And another... Wordle 1,252 2/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Means 3.66 / 3.59 (2024) Streaks 38 / 239 Played 882 / 312

Woodbourne on Ditchling Road opposite the golf course. I've been using them for 3 years. I'm sure others on here have used them longer, though.

I'd be very careful about renting / buying a mobile home. There are some absolute sharks owning those sites. You only have to read Private Eye's stories about Alfie Best to realise that. I know someone who lived in one in Lancing ( not a Wyldcrest site) and my aunt and uncle lived in one over in...

They seem to be pinning most of their hopes on getting housebuilding going by reforming the planning system (& not actually giving it a lot more resources) and building infrastructure. Don't know where all the builders will come from without undoing Brexit and they will have to find a way of...

Ignore

But I like your flights of fancy when you do.

You don't need planning permission to change the deeds. If the farmhouse was the original and there's not been planning permission to build new homes or other non- agricultural buildings or create new planning units, there are unlikely to be planning conditions restricting the occupier of a home...

Not bad, but could have been better if I'd rigidly stuck to my rules. Wordle 1,251 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Means 3.67/ 3.60 (2024) Streaks 37 / 239

No, you need to make a spreadsheet using Google Sheets, MS Excel or similar.

Good post. Farmers and other landowners should be paid for reducing flooding but I don't think that Defra included it in the Environmental Land Management system.

This is a storyline in The Archers at the moment. Tony Archer wants to build a Passivhaus on the family farm to retire into and his 2 irritating children (& possibly a currently absent grandchild) will be grappling with the implications of who moves into the vacated farmhouse. Nobody in the...

That's my first 2 in a while, too. Wordle 1,250 2/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Means 3.67 / 3.6 (exactly - 2024) Streaks 36 / 239.

Much to my amusement and her consternation, MrsBC was 'asked' to compere an online men's health seminar this afternoon for her large organisation. She tried to argue that if the boot was on the other foot, many women would be offended and less likely to attend a women's health seminar hosted by...

Mrs BC buys organic lamb directly from a farm near Sheffield Park for £9 or £10 / kg which she says is far superior to anything available in the shops here. And I'm happy because it keeps her away from 'Butcher Boy' in Barfields (which @Brovion will be pleased to hear).

Hmm, I'm not sure about tumbling. There'll still be huge incentives to buy agricultural land with the prospect of selling it for housing. IHT rates will be half of the rates for non-agricultural land and payable over 10 years, not straight away. And there are other ways to make money from...

Worth listening to Guy Singh-Watson (Riverford Organics) on this subject. He was interviewed on World at One today (starts at 18:23). Also summarised in his article in this week's vegbox. He recommends increasing the IHT threshold to £7m (& tax rate to 40%) and removing the CGT loophole that...

Lucky I managed my expectations when I saw the "you've won a prize" email on Saturday morning. Dreams of a flat in Putney and a new bicycle evaporated when I discovered I'd won £2.90, not the £127m I'd hoped for.

Ms BC was visiting for 'reading week' last week so I was browbeaten into putting it on. Now she has returned to her centrally heated University flat in the snowy north, I'm fighting a rearguard action by gradually lowering the thermostat temperature, turning radiators down and reducing the hours...

Mrs BC and I were discussing going for a long weekend to a northern European city to celebrate her birthday. Problem is, it's in the run-up to the C word. The likelihood of a C*******s market was the deciding factor for staying at home. I've now got to find somewhere 'nice' to stay.
