Best to stand there with hands on hips, head shaking and tutting loudly whilst asking "how the hell has that happened? I ordered a nice pair of shoes for you pet, and they've sent me all this..."
Nothing to the inquisition I’ll have when that pallet of nucs arrives!
I’ve only ever been disappointed once while dealing with them.
does anybody?
Sorry james,
I wanted to buy the last 10 runners for £8;The postage was £9.99.so did not bother ,not much of a bargain
Luckily, I've never had to face the Spanish inquisition. I've had other expensive hobbies in the past and my wife is so understanding, that my hobbies are my space.
Part of the problem is that we are trying to move house and she sees my accumulating more stuff as more to move when we finally do go ...my comments that I'll just get a bigger van don't really sit well...
Still looking at Frome?
Our daughter and grandchildren are in Frome so we want to be within about 20 miles or so - but Frome itself is so expensive we have no hope of getting what we want. Dorset/Somerset borders or Wiltshire East of Frome, West of salisbury property is much cheaper so that looks likely. We've seen exactly what we are looking for in East Devon at what we can afford but its 60 miles from Frome and we are no better off ! We are thinking of getting the house on the market spring/early summer next year as by then we hope the mortgage rates will have come down a bit and make seling a bit easier. We need to be mortgage free so it won't affect us buying...
Somerset tends to be a bit less expensive than Dorset, I think. Having lived in both I prefer Somerset, which to me “feels right” as a county.
Compromise with a small shed and a large bungalow with one of the rooms as your other bee shed. Just mention it in passing.
It's the DFL's (Down From Londoners) that are the problem - hiking property prices in places like Frome, Bruton and Zeals to levels that make it hard for locals to buy property ... that and their propensity for Chelsea Tractors and a inability to reverse makes them a threat to the local area. Worst thing that ever happened was working from home and decent internet connections in Somerset !Dreadful place, Somerset. I don't know why anyone would want to live here. I recommend they should look elsewhere to everyone who mentions that they're thinking about moving here
James
I'm rather hoping they will cut the price of the National roofs and floors a bit ... they have over 250 roofs in stock but at £21 each they are still a bit more than I want to spend but I reckon you could make a cheap and effective hive with one of their floors and roof, but make the brood box out of 50mm Celotex.
