Everything is against the dollar. The Fed just raised rates by 0.75% and plan to keep aggressively rising over short term. Post pandemic payback is coming and it’s going to be painful for everyone. Money printing, post pandemic demand/supply issues and the war has led to massive inflation...

I’ve not heard that but they’re likely to have a better knowledge than me on the subject so I can’t counter ! I’d make the point about pushing a bill through parliament that stops ECHR overruling our courts decision. Not sure if that was covered or if I got the wrong end of the stick but from...

But from memory (and I might be wrong) by leaving the EU it would leave the door open to leave the ECHR* ? Remaining in the EU would mean no chance. That’s how the government may well play it *when I say leaving I should’ve said allowing them to overrule our courts. Again from memory there was...

I don’t think you’re wrong sick boy. It certainly helps provide the government with anti EU ammunition at a critical time for them and in a way, rightly so. whether people agree with the policy or not* the ECHR shouldn’t be overruling our courts on such matters. * If it was going to act as a...

Southgate out 😊

I can’t get too excited about poor performances at the moment. Players look tired and yet have had to cram in four internationals in a couple of weeks after no break, without the buzz of a proper tournament to lift them. As much as I hate the fact that Qatar bribed and lied their way to the...

What a final sessions play !!! Unbelievable cricket

Yeah, there’s been plenty of chances that could’ve changed the game. Pleased for Pope and Lees to get big scores. Roots just a machine !

Agreed. He turns the ball a lot more although they keep saying he bowls too slow at test level don’t they. Only one way to find out

Massive missed chance with Mitchell yesterday. I had a bad feeling at the time and it’s played out that way. Need a decent spinner and one of the proper quicks back really

There is a limited area of land on which to build and if you have more parking there is less floor space available to build apartments as there are height restrictions. It therefore becomes uneconomic to build if you can’t utilise the area for flats rather than unnecessary parking. This is not a...

Two per flat though, even in the old days, no chance. As I say, around Birmingham these days many developments don’t even have one per flat. We also live in a time when car ownership is changing, especially around town/city centres.

No, I’m Birmingham and my mates North west

My mates never come across two spaces per flat requirement and he’s got a few developments up there and neither have I down here. I’ve lived in a few flats around city centre and many don’t even have one per flat these days as a lot of people who live in centres don’t have/want cars as they’re...

Agree with some of this but my point is that there needs a number of things addressed as we have a shortage of all types of housing stock for a variety of reasons. my best mate has got a build to rent business (booooo ! I know). They’ve been trying to get something through planning in the north...

By all accounts rents are up as there’s now a shortage of rental stock available and due to changes in tax laws a few years back. There’s probably a bigger issue with second home/holiday rental properties which aren’t ever going to be fully utilised all year round and I think are now more...

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. We’ve got this fixation which I understand is different to a lot of other countries. First priority should be that everyone has got a roof over their heads whether they own it or not

100% agree. Unless there’s a surplus why would you diminish the amount of stock available ?? I’ve got no issue with people buying their council house, especially if they have lived there for a number of years and/or want to remain there after maybe getting themselves into a position where they...

This made me chuckle.., bondholder: Agree especially with the last bit. Failing that CCFC are talking about building a new stadium in the future. At 35m this is a gift by comparison £35m ?!…Might be a tad optimistic. I presume they haven’t looked into SISU and how they do business !!!

As a saints fan I’m thinking we might’ve swerved one here !
