Dishoom hate is so forced, it’s a reliably good option. Not worth queuing sure but never had a bad meal there
Oxford pedestrianisation is very clearly the right decision, at busy times it’s borderline usable due to how busy the streets are. Really hope it’s done right in the long term because there’s a lot of potential.
Incredibly annoying that GP wants a appointment to get a case history just to refer me, which means I have to wait three weeks and take time off work just so that they can forward a letter on basically.
I do think it’s a shame people don’t host more, like obviously it can be a lot of effort and expensive but it’s a lot of fun and a little bit of a lost art
Me when the government treats my second home as a second home
How is it justifiable, a couple meet, one bought a small flat before knowing each other … they now want to buy a family home and because it’s deemed a second home for one of them, they’ll now have to pay stamp duty.
So they choose a small 3 bedroom terraced house to start a family priced at £550,000. As well as a deposit of 10% £55,000 they’ll also have to pay stamp duty of £45,000
So total not including legal fees
=£100,000
Penalising a young couple just because one bought a small flat first.
The U.K. is anti life progression!
And people wonder why birth rates are so low, relationships struggle to last or many feel hopeless even when doing everything they were advised to do when young-not relying on benefits, studying, getting a job.
