My beloved employer has seen fit to spent £299 on a Pewter 'Smokers'
Outpost.

Very similar to the item displayed here:

http://www.dawginc.com/industrial-sa...receptacle.php
- Scroll down to item GPR10609 about 2/3 down the page.

I could think of better ways to spend £299. They could have left the
original ash-tray outside, for example.

Moisturisers? Eeh lad, use Swarfega or barrier cream like the rest of

Er, swarfega is an anti-moisturiser! Dries my skin out something
rotten it does.

ITYF it's just that you're over-sensitive in some specific regards.

It's OE with quote fix, it sometimes throws a wobbly but it doesn't manifest

I can't think of anywhere else in the UK I'd prefer to live.

We have no children, so no-one to leave the house to.

It'll either be:

Flog it and move to something smaller and cheaper
Flog it and move abroad
or
Equity Release.

Steve's statement reminds me of the marketing bollocks that Cardiff
University spouts to potential students from China. Promising them a
"capital city experience". Many of them seem a little disappointed when
they find that there is no West End, Rive Gauche etc.

I wasn't as specific as that - being too specific with your own area
against a rather large city is a pretty good way of manipulating the
figures.
