Just to be clear (to everyone), here are some reasons why threads with names are edited or deleted.

Tenant references are a joke.

by Hooper

I made two separate requests (one direct and one through a referencing company) for a landlord / agent reference for the same tenant at the same address.

I got two replies two days apart.

The first said they had always paid within 7 days of the payment date and that there had...

The underlay is the key.
At home I use cheap carpet (because of pets) over good underlay.

Typical lifetime of carpets

by davett

I've done some searching and I see people asserting that the typical lifetime of a carpet is between 5 and 7 years. My question is, has this been established in court or is it just general knowledge?...

Reply to MCOL & PCOL

by jpkeates

There was nothing about a default in the post I was responding to.
The post said that there had been a hearing, so if there was a default, it would have to be some kind of procedural issue.
If you don't turn up to defend a claim, there has to have been some kind of error in notification...

Reply to Typical lifetime of carpets

by AndrewDod

Most of my carpets in my own home (good quality) are 15+ years old and still, with care, look perfect.

Asking carpet people how often you need to replace your carpet is like asking a damp proofing installer whether you need damp proofing....

Reply to Tenant references are a joke.

by Hooper

With respect, the editing has changed the nature of my posts and title and it is not entirely clear to a reader what has and has not been edited. I am not happy with the posts or title as edited being attributed to me. I think the response a couple of posts up demonstrates that the edits have made it...
