    Having read the particulars it may be available at a discount, currently it seems its being used as a rental property.

    My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

    too subtle? I was referring to the re purposed Voltaire quote.

    I know a few builders that do that, they only think they are God when they are driving.

    Doubt it somehow. The parent company Daily Mail and General Trust makes about £2bn revenue a year and forecast to make about £270m pre-tax profit this year. Owning and running newspapers has always been more about political power and influence than pure profit. In that respect the DM is still a big cheese.

    Everyone has that friend. The one who, every time something from the Daily Mail gets shared on social media, feels compelled to reply almost instantly with “UGH. DON’T LINK TO THE MAIL. YOU’RE PLAYING INTO THEIR HANDS. THEY WIN IF YOU CLICK ON THAT LINK.” They’re the same type who habitually refer to it as the Daily Heil, or the Waily Mail, or the Maily Fail. The self-appointed community support officers who like to slip on their hi-viz tabards and pad around the internet telling other users to put that down and stop climbing on that.
    laughed at this.

    Not sure they are getting the full story, I suspect their SEO team Mailonline-Taxhaven Inc is doing quite nicely. As is Mail-IP Taxhaven inc.
