You gotta love this forum don't you?A thread about two women fighting becomes a discussion on brickwork and the likely age of when the houses were built!It's brilliant I love it
There are some nice places outside of Leeds but it`s not the place it used to be, I was brought up in Yeadon near Leeds and Bradford airport and it was regarded posh, even though it wasn`t but I wouldn`t move back there now, even though where I live isn`t great.
Leeds doesn`t get any higher than an E in the insurance ratings which speaks for itself.
In six years I`m mortgage free so I might be tempted to move east towards Beverley, some lovely places out that way. York is nice too but to much of a flood risk.
I have been thinking Ossett area, Wakefield.
One things for sure..that isn`t English bond
Correctstretcher bond ish
I only looked at one pic briefly
I should have looked more closely, my 26" pc screen's capacitors have spewed their guts
currently having to revert back to ye olde 15" till the 32" replacement restores my poor eyesight
If you are looking for some real class in the picture check out the finest northern brickie brickwork.
poor re-pointing ,100+ year old English bond ,
seen alot worse
and it's lasted 100+ years, bricks where not uniform back then,
I recently rebuilt my kitchen with period correct bricks ,not easy compared to modern, light,uniform bricks
and being a "brickie" involved little to no training
back then they threw walls up
better than 'some' of the crap sheds they put up today though
Nice
How much was that to hire, did they give you some points on how to operate it? Seen a property locally we like, but needs a fair bit of work. One of these would make it far easier for painting and sorting the guttering.
Also, lovely house
Love a period property like that, been eyeing a few up in the Leeds area.
I think that would be a good move for you. [highlight[Nice part of the country[/highlight]. Still got its traffic jams but as you say you get a lot of house for your money.
Not cheap for a budget brand.
Younger lads at work talk about their £100/150k mortgages e.g. amount borrowed & monthly payments. Some of their payments aren't much different from what I was paying late 80s/early 90s on a £22500 mortgage ..... but that was back when interest rates were up to 15%. For their sake, I hope interest rates never get anything like that again.
I remember that time,my mortgage doubled in what seemed like months
I actually paid 16.5% for the first year because I took out a 100% mortgage which came with a penalty of 1.5% for 12 months.
I used the deposit to buy a new Yamaha FJ1200.
NON LSD =l
LSD = l l
the black marks you leave on the tarmac after heinz acceleration
heinz acceleration = "giving it beans "
carltons and sennys (1986- 1994) saw the launch of ACT (advance chassis technology)
marketed with "puts the skids under it's rivals"
video clicky
the carlton/senny LSD required a special diff oil / additiveSame as the LSD on the Omega, some of the Ex Plod Omegas that the went into Private hands got screwed up this way, even if they went into a Vx Dealer for Servicing.
if un-serviced or left un-used for long periods the diff looses its LSD capability IIRC
worthy of a mention .just in case someone decides to retro-fit an lsd that's been sitting in storage since 1990
They weren't standard on Senators.
These MP's want to mind their own business

Being poor I wash my own cars.
You pay the 'illegals' £4 a pop to clean the Astra.
Being middle aged and anal, I also wash my own car, who knows what shit they use to get the dirt off, at least I know it's getting done right when I do it.
