Some grammar again, if anyone is arsed. My literature tells my that there are two types of answers to the question: “do you have a car”. You can reply with “I have/haven’t” or “I do/don’t”.
My book claims that “the latter is normal in American English, and is increasingly common in British English”. How would you respond?

I'd probably answer with "I do" to that specific question.

However if someone asked me if "I have a car" then I'd probably answer with "I have".

I've not been corrupted by the Yank abuses of the English language, so if I was asked if I have a car I would answer yes I have a car or no I haven't got a car.

And never ever ever use "Can I get" to someone serving you.

There are sites like Pikes and myhouse,mystreet, etc where you can find who lived in a particular road in the 1900's, does anyone know where I can find info from Hampstead London in 1919?

I've just had an email come from ebay telling me my purchase was incomplete, but it is somebody else who has been on my account. They haven't made any purchases or bids. It just looks like they've put items in the trolley and for whatever reason never went through with buying. But they have changed the delivery address to theirs.

I've taken care of securing my account again and none of the log-in details were used elsewhere - so it's all sorted on that side of things. But is there anything I should/could be doing with their address information which they have left behind in regard to reporting them? I'm UK, the address is in the US.

I've a few pairs of my lads trainees that he has grown out of, they have obvious signs of wear on the soles but the uppers are in good condition and still wearable. Rather than just stick them in a shoe bank, I'd like, if possible, to pass them on to somewhere that could give them to a kid that needed and could wear them. Is there anywhere in Liverpool that does this kind of thing?

There are a pair of black leather Adidas strap over school shoes, leather Adidas strap over trainees, a pair of Adidas X white Astro turf trainees and a pair of Nike Air270 React. The Adidas all cost between £25 and £35 quid, the Nikes were about £70, so I'd like them to be used if they could be.

Are you sure all his stuff isn't backed up to his Google account or iCloud? I set up a new phone the other week and got everything off my old phone without having to transfer a thing off it.

Apparently rice don't do a thing.

Soak it in 90%+ alcohol and then allow to "dry" out. Alcohol displaces the water.
On no account apply power to it from the power button or via and usb lead.  Oops.

Or take it to a specialist. (source: went through it all a couple of years ago with my last phone)

Had it in rice since Friday mate. Done fuck all it seems.

Not sure. He's only 14 so I doubt there's much on the knackered phone that he absolutely needs to get off it. His apps, Spotify, Instagram and whatever other nonsense kids have on their phones can be got from just downloading the apps again I assume.

I wasn't convinced by the rice thing but upon googling it, I found that the 3 website claim that it does actually work. Certainly didn't on this occasion but thats not to say it doesn't ever work. Given he dropped it from a relative height, it could've knocked off the edge of the toilet a few times before settling in the water and caused other damage.

Or buy him an Iphone, they are water resistant to 2 metres for 30 mins, found this out last week when my lad thought it was funny when he walked in for a piss while I was in the bath, after  told him to get out with the phone, to throw it in the air, soft shite dropped it down the bog.

I'm buying a house with my girlfriend late 2021 and will be keeping my house with a view to rent it out. It's an old three bed mid terrace, and has some small radial damp patches at the foot of the wooden staircase that has caused the wooden skirting board to perish. The wall also shows some patches. Worth noting that the area can't be more than two metres by one.

I've had a lad come round who's said it'll need the plaster removing and injecting with damp coursing treatment, then he can replace the wood or fill the cracks for a cheaper fix, then replaster. I'd have to do the decoration after this.

He's asking for £600 and saying it'll take a day/ day and a half to do.

Does this seem about right to anyone with some knowledge, or does it seem steep? I know the cost of plaster is huge right now. There's no rising damp, no issue with the roof, flashing or pointing so this is in the wall somehow. Happens with old houses I suppose (1920s).

Obviously I want it in good condition before I look to rent it out. Any thoughts would be very appreciated.

This an internal wall?
It is mate yes. No exposure to the outside on any part of the wall, no windows or door frames in it etc. Two chimney breasts on the length of it stretching from living room to dining room.

That's horrendously expensive on a £ per square metre basis mate.

Damp proofing materials are expensive, and the price of plaster has rocketed, but you only want a couple of square metres doing, so it wouldn't make that much difference.

I'd normally expect to pay around £70 - £100 per sq metre for that sort of work.

But, we are in weird times, and there's defo a "Covid Premium" appearing on the cost of all trades. I'd get another couple of quotes if that were me.

That's horrendously expensive on a £ per square metre basis mate.

Damp proofing materials are expensive, and the price of plaster has rocketed, but you only want a couple of square metres doing, so it wouldn't make that much difference.

I'd normally expect to pay around £70 - £100 per sq metre for that sort of work.

But, we are in weird times, and there's defo a "Covid Premium" appearing on the cost of all trades. I'd get another couple of quotes if that were me.


That all day long,get on that trusted trader website.Disagree with the price due to covid though,I'd expect you to pay less due to Covid as so many traders are laid off or struggling to fill their time.
My cup, it runneth over, I'll never get my fill
