Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

John Schubert , parcel on its way-------month late, can't be helped.
Do what you can with it-------will get the mount for it to you sometime later in the year.
had a message from Trans Global----------they are delivering a parcel here in the morning. Maybe it's the missing parcel, will let you know either way.

Which one is it? Who is it for? Might have detail finish questions after I see it. Looking forward to doing it for you Jackie.

BTW are you coming to OFF in November? If so I'll be there. If not questionable.

That ones for Roger H. Just give it your usual makeover John.
i can't be blamed for the cock ups this time. Just a pity the dopey buggers went and misplaced Ron Hills twin engined job-------I already gave the first effort away--------second effort was much better and with a little help from your good self would have been a nice surprise------Ah well, the best laid plans an all that jazz.

Jackie. The news last night showed live coverage of a high rise apartment building fire in London. I understand there were a number of fatalities. Spare a moment for these folks and the firefighters who had to fight this nightmare. And also for that incident commander. His problems with that one were monumental.

Dont know what the hell is going on here--------nobody on the top three floors got out alive and this in spite of the fact there were 200 firefighters on call. Non of the sprinklers worked and the whole building was a "TOWERING INFERNO" ------official figures claim six dead, but up to 100 unaccounted for. Seems like a cover up to me, nobody's telling the truth?

[jackiewilson]

Death toll is now up to 12 but there are now over 100 missing.
More than 250 firefighters attended. Building is just an empty burnt out shell.
This block is the ghetto block of South Kensington------one of the poshest parts of London ?
A lot more to come!
More questions than answers.
How come so many are unaccounted for.

[jackiewilson]

This may not be appropriate------but I was asked a question------simply tried to answer it honestly
if it offends, I apologise.

[jackiewilson]

Not a mention of how how many souls were lost------just blame------everyone blaming everybody for a disaster that should have never happened.
Last count was 12 fatalities with many more expected. But why are there no more figures available?
This is one of the poorest communities in greater London so I suppose it generates one of the highest returns on investments.
Lord mayor of London has paid an official visit !?!? ( big deal). He's a two faced git ?
I suspect an almighty cover up and a blame game of monumental proportions

Council or private building?

I believe originally Council but now Housing Association. Quite a common system now as more funding can be accessed..

Rent to buy is a great scam
Con the perpetual renters to take loan to buy.
Cant Pay back so bank forecloses
Bank sells it to a mate as not required to do public tender and has deadbeat tennent but not to worry.
New owner goes to council to say ok i leave tennent but council pay me, ok deal.
But house doesnt now meet min std for council house so money has to be spent.
Haha, council will loan you about 100k to renovate to make it meet requirements.
Great now i have cheap property, plus 100k and guaranteed rent.
I need a few more to create my property empire.
Ok bonus is council forgets to ask for any interest on the 100k for years.
Love the uk is a place you can really make money

Trouble is Pilgrim-----there's ten of these, all clad in fireball coating!

it certainly burnt well
if there isnt a 100 dead I will be surprised
Cladding by trotters and sons?

[jackiewilson]

Another day passed and still no word of how many died-------very strange-------latest count was 17 perished but that was 24 hrs ago.
Prime Minister------Lord Mayor of London-----idiot Corbin have all visited the scene------that doesn't happen unless there's a disaster.----------friend Corbin thinks he should take all property in Kensington and house the homeless !
Blame game is in full swing---------only people not guilty are ISIS. Many big names and wealthy landlords will be immigrating soon, as there will be inquiries and witch hunts.
Dont take a genius to know the cause and effect--------clever bit will be Why and how ? And are the rest of the tower blocks about to fall? Only takes a faulty dishwasher--------you don't even need a terrorist to get a blaze.

My good friends Tiny and Leo are visiting us for a few days. Girls are having a shopping day so Leo and I are going to BROOKLANDS The motor museum and prewar racetrack. Have never been before. See if I can't post a few pickies later in the day.

What they will find are the landlords will already be living in other countries even then probaly foreign companies.

The brits are crap at building but very good at enquries.
Anything built after the ww2 pretty much needs to be pulled down, full of asbestos and lead pipes
