    Have you tried any galleries at all to sell them, if not outright sale they may do sale or return?

    Severance negotiations

    I would object to the meeting until you have found a suitable representative. I believe you have a right to that. I may be wrong but I think you are allowed to ask what the meeting is about and therefore prepare

    Just to stir the pot, has anyone noticed...

    can't recall what happened in the 90s but the drop from 2000 - 2010 nicely coincided with the with the fact that as a country we were skint when Labour left office! I would also note the last spike has a lot to do with Covid ? Before anyone asks I think the whole political system is corrupt...

    Natural Gas Futures

    The way I understand it they are regulated by ofgem, not the FCA. It is like the Wild West. Things are changing but at a ridiculously slow pace as ever

    Banquette seating with radiator behind?

    If it helps any I am about to do similar at home. What we have decided is to do away with our rad and replace in the banquette a plinth heater and on the opposite wall an electric rad, was far cheaper than having the floor up, pipes added etc and still gives us the flexibility

    Open Access workshop

They do not as far as I am aware have a lathe...

    Inflation

    We are on holiday at the moment in Spain, her indoors likes super seedy bread, it’s about 20p cheaper here for a loaf of hovis than at home! The answer I believe is yes there is a huge amount of profiteering going on, I believe the government have tried to intervene as all the major supermarkets...
