    Anyone charge visitors for coffee?

    Not a coffee drinker - wonder if he'd bill me for a glass of water. Does he expect nourishment on tap when he visits - I would love to test it out.

    Anyone charge visitors for coffee?

    I was amazed, my son has just returned from Ryanair headquarters doing a presentation and he had to buy his own coffee in the boardroom, He did not meet O'Leary but he was visible in his office next door. Anyone else that tight? I certainly wasn't and not come across it.

    School Work Experience?

    Oh he has, I can't question his application. The school did only supply a few companies who have in the past and I guess I'm going to be approached annualy now that i've taken on two..

    School Work Experience?

    Do many companies participate in this excercise where they take on a 15/16 year old still at school for a week (free) ? The reason I ask is my grandsons (15 yo) class of 160 have only had 26 taken up. (I'm taking on 2 but I must admit it is the first time I've been asked and only really doing...

    Trump’s cognitive dissonance - and why it matters!

    Dear Lord, how on earth did Trump get elected. Donald Trump claimed during a press conference that the United States and Italy have been allies “since the time of Ancient Rome.” America won the Second WW "Big Time" We would all be speaking German and Japanese. Confused Greenland with Iceland 6...

    Trump’s cognitive dissonance - and why it matters!

    "it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also." I take it no one has pointed out that the Pilgrim Fathers arrived in boats? He is an absolute cretin.

    African Style Democracy.

    Why am I not surprised having heard it all repeadedly in African "democratic" elections. Oxford Unions president George Abaraonye has been sacked with a 2/3'rds majority in a vote of no confidence..............BUT- "Despite the result, George Abaraonye insisted in a statement that the poll was...

    Building Covenants?

    Rather like the car sales people selling car finance - they shouldn't have to tell their customers where the money goes too, just sign on the dotted line and pay. They are also acting for the seller. All you are promoting is bad business ethics. Let the Buyer beware.

    Building Covenants?

    The agency did know as they admitted that was the reason a previous transaction fell through.

    Building Covenants?

    Then why the hell have these non sensical, stupid covenants. I hear they are becomming more prevalent. Down right ridiculous. Why should I buy a property if I have to rely on someones inaction? The house belongs to me and there are enough legal, both national and regional, restrictions that...

    Building Covenants?

    The Estate agent admitted this morning that the same reason was given for the failure to complete in March on the same building. This is now done and dusted.

    Building Covenants?

    So it must go as far as the conveyancer gets involved and asks for his pound of flesh. The sale would not have got to that stage if the agent is required to inform a prospect of anything that will impact a sale. In the meantime a surveyor has also been hired un-necessarily. Now that this sale...

    Building Covenants?

    No there hasn't been a neighbour issue but I feel it is a similar as it could affect a decision and may affect the resale value of the house. There was no mention of covenants and as it stands the sale is not going to go through unless the lawyer can convince him he mis-understands the issue.

    Building Covenants?

    He would not have got the sale in the first place and has cost my son some expense. I think they have to notify a purchaser if there has been an argument with a neighbour.

    Building Covenants?

    Should the Estate agent have known about them and required to tell my son about the covenants before it got this far down the road?
