    [Misc] Scaffolding

    Being in the construction industry all my life, I’ve come across some real characters. One was a scaffolder, a giant of a man who had a really attractive petite wife. I asked him how the hell did he manage that and he replied “I’ve only got a tiny cock but I’ve got 22 stone to push it in with”

Or after the seven days did he wait 4.49999 billion years to create Adam & Eve and their incestuous family?,

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    Thanks, I had no idea they were paying that. My savings are tied up in stocks & shares ISA’s, Bonds and Sipp's, so I’ll just have to ride the storm. Swings and roundabouts.

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    Very true, I had a flat, in 1990, which probably had a value of £60k with a £50k mortgage but was earning £25.5k pa with a company car. My wife was earning about £18k pa. The 15% mortgage rate then would’ve generated interest of £7.5k pa which would’ve been approx 15% of our gross income...

    If house prices plummet, house builders will stop building, as their costs will stay the same and they won't accept a reduction in profit. Demand will then exceed supply, forcing prices back up.

    [News] Royal Mail what next?

    The trouble with Evri, in my experience, is the level of service offered. I only get deliveries and some of their drivers are excellent and manage to get parcels to the front door, but others, unfortunately the majority, just dump the parcels by the gate. Amazon are the same. Our Royal Mail...
