foreveryoung Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Just browsing property on Zoopla. What's this Homewise, half the first time buyer houses look under this deal, show a cheap price, then when I looked it's a deal for the over 60s only. Lots of refurb properties 2, 3, 4, 5 bedroom houses. I mean, who needs a 4 bed retirement house, an as if most can be bothered at 60+ to refurb a house fully. This deal or some sort, should be offered to first time buyers, not over 60s, surely. Looked a bit more, the true value is in the description, price shown £245.000, if you want to buy and are not under 60, price £465.00. Not very good, another public website gone all commercial.

Nah Kimbolton village in Bedfordshire. The local vicar is the only individual in the country with a private licence to do fireworks. Gets to go all over the world to do shows. Gets involved in new years eve in london. Did a huge display at the millenium. Practices for future displays at the Kimbolton bonfire night. People come from miles around.

But let's not hold our breath in hoping for change to come about. There's more chance of that moron Braverman resigning by tomorrow morning. There must be a chance that a ban on fireworks is coming @bickster Spoiler Yes, she was sacked* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 The absolute shambles that is the youtube (and quite a few other apps) search function nowadays and I suppose it's the algorithm. I legit search the near enough exact title of a documentary and the top 5 results where other channels discussing that documentary that I believe YT thinks I'd be more interested in. (As they are familiar to me) Just an example of being fed not what we want but what we are told or what they think we want. Google is the same I am sure to a degree.

I find the youtube search quite good actually. Plenty of times I don't really know enough details about what I'm searching for and it ends up finding what I'm looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
