won’t be donating to RNLI anymore. (wife is a volunteer there) as found out they have given over £2.000.000 away overseas to ‘educate’ and provide swimwear /lessons etc . If a UK charity can pass on such sums not dedicated to its functioning. .Then clearly does not need my offerings! T hought UK overseas aid budget ( billions) ought to have been enough already. still never heard of a charity yet that can get enough funds .. so is RNLI only one over supported ?
just saying hi. old member but still alive and kicking. hope room keep going as apart from the normal? idiots you get in chat rooms. there are some nice pleasant users . luckily they have a sense of humour ( deals with me well) nice to hear From Martin. Good luck over pond.
house prices will always rise as demand due to population increases always outstrips supply. there will be a time when sizes of home are restricted eg flats and when food rationing comes in ( eventually due to world demand to feed its billions) family growth might be stifled .eg no support for breeding . sea change but too late to affect house prices now. investors will alway s push up prices anyway. many buy housing purely for income streams as as they get richer they buy still more ..you try seeing what interest you get on say £500.000 in savings versus owing a property for same value in right area ! you can understand why so many want to buy! if we had a system that prevented anybody ( private or business but not pension funds) owning more than say 4 homes.. and stopped population expansion by removing rewards for breeding..we might start to see prices stabilise and even reduce.
1st. jab .day after chest pains ( felt like lungs inflamed and painful ) lasted 2 days. avoided calling an ambulance or going to A &E . 2nd jab with same vaccine = zilch side effects. 🤗
