A lot of our furniture is what gets called 'vintage' we've chopped and changed over the years, usually getting your money back on things, recently sold a Deco drinks cabinet and replaced with a 60's teak side board . . . . found a really good Vintage one for Ikea money, which was 1/4 of the new...

My great grandfathers desk chair, an Art deco settee, which I restored and had recovered. an occasional chair ( mid 1800's) and several other smaller items, a 30's side cabinet for gloves/scarves/sunglesses by the front door. .. Some of it came via my mother as everyone moved houses (they...

There isn't enough road for the traffic we already have!

Correct . . 99% of what they do is cheap disposable tat (harldy an investment in furniture to hand down to your grandchildren ) It would be nice to keep a green strip between Lancing and Shoream, not just the airfield and river.

FUnny you say that, I was in a 2 bed flat in Shoreham for over 7 years, price barely budget, in 99 I traded up to a cottage, which more than doubled in under 4 years, it was the late 90's until the 08 crash that reallly did it bike hikes every year. . .whats struck me in recent years is not the...

I thought the Council secured that land to guarantee it, it is also a nature reserve . . .the last proper bit of wetland left, and definitely even more of a flood plain than north of the railway line.

It varies wildly. our house is '48, proper bricks, with cavity, extension like HWT is bricks outside and blocks inside. My Step Dads gaff up the road is late 20's, bricks are like granite! depends who fired them, and the clay they're made from. My old Cottage was 1720, if you wanted to hang a...

Quite. Our house is made of bricks, all the internal walls too. When I suggested our extension was built the same people looked at me as if I was mad! Builders seem to just want to do what ever is fast easy and profitable, not what is necessarily good or correct. As long as it ticks a box for...

The whole afordable housing thing is wierd. most of us over thhe age of 45 say, who have a house, probably could afford to get on the ladder now if were in the same situation we were 25+ years ago. my flat in 92 cost 4 times my salary. . . . now its 7 times. our house in 2003 was 4 times joint...

The whole area from the river to Lancing is essentially salt marsh flood plain. There are a hell of a lot of civils going on to manage the water, which mostly just pours down from the Chalk in the Southdowns. The A27 often floods. There are three massive screw pumps in the airport to pum water...

the ones on the waterfront in Shoreham are nearly double that. That is bonkers, they're made of chipboard!

Agreed. and proximity to the train station makes, or used to make, a big difference. Where we are in town and near Buckingham park for example could be 30-50k difference for the same house!

compared to Shoreham town they are, it's bonkers out there!

you can look out of the side windows as well you know ;-)

Whilst local planning and (over) developments in recent years leave more than a bit to be desired, Shoreham is lucky to be bordered by a national park, a river, the airport, and the sea. There's not really anywhere else to go. As long as they maintain the going up rule, although thats on thin...

If he'd added some additional wordage, maybe crevice and , engineering detail such as gusset and flange, it could have been the perfect paragraph. Fnarr fnarr.
