I wasn't alone in thinking in might be subterranean, and had no clue of where it is and the water table in the area. Have you been in to have a look?

Maybe that's the trick - you march in to put them right about their inaccurate signage, then stumble out forty minutes later having somehow been talked into ordering a large oak-effect dining table and twelve faux-leather chairs, which you already know are never going to fit into your terrace.

Marketing managers. A dangerous breed.

Had to go down to Middlesbrough this evening which was as shite as ever and had a truly awful meal out

anyway just walking back to the car I heard an alarm

thought I’d better investigate just incase, ended up walking almost a mile to find a large upholstery shop with the alarm going off

oh dear, had a quick look round and couldn’t see anything so checked their Facebook and managed to find a link to WhatsApp so sent them a message

actually got a response and it’s nice to be thanked

thats my good deed of the day

 

[maxxo]

just had my mother have a go at me for that

i'm sorry, but whenever i hear an alarm going off i always go out to investigate

it paid off once and i will continue to do it, because at the end of the day a moment of my time to at least check on someones property and try and let them know is worth it to me

Don't currently have a choke cable? No problem  with the "Chokemaster 2000" (TM).

Any interest pm me for deets and pricing 🤣

Colonsay looks pretty stunning today - could not have asked for better weather. Even the ground under foot was mainly dry and easily traversed.

113% would recommend!

I always think the Santander logo looks like a steaming turd.

We've left Colonsay this evening, currently about 35 mins from Oban, 

The views from the boat are stunning - Mull looks particularly atmospheric 

[comfortablynumb]

Amazing pics there @320touring, I must get up there again.

One time I went, some mates who went diving, needed a towcar ( more boats than car with towbars, not sure how they managed that?)

I went to lochaline.

Turned off the main road , into a single track lane, and saw the sign

Lochaline 

23 miles!

It was one of the best drives of my life !

In the attic

No, basements are below ground level by definition 😀

I did wonder about a top floor, but no windows at the front and not a great height by the looks of it.

[myglaren]

Having the basement in the attic would be a good move though, no chance of it flooding .

Not grin exactly but interesting.

Actually rather sad as this beautiful, smart and vibrant woman has been bedbound for the best part of two years, a result of Covid infection.

As a physicist and generally intelligent person I'm sure she had the appropriate injections, but still caught it and is now unable to do anything for herself.
