Sizewise thinking of something like the 6.1x3.7x1.2 or 7.3x3.75x1.2 models. Deeper would be nice but that extra 100mm adds 500€ I'm open to suggestions for similar alternatives. We have a heavily sloping site ideal for above an above ground pool with decking. Might even be interested in a second hand one My doctor said one drink per day, I can live with that !    Report

Any movement on your situation ? Ernie EDIT:  Strange site. French yet indexing mostly non French pages. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough My doctor said one drink per day, I can live with that !    Report

No, had an offer a couple of  weeks ago £25,000 under the valuation, told them to see a taxidermist. In the local newspaper it was saying 5 house agents have closed in Basingstoke due to no business, so it seems quite bad, its another story, but we changed agents 4 weeks ago, the boss of the one we have now got, I can only discribe as a clown, first thing he said when he came round, you will have to change the blue bathroom suite as people like white ones, I think the words starts with B. The following day he came, and said that white fence at the begining of the road wants sorting out, GO AND TELL THEM TO SORT IT, nothing to do with us at all, again B. the latest thing he telephoned and asked if the grass in our front garden belonged to us or the council, I told him it was MY front garden, its open plan, only a possible client asked he said, roll on 4 weeks time when we can get rid of him. What chance have I got with this P. Colin    Report

Interesting to get a 1st hand report from someone actually in the market instead of some know it all financier who's probably played his part in getting UK into this mess in the first place. That or an "in denial" political puppet chosen from the same ones that try to convince you that UK inflation is 2.5%, or whatever they are claiming today.
