  14. Me too. Sanchez looked very promising whenever I saw him play. He reminded me a lot of Raya.
  15. Yeah, the other keeper, Sanchez, is top class. Definitely one to push Raya all the way with the Spain squad.

  21. Hi Matey, did you see “ Panorama “ last night ? It was truly jaw dropping. An average sized 1970’s terraced house turned into 6 flats ! The landlord was charging £950 for each flat ! The took the previous owner around and she was almost in tears. Somebody was living in what was her old bathroom, somebody else living in her old kitchen ! Unbelievable .

    Regards John C. ( Tyrone )

      I haven't seen it yet John but can well imagine, having lived and breathed this stuff in my previous job. When I first started working in housing, Right to Buy had only just been introduced, and you could walk round estates in Blackburn and be able to pick out the 'bought' properties because they were the ones with the lovely new doors and windows. Fast forward 20/30 years and the exact opposite is the case!

      Absolutely no strategic thinking behind RTB, it was simply buying votes. I hope she's rotting in hell now.

      Yeah, me too. Just an exercise in buying votes. As was all the other privatisations. Look at the state of public utilities now. A shambles the lot of them. You must watch the programme, it’s an eye opener.

  22. It’s nice to have some for a change ……… I’d given up completely with the previous manager.
  23. Last nights “ Blue Lights “ had a great revue in todays paper. We watched “ Unforgotten “ instead. Not bad but nothing to rave about. However “ Panorama” about the sale of social housing made my blood boil. A woman in London buys her average sized terraced Council house for £15k, about 12- 15 years later she sells it for £85k. Further on down the time scale road a landlord buys it and turns it into 6 tiny flats. He’s charging £950 per flat per month. We’re paying the £950 to him through housing benefit. This landlord has another 5 house in the same row. Do the maths.
