Re: Dog bite advice please

Re: Are Houses really starting to sell!!!!

We will be accepting an offer at £35,000 below the original asking price. About 6 weeks ago we dropped the price by £15,000 to get things shifting but are still taking £20,000 less than that. Most...

Re: Are Houses really starting to sell!!!!

We put ours up for sale when we heard we got PR but it was at the end of last summer and we missed the boat, so to speak. Nothing much happened through the winter, but about a month ago things...

Re: Crufts 2009

It sounds like you have your head screwed on Piff Poff, and I hope you get your squishy faced Chow (that's if they haven't been outlawed!). Only thing I would say is look at the potential health...

Re: Crufts 2009

Re: Crufts 2009

Re: Crufts 2009

I don't come here that often because I am too busy, but this thread caught my eye. I agree 100% with Louise's first post (that certain breeds have problems) and like her, I have shown dogs at Crufts...

Re: Non-tedious, potentially uplifting story

No, they were up there for a couple of hours and then I walked up to collect them. It would have been mean to just take them back indoors so we went out across the fields for a run first (they ran,...

Re: Non-tedious, potentially uplifting story

Re: Royal Mail Special Delivery to CHC London

Hot on the heels of finding out our medicals did arrive in London, we found out today that CIC wrote to us a month ago asking for our passports! Thank goodness we checked by email, as they replied...

Re: Royal Mail Special Delivery to CHC London

If that happened here, the local council would fine you for having the wrong thing in the bin! Hopefully this recent growing madness won't be exported to Canada.
