That’s raises another aspect that occurs to me - how would ‘caretaker’ know that the roofer his neighbour uses is a decent one, (unless of course he has a hand in the selection), would the neighbour be prepared to take responsibility for any damage caused to caretaker’s side of the property...

I’ve stuck to my childhood preferences too - cowboy outfit usually.

Radio Times, though don’t ask me why! and one son-in-law ocassionally donates a two-week-old The Week as the crossword keeps me out of the way for 3 or 4 days.

I see your point but from the OP it sounds as if this has rather been sprung on ‘caretaker‘ after the neighbour has made a decision to replace their roof (I could be wrong there, there’s not enough info), I would never do that without a prior discussion with a neighbour. Then if they want their...

I would have thought a decent neighbour would swallow the whole cost as the job is probably going to cause you some inconvenience but of course that takes no account of personal financial situations and current relationships. I certainly wouldn’t expect to contribute much anyway.

McCartney is top of my list - mind you I drew it up about 50 years ago.

Sacha Baron Cohen gives a good performance in The Spy /Netflix based on the life of Eli Cohen who infiltrated the Syrian government in the early 60s. Worth a watch.

I‘m sure you’re right, I went into “settings” once and had to have a lie down after seeing all the options 🤯, I’ll get one of the grand-kids to sort it out later…

The light on my LG tv stays on after I switch it off via the remote, as far as I know there’s no other way to switch off other than at the mains. I’m told this is a common ’stand by’ feature in modern devices. Fortunately my wife rarely visits this room and anyway is more concerned about dust on...

I have briefly queried this on the web and have results such as below which seems to indicate replacement of kitchen could be covered by building insurance (depending on the insurer) I don’t know the answer but would be interested in further views. ’Insurance policies usually consider fixtures...

I don’t know if I’ll even bother to contact Nationwide to negotiate, I find this practice deplorable and it’s fairly painless to switch these days.
