  1. Go to zoopla.co.uk enter your postcode and you'll find sold prices, plus estimated current value.

     

    Concur with vipa, you'll struggle getting your £99 fee back. Assume you signed an application form, which contains a highlighted box clearly stating a non refundable booking fee is payable.

     

    You might try getting the valuers name and contact number, as they generally work on behalf of several mortgage companies, so you may continue to fall fowl of their opinion.

     

    I wish you luck.

  2. Quick update, just checked the propagator and I've signs of life from the F1's and habanero, awesome.

     

    Wished I'd saved some naga seeds from last years Gower chilli festival, as I'd love to have a go at growing them.

  3. Couldn't get your link to work so try this one http://www.autopot.co.uk/easy2grow-kit-detail

     

    I've not used the system, but am currently using a heated propagator to bring on various chilli seeds. They look like a good idea to help water and supply nutrients, to young and mature plants, but maybe not chilli seeds. As they need heat and humidity to germinate.

     

    This morning the first shoots of my bell peppers have poked through, after 2 weeks, but the apache F1's, scotch bonnets and habanero are taking their sweet time. Can be upto 6 weeks!!!

     

    Recommend this website for tips on growing chillies http://www.thechilliking.com/

     

    Good luck

  4. Coming soon. RichardH has worked his magic on the barrels, which needed quite some sanding back. Unfortunately an abusive previous owner had stripped all of the colour hardening from the action, which can't be put back on without great expense. So this weekend, the action is getting a good polish. Hopefully she'll be back together next week and I'll post some pics shortly.

  5. The La Paz came in a nice wooden box, which is tightly sealed and they've done really well not living in a humidor. In fact they've mellowed a bit and taste better now, than last May when I bought them.

     

    The online company I'm thinking of using is Holland cigar house, any views on them?

  6. Again similar to above, having recently left a large high street bank (lloyds) where they have a very strict Internet and email usage policy. I would deem him to have broken the rules and is in direct breach of these conditions, if sent via a company email address.

     

    Shoe on the other foot, what if you'd sent an email around with a shooting related topic, say air rifle ban in Scotland!! He takes umbridge to this topic, does he A. discuss it with you directly, B. what happens in the world of save your own backside, he consults HR and you receive a written warning etc etc.

     

    Or C. you save said email for a future 1-2-1 and out it comes including the HR policy. Automatic payrise and promotion, was it!!!

     

     

  7. Had the option when I bought my mk38 sporter, of new at £1300 or secondhand at £850 like new. Needless to say I spent the remaining £450 on cartridges, glasses, cleaning kit, vest, bag etc etc.

     

    Obviously buyer beware on any secondhand purchase and if you're not happy walk away.

     

    Good luck with which ever way you decide.

  8. Hello all you ceegar smokers, I'm after some help as to who you use!!

     

    Bought a box of 50 La Paz Wilde cigarros in duty free last year and really want to purchase the same ones. Found a site online that has them, but they're based abroad, which doesn't fill me with confidence.

     

    So have any of you used an online company and who'd you recommend??

     

    Thanks in advance
