I've contacted 2 flooring companies locally (with pictures) asking if they could do some small repairs on parquet flooring. No response whatever. I also contacted 3 antique dealers about my mother's dresser; 2 responses saying they didn't want it (fair enough), and nothing for the other.

As the Yorkshire Post enquires, what is the point of Ofwat?

When Yorkshire Water get away with paying greedy Nicola Shaw from a parent company, pretending this isn’t a replacement for the bonus she shouldn't get because of their appalling pollution record? 🤮

Campaigners have slammed Ofwat after the water regulator found that the undisclosed off-shore payment of £660,000 to Yorkshire Water boss Nicola Shaw did not flout the Government’s bonus ban rule.

Not currently on my website, but you know the drill.

If, however, you don't know the drill, the drill is that you can email via the site and request one, and I will draw one for you. It's THAT simple.
