Blimey, rattled today are you? Calm yourself mate.

Yeah, that's what we want, this country and it's leaders to crash and burn. I know what we should do to spite them, let's vote to leave the EU and really fuck 'em over...oh, wait.

Define who you mean by "this forum"? Seems a hugely hyperbolic comment considering two forum members have commented on the post?

Absolutely it does - mine are Law and Economics and I used to own a Software company. I just used to find it funny that they would have that as a subject.

Accountants you definitely don't need a degree.

One of my friends did "Surf Studies" at University - I shit you not. Amazingly though, he had more hours of lectures per week than I did for my Law degree.

I get that seems to be his usual rhetoric, but again, not sure what is said here is really left v right?

Just needs a little bit of joined up thinking, that's all.

I've read this 4 times now - not sure what I'm missing 😕

Still selling them TBF.

Nope, this was the bit you criticised me for and you said we'd never do: “We made the decision there and then to sign some young players who could develop and, if we got relegated, would really help us the following year." There were many, many posts. Own it. You were wrong.

Lego is fucking expensive TBF.

Oh yeah, said that above. Sir Ralph seemed to want to continue getting worked up.

That's why his argument is so weird. It makes no sense, unless it's purely that he wants his money to only benefit the local area. In which he fits perfectly into the "selfish cunts" bracket of people (like we didn't know that already).

TBF there are many sites that do this currently - Zoopla gives an estimate however far off that is - with AI nowadays I'm sure there is something clever that can be done. I agree, the money needs to come from somewhere, it's why I said above it's not viable to do it all in one go both financially and operationally.

I'm not sure what you took from that thinking I'm angry - I'm sat in the garden with a beautiful view doing some Lego. Life is grand.

Taxation for selfish cunts. Wish they'd all piss off to Dubai with their fake mates.

Public services are far more expensive to administer in London though, you're aware of that aren't you?

As I told you all this was our strategy 2 years ago - I'll await my apology from yourself and @CB Fry: “We made the decision there and then to sign some young players who could develop and, if we got relegated, would really help us the following year. So it was similar to Ipswich in terms of sticking with it and having continuity. “In all the probabilities and data, the club was going to get relegated, but the club would have a right go.”

Oh well, not worth discussing then.

What's the relevance of this comment?

It won't sky rocket by any means, it will increase though.

No, that would be ridiculous. You would put a timeframe on the last time it was sold and each property would be assessed on say, a 3 year basis. You could also use planning permission and building regs sign off to estimate increase in property value (that's what they did to us once our renovations were complete - moved our bandings). Also, I get the point you're making, but how many properties in the UK do you think you can buy for £150k and then spend £1m adding to it to make a property that is worth what you've spent. I'm betting not very many.

Yes it does, that's my point, although don't forget I purchased a farm so it's difficult to split the value of the property from the value of the farm. We have also split the property from the farm now, so again it makes it more complicated. But unless you are going to get estate agents to routinely update property valuations on a yearly basis this is not going to be possible, so I would assume they'll do it on last sale price.

So, 0.48% of property value - would you be better or worse off? Me, personally, it depends on how they calculate the value. On current value, we'd be far worse off as we've invested nearly £400k in our property over the past 4 years, but if it's done based on the past purchase price in 2019, then we'll be about the same as current Council Tax charges. Feels completely fair as people with a £250k property in Blackpool pay the same as someone in a £2.5m property in Westminster.
