Mine is this one - table/counter top - good for two people, it's basic but big enough for a 30cm pizza as it has a bulge at the back! Not for gourmet cooking but useful. I would love to find something like it which could be built in, or at least wall mounted for a more streamlined look. Yes fan assi...

I would say yes - if you're building the kitchen from scratch definitely try to include a mini-oven/grill. I have 2 x sleep-two apartments, 150m walk from a village bristling with restaurants, cafes, etc. No dishwasher, no oven, dishwasher has never been mentioned, - lack of oven mentioned about 3 o...

IIRC 9.8% is the top (on my property as it's the cheaper end) plus VATkevsboredagain wrote:I'm all for complaining about this and making it public but it would give owners much more credibility not to exaggerate. It's not 10-15% extra but somewhere under 10%. On the last enquiry I had, I see it was 9.5%.

By coincidence, Nemo, I was just looking at the advert report... A quick glance says it's been shown to about 2.5k people, vast majority on mobile devices, age group 25-44 This means all the people sitting at the pavement cafes in the hot nights this weekend (and watching the football ahah) Got 8 ne...

He was born just after the law came in (1981) allowing us ladies to pass our UK nationality to our offspring born abroad. Vive la difference! I'm intrigued Pam, I just renewed my daughter's passport, born in the UK (90's), British Mum, Pt Dad. Applied from Portugal mid June and the new one arrived l...

The proof of the pudding and all that. Has to be worth a punt. I think a high percentage of summer holidaymakers spend a great deal of their summer holiday online scouting options for the following year's summer holiday!! :lol: That's my thinking too Cass. My only doubt is the targeting info on FB ...

now trying a Local Awareness ad on Facebook
According to FB insights - 79% of the people near my business (150m radius) using FB in the last week are TOURISTS. Of course, as to be expected.
