Wonder if Drakes break even at £50 a shirt?

Woop, offer accepted yesterday. Unusually only 2 offers submitted, one way below asking and ours, £20k below asking. Vendor asked if we could improve slightly, bumped it up £5K. Accepted.
Which is such a different story to what I’ve been hearing of recent property buying.

All sold to @mulletino

Noticed this on my way into work this
morning.

Indeed it has!

I’ve got an old Mercian, not really interested in splitting it. But it might fit the bill?

See my post above

I’ve got 2 left hands of the useful Rapha lobster claw overmit.

1 x left small
1 x left medium

Think I was to busy filling my basket at an Kentish Town sample sale many years ago and didn’t realise I never got a pair.

Free - collection from Bristol
Or can post for whatever it costs

Had these sat unused for a while now, realistically probably won’t get used ever again. Someone else might make use. Happy to split or sell as a bundle.

Dura ace 7700 shifters (bit ratty but functionally no problems) - £40
Nitto dynamic 10 stem (As new) - £30
Nitto grand randonneur bars (As new) - £30

Bars wrapped with standard dead tape.

If you want to split, it may take me a few days to clean up. If you want the bundle, I can post next day or collection from Bristol.

As a complete - £90 free postage.
If split - £5 P&P per package.

Donation to forum after sale.

I got told around £60K all in for a flat roof dormer. That’s on a Victorian mid terrace in Bristol. That’s from a well recommended company, who are always booked up a year in advance.
Interesting Bristol-London price comparison. Londoners often think they pay more.

Made this last night, Pumpkin & simple cupboard ingredients. Well tasty

Yeah, great plan. As easy as it gets really. Now to figure out what to do with these two pumpkins left over from Halloween...

My wife has just announced ' I want fish for for dinner this weekend', which only happens a few times a year (usually in a restaurant). I'm thinking a whole fish, picked apart on the dining table with a tasty few sides. Any suggestions on types of fish/sides/way to cook it?

I go with Asics trail running Gore-Tex, very grippy sole with decent waterproofing. Usually come in black or bright colourways. Often in sale on running websites

Regarding waste, your in Bristol right? I've seen plenty of people just putting the old bath on the street, filling it up with the waste from job and getting a waste removal guy to come and pick it all up. Usually costs less than £100.

Any good inspo for small houses, built on a 28m2 plot?
Basically similar size to most the kitchen extensions posted on here haha

Yep, Colonna have been the best tasting & most reliable pods, we have had in at work

Yes it is pretty impressive. The exposed pipe work in the bathroom is pretty naff though.

Check out Rupert Burdett or Roy Middleton, they don't have a huge internet presence. But have been in the bespoke carpentry game for years and have a workshop just behind Peckham Rye station.

Chonky tyres FTW

Blenheim Forge sell something similar too

Put our house up for sale last week. Got 25 viewings booked in for this Friday and Saturday. Now need to find somewhere to buy...

I finally bought a water stone and sharpened my knifes. I don't know why I've been so hesitant and paid other people (pros) to do it. Got them very sharp and it was a great new skill to learn.

A dream come true

In my experience, no. Aluminium ones are much better. The machine we had didn't pierce the paper on the compostable very well. Figured out wetting the paper helped, but never got as good results as Alu.
