@John_Stepek @Finumus1 Client did an eleven flat development in N1. Eight HongKong buyers and three Middle Eastern.

@John_Stepek @Finumus1 It’s a “buy to leave” asset. Consider the owner’s home currency conversion when working out if it lost value. But it’s likely safer than in a bank in their home country.

@MouseInTheCourt Noted. Have you ever seen a judge do this before? It must be quite rare.

@robhetherington @Bobby_Brozi @dontdelay You’ll never win on X you know, coming here and quoting accurate facts! It’ll never catch on.

@reformexposed @Nigel_Farage I hope this is what I hope this is. But I doubt it is. It’ll be some attempt to shift the attention, won’t it?

@Stsantek @DAaronovitch If you don’t help countries in such need then you drive more of their people to become refugees.

@rorysutherland Chap leaving on Saturday night took time to compliment them on how lovely and clean the gents loo was. I’ve always said, it’s the sort of pub where you feel you need to tidy up after yourself as you leave - in a good way.

@IanCallaway352 @Deal_Town @coastmag @bbcsoutheast @BBCRadioKent @metoffice @StormHour @outdoor_swimmer @AtBarristers I tried a swim there today, but kept bumping into jellyfish, so I got out. Do they sting in any meaningful way?

@MartinSLewis This might be useful to understand the dynamics. It’s not all price gouging. https://t.co/wJmV5NDArd

@billwells_1 @MartinSLewis @chris9181 This is, of course, the sensible counterpoint. Evan Davies did an interview with somone who ran a fuel station which explained this. Shrinking margins when the fuel price goes up. Sometimes the price can’t go straight down as they bought the current fuel stock at a higher price.

@hugorifkind @ARLinklater Had some time listening to a young lad making phone calls recently. In one hour he code switched three times, talking to his father (in English with heavy accent of his dad’s home country), his boss (straight forward posh English) and his mates (MLE). All social constructs.

@DAaronovitch That, plus most extremists don’t get the chance to try and lead. So don’t get the scrutiny and chance to fail.

@BladeoftheS @EricIdle Dividing one big number by another big number always defeats left wing ranters.

@d0gmah @peterrhague @RebeccaNP This is correct. Blood test, then MRI, then biopsy. Surgery only happens when the cancer is certain and surgery is best treatment alternative. Surgery is not the only option for treatment, depending on age and exact diagnosis.

@menonanj @LaBloggeuse @FreeLeasehlders @HarryScoffin This post shows you don’t understand service charges.

@Simon111xyz @garybryantuk @MarianLP99 @archer_rs It has been adequately explained, I don’t know why you don’t get it.

[Graham Wallace @London_FCA]

@Simon111xyz @garybryantuk @MarianLP99 @archer_rs Pyramid schemes are pyramid shaped. This is a straight line.

[Graham Wallace @London_FCA]

@Simon111xyz @garybryantuk @MarianLP99 @archer_rs I suspect you’re deliberately missing the point. Z isn’t contractually involved with X, but if Z pulls out then Y doesn’t have the funds from their sale to pay X.
