Massive investment going into Liverpool superport...less goods will be coming from Europe from now on!

[islandgirl]

Although I agree about Grayling I think we now realize there is no need for the additional ferries so this is a win win.

What "issues" other than he likes the fairly popular hobby of fishkeeping? I don't do flats (and may feel different if I did) but if someone had these in my rental property I would be inclined to let them stay as long as the house and garden were being well cared for. However I have to confess...

[islandgirl]

Wonder what happened in the end...maybe we will never know!

[islandgirl]

and after that paint has dried, they'll paint it whatever colour they like because they know that it will cost you a hell of a lot more to get them out than it will to decorate a hallway.
True but even a tenant who seems perfect prior to getting into the house could do that...LLing is a gamble...

[islandgirl]

Thank you - that makes a lot of sense JP (but not everything that does comes to pass as we well know!). The only thing would be I suppose that tenants will have to keep it updated - even a reference a month old is out of date - tenant may have lost his job in the meantime!

[islandgirl]

I have only ever charged cost price for professional credit checks to the tenants and obviously won't even be able to do that now. I assume Tenantverify and other companies will have a process which allows tenants to submit all the info to them but the invoice for the check and the results to come to...

none payment will result in a day out at the magistrates court

[islandgirl]

Fair enough but as you might imagine I am far more optimistic - and with family links to farming I am not worried. Time will tell...but only if we get a good clean Brexit and not a partial fudge. That will be a disaster....

[islandgirl]

or, after an extremely short period of adjustment, will our economy be better than it would have been if we were shackled to the EU?

[islandgirl]

I think we have actually found something we agree on JP!

[islandgirl]

You may or may not be correct JP but it will certainly focus the thinking of the Conservatives as The Brexit Party have the potential to take all their Eurosceptic votes (and indeed the votes of those who supported Leave in the Labour heartlands).After all it was fear of UKIP that created the Referendum...

[islandgirl]

I agree the EU do not have to give us concessions to stop us leaving without a deal. However they may be minded to do so if it is in their interest. They will most certainly not give us anything if we have already said we will not walk away - any business person (or anyone who has made a major purchase)...

[islandgirl]

Or simply say no. You take the property as it is or not at all. I would let them paint the hall provided it is done professionally and at their cost (if it is discoloured) and a colour mutually agreed upon. Refuse everything now and they will not try it on later. If they are good otherwise I would probably...

Police won't be interested in my opinion

[islandgirl]

Yes JP that leaflet :
No other country has managed to secure significant access to the Single Market, without having to:
• follow EU rules over which they have no real say
• pay into the EU
• accept EU citizens living and working in their country"
Leavers do...

[islandgirl]

That would be correct if Parliament had not enshrined in law the date we leave. From Full Fact: "If the UK requested an extension of this process, the Article 50 deadline could be extended for a specified period of time, but only if each and every one of the 27 other EU member states agreed. The...

[islandgirl]

Cameron made it clear - voting to leave is voting to leave the single market and customs union. There was no confusion, no matter how much those who wish to remain try to sell the idea. I read my leaflet - you remember the one that dropped through everyone's door? The one that said it was a once in...

[islandgirl]

I agree the world was a different place but I see that as meaning we have even greater opportunities now than then. Unions are no longer overpowerful and taxation is (ho hum) "reasonable". We don't want to go back but forwards in a way which suits us (not Germany and France)*and make the most...

Mid 50s here but in addition to my damp lettuce munching self there is a 60 year old, 22 year old and 2 late teens all think exactly the same - No Deal! Interestingly enough pupils from one of my offspring's 6th form college were interviewed for a radio item yesterday and there were plenty of leavers...
