I could ham it up and get a holiday out of it but I just don't want to do that. My back is a bit sore and I was thinking "what if it starts playing up in years to come"?

Trying to be a good, spiritual person these days so told the claim people I didn't want to pursue. Was this the right thing to do? Don’t go for an injury claim through your insurance company. According to the latest Digby Brown advert, they can get you much more than your insurance company can. Also once you have started a claim through your insurance company then you cannot go elsewhere if you don’t think that the payout on offer is good enough. Whether they are telling the truth or not, I don’t know but it’s just a new level of scaremongering from them in their endless quest to make a quick buck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsjfc Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have family viewing a house that's non-traditional construction. It's not much of an issue in terms of mortgage etc but wanted to know a bit more about it.It's a concrete construction called "panelcrete". Google isn't really giving much clues as to benefits/draw backs of said construction. It was built about 90 years ago.Anyone know anything about it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Never heard of it but a quick look suggests it was cheap construction method from the 1920s. Im guessing its either precast concrete panels stitched together or another fancy name for poured concrete which was quite popular in housing from the 1920s-1960s. Im guessing the former precast method. Kind of like a prefab house which was quite common around that time. Either way, If its lasted this long, im sure it will be fine. Concrete is ace. ETA I assume this is in Perth?

A lot of people don't like Turkish Delight, I mean Fry's Turkish Delight, the type with the chocolate on it and the purple wrapper. But I like it. A lot of people say "ugh, Turkish Delight, that's disgusting, how can you eat that? It's like eating perfume, it's like eating old women's perfume. Like lavender water, or rose water or whatever it is. How can you like that?" But I like it. I like Turkish Delight. I don't like it enough to get it every day, or every week. In fact, I can't remember the last time I got a Turkish Delight, but every now and then, I'll be in a shop and I walk past the shelves with all the chocolate and I'll see a Turkish Delight and I'll get it. It's nice, I like it. I like Turkish Delight. Edited September 12, 2018 by Hedgecutter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
