Here’s a new video about rent arrears from the Ministry of Justice.
It’s presented by District Judge Stephen Gold, who, presumably, knows a thing or two about landlord/tenant disputes.
His … err … Worship? Lordship? … is a rather dapper looking chap, not, we think, the type to gaze down from the bench and loftily enquire of [...]

Our favourite shed blog, er, Shed Blog, has posted the rather fantastic new video for the official Shed Week song.
Sung with gusto by ‘Punks not Dad‘ it’s called, appropriately enough, ‘In Me Shed’.

Great video, great sentiment (it’s about all the things we do in our sheds) and pretty catchy in a ‘we know 3-ish chords [...]

Ok, this isn’t the funniest thing I’ve ever seen, but it did raise a smile.
And all credit to the Energy Savings Trust for trying to get beyond eco-worthiness by using comedian Marcus Brigstocke to talk about the eco-renovations he’s made to his London home.

Interesting interview with Robin Bew of the Economist Intelligence Unit on cantosTV.

Thanks to Jess over at Primelocation’s blog for alerting us to the fact that London agent Marsh & Parsons have started vlogging (video blogging).
Here’s their first from MD Peter Rollings – they’re keen to have feedback, so let them know what you think.
I’ve spoken to Peter many times in the past and he really is [...]

Anyone see Grand Designs last night? We’ve written about Earthships – homes made from tyres filled with rammed earth – several times in the past so it was interesting to see the process in action.
The couple involved said they wouldn’t get planning permission for this in Britain, but there is a development of Earthships planned [...]

We’ve been asking our users what makes a home … which made me think of this: Crosby Stills & Nash’s blissed out hymn to home life with the one you lurv.
Apparently Graham Nash wrote it while living with Joni Mitchell in Laurel Canyon way back in 1970 …  and you don’t get any more loved [...]
