I have dealt with Ant Supplies in the past and found them A1 Saying that, two RFDs I regularly used have died during this Pandemic. Neither was Covid AFAIK

Its my belief that a lot of landlords don't declare their rental income to the tax man. Round here I would say it could be as high as 50% There are several well established ruses to circumvent the tax man, Absentee landlords who live abroad (or claim to live abroad) is the commonest but there are many others

Plus you missed out that the legal aid solicitors defending these cases create delays and adjournments out of thin air. I would be cynical and say its just to boost their own fees because that seems to be the outcome.

It wasn't hard to do that a few years ago when they were handing out buy to let mortgages to anyone who applied find a house, buy it on a BTL mortgage, find a tenant, the rent pays the mortgage, then you go and get another house and another BTL mortgage and repeat.

You would be surprised what councils and citizen's advice will tell a tenant to do or say. Usually its not the council its CA because why would a private tenant go to the council about a rent increase when its nothing to do with the council?

My view generally is that the problems are being held back artificially because people are paying their rent out of the furlough schemes and support schemes from the chancellor. My guess is it will be like standing on a beach watching the tide go out once it starts

They are always hanging about our sailing lake, usually in the early morning. The popular opinion is that they are after the ducks and geese but im sure they are after the crayfish and if so they are welcome to them

My friend died a couple of years ago and an old British bike he had sitting in his garage was sold, The new owner couldn't register the bike without a load of hassle even though they had the log book, old MOTs etc. There seems to be a policy of non co-operation at Swansea these days

Unfortunately, its harder to do that these days because most half decent sites are fully booked in the summer well in advance. Sometimes a year in advance in Cornwall. You do need access to an electrical hookup if you want to take advantage of the creature comforts. Its not that easy to just wing it either, in Cornwall virtually every layby and carpark have signs saying no overnight parking. Bored police will take great delight in waking you up at 4am to move you on.

Have you tried Tyres Direct?

I had the A-Z jab yesterday, absolutely no effects afterwards. Not even a slightly sore arm

There are lots of pictures of Trump and Epstein together at different times. And Trump and Maxwell, thats all a matter of record

Some years back we had a young woman join our team, she had just got married and moved to be with her new husband. In five years she was virtually never at her desk, she had three children, each pregnancy involved lots of time off "resting", Then she had maternity leave and lots of other excuses. She was a nightmare when she was at work too

My son had something similar with a pair of expensive trainers he bought from a well known high st sports retailer. They fell apart but the shop point blank refused to give him his money back. We took it to trading standards but they wouldn't get involved because it was under £200

No but funnily enough we were reading the menu outside on the wall last summer and saying we really ought to try it one evening for a meal One of our favourites for lunch is the Heron just up the river from there

No South Wales is a very good mix, the Gower is lovely. Its the best kept secret holiday destination because most people think like you You don't need Michelin starred restaurants when you have Taffy's Cafe in Mountain Ash

Sandbanks hotel is very good I have a place in Cornwall so well set up for the summer. Just joined the yacht club in Fowey so hope to do some sailing this year

Protesters outside a vaccine centre in CA trying to block / intimidate people going in to get their jabs

very good

Interesting new book on Trump coming out ‘The perfect target’: Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy | Donald Trump | The Guardian thats going to cause some discussion

IF you are in a union but that is a rapidly shrinking percentage of the work force as a whole. More is the pity, the unions fought hard over many years to establish workers rights but people don't want to pay £2.50 a week to be a member.

I was amazed how much that Greta Thunberg earned each year for being a shouty kid with weird eyes on social media. This was before most of us had ever heard of her.

In America they would get twenty years and a free jar of vaseline every two weeks for what they did.

Telegraph this morning AstraZeneca’s vaccine production site in Belgium was raided yesterday at the request of the European Commission, as Brussels continued to heap pressure on the British company over delays in jab deliveries. Belgian officials from the country’s medicines regulator inspected the factory on Wednesday afternoon after the pharmaceutical giant blamed production problems at the plant for a shortfall in vaccine supplies to the bloc. Brussels suspects that AstraZeneca may have sold reserved EU vaccine stock to other non-EU countries, including Britain, which paid more for the jabs. The Commission has launched unprecedented public attacks against AstraZeneca over the past few days and the raid is seen as another example of the EU heaping pressure on the company. Brussels has demanded millions of AstraZeneca vaccines made in Britain be diverted to the EU but the company said British orders had to be fulfilled first before supplies could be switched. It has also threatened an export ban on EU-produced vaccines, jeopardising the UK’s supply of the Pfizer jab. The Belgian Health Minister said that the raid was carried out on behalf of the commission. It was aimed at proving whether or not AstraZeneca’s explanation for the failure in supply was genuine. A European Commission spokesman confirmed the inspection. “We do not comment on the scope, on why it's been undertaken and what has been audited,” the spokesman said, before refusing to answer if Brussels had ordered the raid. Officials from Belgium’s medicines regulator are expected to have drawn up a report on their findings in the next few days. A spokesman said: "Belgian experts are now examining the elements that were collected, together with experts from the Netherlands, Italy and Spain." The AstraZeneca CEO, Pascal Soriot, and the European Commission held a meeting last night. The commission said afterwards that it wanted a clear plan for the rapid delivery of the vaccines it had reserved for the first quarter of the year. EU officials have said that AstraZeneca has only offered a quarter of the jabs promised, which they claim is in breach of contract. AstraZeneca denies this, which has led to calls on the company to agree to the confidential contract to be made public. Brussels insists the EU contract does not allow the company to prioritise supplies from its two British factories for the UK. Kim Van Sparrentak, who is on the EU's Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, told the Today programme on Thursday: “The problem is that there is a contract with AstraZeneca. They have promised us a certain amount of doses and they are not able to deliver. "Based on these promises, we have rolled out vaccination programmes in 27 countries and the most vulnerable people were able to finally breathe again, to have the feeling 'OK we will get the vaccine soon' and now the planning is completely being jeopardised so we need clarity and that's why I think transparency is most important." Commission: We expect that we can and will get UK-made doses
