The crumbly concrete problem

[Robin GrahamParticipant @robingraham42208]

About ten years ago I bought a three year old car. I reckoned it would last me about ten years and I calculated likely yearly maintenance costs and the cost of replacing when it became uneconomic to repair. I set aside a ring-fenced monthly amount. When it goes in for the MOT tomorrow I'll have funds either to repair or replace if it fails.

I'm going to be nervously awaiting my nomination for the Nobel prize in Economics now!

Interesting observations by Terry B, Duncan Webster regarding responsibility for the erection and subsequent maintenance of the buildings and government. I made this point on this very forum yesterday and added that "people should stop blaming governments of either hue". Well seeing Duncans comment I looked at my posting and for some unexplained reason and without advising or consulting me somebody has edited my comments out!!!!! Censorship? Really?

In the war we'd just pack a column of loose house bricks under the beam and get on with it

Well not quite bricks, Acrow props. Queen Elizabeth hospital in King's Lynn has 4394 props according to the BBC

And by not building any new schools or hospitals for 30 years we will hugely improve our carbon footprint

mud and wattle are the future

Yes deleted as the first post mentioned polititians twice and tax payers once.

Several other posts in this thread that wander from the technical side also deleted completely including Howards, Mike was lucky and only got an edit.

Moderators are giving up a lot of their time at the moment trying to get the new forum usable and don't need to be wasting time here watching yet another tea room topic drift into Government /politics. Not wasting more time going through the last few posts since I last looked in so will lock it as people can't seem to stick to what they are asked to do.
