thoughts and feelings.
I took a driveby. It's all shabby and dated.... and very edgy.... not good at all.0 -

You could probably get the parking situation sorted with a few phonecalls to the council enforcement people. People learn lessons quickly with a parking ticket!Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I've just struggled to get back from dropping the car for its MOT over the other side of Croydon. Took forever as there's a broken train near Clapham/Balham that's added an hour onto an already long journey.
When I was walking to the station I was idly reading signs in shop windows. One shop, a solicitors specialised in "Crimal Law". A beauticians offered "Threading and Trimimg".
So DG don't go feeling bad about spelling- there's clearly people who's job depends on it and can't be bothered/never check things/don't care/don't listen or maybe simply don't know.:)There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

The Girl's teacher seems to throw apostrophes at the writing and leave the one's that s'tick.
Bloody exhausted again. The pain is going down nicely though, especially considering it's only been two weeks. It still hurts but nothing like as much. A lot of the numb areas have feeling again too although my ear is still completely numb. I was told to expect that to last for months.0 -

A long time ago, when I was at school, we had to do a project based around reading an autobiography. One girl in my class did Gladys Aylward, and spelt the name Glady's throughout. I think she thought an apostrophe was just a random mark that should be put before the s at the end of any word ending with one!Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
No magnolia in my garden, unlike maggie.
. We planted one but an ash branch fell in it and sliced it in two, the chances must have been infinitesimal.....
But I bought this year a forest pansy. Its past its best now. But here is a close up...
It flowers all up its trunk and branches, its very gaudy but welcome on a grey very early spring day and IMO a welcome blast of a less easily achieved colour at that time of year.0
