We are now going to look into how practical it would be to have a two-storey full width extension built onto our house Thanks Oddly enough right at the outset I wanted to say what about converting or changing your existing place? Reckon that’s a great way to go Excited to see what plans are drawn up for you. As you know it’s a constant thorn looking for property in Bristol. You have to check what’s available everyday twice a day and then like you say they’re already feckin gone when you finally get hold of them. The only reason we have hopefully bagged this one is because they listed it and were refusing to show it (or post pics) because the last tenant had left it in a state and the vendor wanted to clean and to fix the kitchen before the photos. Fortunately for us her go to fixing guy was away for a week and whilst they delayed everyone else til next week because I’m away we had a preview. I honestly dunno what they were fussing about. It’s on at 10k less than another identical flat in the building and just needs a good clean and fresh paint. She’s agreed to do a ‘deep clean’ before we pay up, just a bit of this n that n bobs ur uncle 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most aren't as you've probably seen.....they just congregate in their Brit cliques! Those are the ones who cause the "them and us" scenario so it's best never to be seen with them or the locals will think you're one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few will talk to the brit locals although I had a short conversation with one as he passed on his push bike. I do walk fast but this chap was going so slow I'm not sure how balance was happening. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
