Sparkychic lives here in Wales

She has yet to qualify as being anywhere near a 18 stone Welsh
( lass ) lady

There are no such things as downtrodden Welsh lasses
Our womenfolk are a more forceful band than us males,they would be too much woman to handle for you outsiders

No wonder the Welsh men want to fight everyone else when they are ----ed as they get beaten up by their women. Thanks for clearing that one up as if I get attacked by a Welshman, I'll set my petite girlfriend against them,

Maybe the English rugby squads next game against the Welsh should field the woman team.......

Germen for I Serve, yep that sums the Welsh up........;o)))))

there was one language her madman Hitler could not get a grips with the welsh language, fact.

is it me as i dont have my contacts in!!! but the tails and main earth enter in different holes on that CU?
Personally I would speak to your solicitor, likely outcome is knock a few hundred off the sale to cover a subsequent eicr and any remedials.
Also any EICR should be done by an electrician of your choosign and not theres as it could be a mate who gives a clean bill of health but really there is lots of issues.
likely though you will get offered an indmenity policy by the sellers side but if they knowingly lie and say no work post 2005 when there clearly has been then its possible it could be invalidated, make that clear to your solicitors as they wont want to be involved in swindling the insurance firms!
safest route is seller pays for building control to regularise it. as long as its not the sellers mate doing the inspection!
Certainly room for it to be a way of price reduction

For a self proclaimed patriotic Polish/Englander,do you realise you are being self defacing
So many immigrants from Poland have settled here (especially in the fifties) that a dilution of that Polish blood is probably a factor in our women being naturally powerful matriarchs in a typical Welsh household

The men need never to demonstrate their toughness to these women
The Welsh women can see that masculinity for themselves,especially when our lads destroy the Rugby manhood of a nation that boasts a 20 -1 superiority ratio in numbers

 

[mattg4321]

Who cares about egg chasers?!

Looking forward to the World Cup over there? Maybe not so much!

 

[Des 56]

Agreed,it seems much of the very important messaging that needed the best of security was conveyed in Welsh in both world wars

 

[Des 56]

I hope England win "in" the world cup
After all one win is possible,unlikely but still its possible

After seeing them defeated for 50 years against the top boys it tends to get a little monotonous

We won the football World Cup in 1966, & the Rugby Union 2003

neh neh neh neh neh

Sexism, xenophobia and now sporting rivalries. What was the question?

I knew some Polish Dentist who moved to Swansea years back and said he loved the place (he was always a bit odd) the residents loved him, young, pretty wife and a fantastic forward thinking dentist and I think his practice expanded really quickly.

My Uncle flew Wellingtons and Mossies.

one of the most important messages of ww2 was stuck in a homeless guys pocket after they dressed him up in british officer clothes, dumped the body at sea and eventually it found its way into german intel, the note in the pocket was part of the decoy plan for d-day

sure i heard that the germans tried to build a wooden invasion force to try and fool us, the RAF apparently dropped a wooden bomb on it LOL

Nothing to do with D-Day. It was the invasion of Sicily.

His name was Glyndwr Michael born in Commercial street Aberbargoed,where he lived until he was 13

In the film that was on TV recently it shows his father giving permission to use his body, however,both his parents died by time he was 13, he left to live in London where he eventually deid living rough on the streets a few years later

There is a memorial to him at the war cenotaph in Aberbargoed
The house he lived at was was owned by my brother before this story of who this "man who never was" was made

It was a weird historical event,one where the hero of the event never knew of his part

from what i remember being told the british spies wanted to find an an adult who had once been an orphan and was found dead of causes that they could fashion his corpse to look like he had drowned if the germans did an autopsy on him

they also invented a whole backstory for him didnt they? alot of effort went into it anyway

hitler could have done everyone a favour and put the bullet in his nut in 1939 though

So they had an electrical survey done Friday and we now have the report. It has noted that there has been electrical work done in the last 5 years but has stopped short of mentioning the consumer unit. The seller is pretty much demanding we sign over on Monday, but I'm still unsure as to the legal status of the CU.

I'll post the survey here if I'm allowed (will obviously remove the surveyors name etc)

 

[Dillb]

Can you post a copy of the report on here too. Be intrestong to see what they actyally done and if its of any relevance to the regs.

 

[bailes1992]

If the survey was done by an electrician that he picked I would say no. You have no idea what kind of deal went on!

Lets see the report first before making assumptions

Let them demand all they want... This is a big purchase and you should not sign anything until you are 100% happy

 

[GeorgeCooke]

It looks quite a tidy job, on the outside, to be honest, maybe done as a result of a cash only job with no certificate, not sure of the date, but if you are worried insist on an Electrical Installation Condition Report, (EICR) could be around £250:00 but who pays is unsure, as I have no information as to the state of the purchase.

It has always been up to the the buyer to pay for surveys etc.
