Holy mackeroley.

Maybe next year we should adapt our planting regime. Rice?

 

Nah, it'll be the drought we were all told to prepare for this year (remember those dire predictions back in March?)

 

woah!!! some dramatic pics! But I must admit, being working class I did have to smile at the half sunk BMW

 

I liked that, and its not like they can just say it was in a puddle, because they've clearly dropped it. I shouldn't laugh....

 

The Newburn Flats will never be able to be sold now - even if they do shore it up and hide the work behind concrete.
As they are fairly new flats I would assume all the owners will have building Insurance, which will include demolition and rebuild costs.
That being the case I think it is reasonable to pay each of the owners full market value (before the problems which started in May)
That would enable people to buy elsewhere and leave the 2 organisations that seem to be debating liability to fight it out between themselves and the Insurance Company.
Why should the owners suffer extensive delays because profiteers want to avoid liability.

Contents Insurance will be different and subject to actual proven loss - except where people have not covered their goods at all.

 

lets just hope they didn't tick the box that opted for the "No Pay Policy Discount"
