Reply | McKenna reported to be in boardroom at West Ham yesterday
at 12:12 15 Sep 2025
If he was there, could he not have been there as a guest of Tottenham for whom he used to work?
Visiting clubs (Tottenham at West Ham in this case), are afforded a number of guest 'tickets' including in the directors area etc.
Just a thought. |

It will be perfect for you and your family to watch the Town match.
There is a bar adjacent to the pool that had two televisions - this is where my wife and I watched the match - although there is another room at the rear (behind the pool) that some people watched the British Grand Prix.
Enjoy the ice cold Mythos! |

This bar is near Troullos and showed the F1 on Sky when I was in Skiathos a few weeks ago.
10 to 15 minute walk from bus stop 18. |

Congratulations!
Just as an aside, when they contacted you this morning and it was agreed your offer has now been accepted, was it also agreed that the property would be taken off the market? |

Thank you for this post.
Your first paragraph absolutely nails Evans tenure as owner of our football club. |

It may be exempt if the works are over four years old.
However, the fact that the works may have been carried out more than four years ago doesn't provide the proposed purchaser (the OP) with any peace of mind that the works have been carried out competently.
The fact that there is no record of any building regulations submission, approval document, or completion certificate for the works, together with the vendor's 'vagueness' about providing answers to the prospective purchaser of his/her/their property, would set alarm bells off for me - whether the matter is exempt or not.

Reply | Any Coffee Snobs Around?
at 11:21 18 Jun 2025
Old School Coffee is a small coffee shop/cafe in Beccles. Had one of the best coffees I've had in a long time there a week or so ago and, on my experience, would definitely recommend others to give it a try.
To help anyone that might be interested in going there the address is 33a Newgate, and is a two/three minute walk from Wetherspoons in the town centre - everyone knows where Wetherspoons is in Beccles!
Oh, and for clarity, I have no affiliation at all with Old School Coffee coffee shop. |

My understanding relating to the building regulations matters is that any work that includes structural alterations, such as the removal of internal structural (load-bearing) walls, will require approval under the building regulations.
As part of the process building control will require structural calculations to have been prepared by a suitably qualified structural engineer and for this information to be submitted as part of the building regulations process. The structural calcs will be checked for compliance and will be referenced within the building regulations approval granted.
During the works, the building control officer will carry out site visits at certain stages through the construction phase and will certainly wish to inspect the installation of the steelwork to ensure the correct sized beam(s) and any required support (structural posts and/or padstones) have been installed correctly. Furthermore, any structural steelwork supporting structure above should be suitably fire-protected. Again, this would be checked by the building control officer during the construction phase.
I don't know the house in question but if the wall(s) removed is, or was, a structurally load-bearing wall and the owner/seller of the property carried out the work without securing approval under the building regulations, then I'm not sure that property would be for me personally.
But we're all different and hopefully the OP will be comfortable when making their final decision. However, as one or two others have said, just a reduction in the offer price for the property might not be adequate financially to repair the property should it be found necessary to do so. Furthermore, I wonder if any insurance taken out on the building by the new owner (the OP - should he/she buy it) would be valid if it was shown it was known the works carried out was done so without building regs approval.
Apologies for long reply. |

Vic and Dennis Last had the fish and chip shop at the bottom of the hill in Snape, with the village shop next door to it.
They did also have a fish and chip van that used to do the rounds round the villages.
Happy days back then.
I will be seeing Vic's son this coming weekend and I'll try and remember to point him in the direction of this thread - he'll laugh like a good 'un!  |

Reply | New garage up and over door
at 15:00 16 Apr 2025
I used Alldoors in Ipswich approximately 4 years ago and am very happy to recommend them.
Single garage door opening width in size, electric, roller shutter door, operated by a remote control fob or by a switch on the control panel inside the garage.
Is fitted with a sensor to stop if anything is "in the way" when closing.
The door was supplied with a cranked handle so that the door can be opened manually from inside the garage in case of power cut/loss of supply etc. (I have a second personnel door at the rear).
Cost in 2021 was £1,350 supplied and fitted.
Hope this helps. |

Well, on my desktop I keep getting the TWTD page I'm looking at suddenly turn to a "warning" page that the site I'm on is considered unsafe. The following is at the top of my screen if it's of any help.

On my Android I also get the BT pop up, just like Benters.
Been happening a week or so now. |
