Malt-teaser, the last topic that came up in my search was dated back to 2016. Not much good there. generalmartok, thank you so much but we need something bigger than a van (3 room apartment) geordilad24, I got quotes from the following companies: - Loogo umzüge: no google reviews and a bit expensive estimate -Umzugscenter: cheap quote but only limited to a driver and a van - Transporte MV: Cheap quote but google reviews are really negative (maybe thats why they are cheap) -As-Trans: So far the most expensive quote but very professional approach with so much attention to detail Will keep on looking I guess

Grew up in the UK flatlands (East Anglia), where the artesian water was pretty hard - kettles etc had to be regularly de-scaled.On the other hand, the amount of calcium in the water meant I had very few dental problems as a youngster, but when the family moved to Birmingham (supplied by soft water from Welsh reservoirs) I started to need a lot more fillings, unfortunately administered by a sadistic bastard who didn't believe in anaesthetic injections beforehand :-( For drinking, I preferred the hard water, unless I happened to be in mountain areas where the water from soft-water streams (i.e. Wales, Scotland) was cold, fresh and utterly delicious.

Buying Apartment in Old House: Energy Efficiency & Details
anipri replied to Olympiana's topic in Life in Germany
Hi I am recently planning to buy a house from 1963 however the heating got changed in 2017 to Gas and also the electricity. Since the change no one has stayed there regularly and on my request the present owner has created an energy certificate(attached). Also I have attached the report after heating change for KFW promotion. My question is 1. How to read the KFW report . 2. How accurate is the energy certificate given the fact that the usage was irregular after the heating change. 3. How to increase the efficiency of the house Below are some facts a.The windows are already double pane wood window. b. Roller shutters are already present. c. The attic is not developed. There are some woolen insulation layed over the floor of the attic and also the inside portion of the roof. I am not looking for some big renovations. I have added the required files in the Google drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10eSqBABYQDrY8kLhv036RM2rWu_nj5xp?usp=sharing -

The reality of what could happen hit home for me and my family in January. We visited Derry for a few days and had an uneventful time there. A week after we had returned home to Germany a car bomb was detonated at a spot we had walked past (with my young son) at approximately the same time in the evening a week before. Watching the CCTV footage was pretty eerie.

I guess I am fortunate in living in the same area for almost 50 years and know, and get on with, younger folk and their children who moved in within the last five years or so. Blessed. Things are as good now as ever was. Incomes have altered somewhat ☹️

I world look at this as similar to a grieving process when a body is lost at sea. There will be no burial. Life will move on but there will be the lingering doubt that a loved one is cast adrift with only a ball with a face drawn on it for company.

That's true. My mother told me about living in a house where they had to pass through the neighbors apartment to get to theirs. The neighbor lady would be in her kitchen as they walked past and often offer them a cookie and a chat. In one of the rooms of their apartment lived an old man. He simply came with the apartment. Nobody seemed to mind. One of the neighbors had a piano. He might come home late and start playing and they'd wake up and listen until he felt like going to bed. We are definitely not this tolerant today.

Thank you, @franklan! What a brilliant solution! I never took physics and didn't go beyond geometry in high school, so the formulas in the article were beyond my scope, but the text is interesting.

True and that happens now, but neighbours did look in on each other, people noticed when an elderly person wasn't seen and kids were often just dumped on family or neighbours. Now, how many people actually know who their neighbours are? How often is it reported that someone had died alone months before and no one noticed? How many real friends can we on average rely on when we're in need? Society has definitely gone down hill in the last 40 years.

Maybe I'm one of the few that did and still do care. See my post earlier on in this thread about going through Belfast at the time of the "Troubles". I was so glad about the Good Friday Agreement - I wandered around NI thereafter: the Antrim Glens, Bushmills distillery, even visited Stroke City (Derry/Londonderry) and witnessed the Apprentice Boys' March - got talking to a Royal Ulster Constabulary guy armed with a sub-machine gun on Derry's city walls - "My God", he said, Things have changed for the better and I hope they continue so." Wherever I stayed (Belfast, Carrickfergus, Portrush), the story was the same. Boris, Shitti Patel, Raab and the whole sick No-Deal Brexit crew should hang their heads in shame.

I'm not sure that people looked out for each other back then. At least not in all aspects. Things like spousal abuse and child abuse were often known about but ignored because it was considered private family affairs or something like that.

Good reference

Unfortunately we always remember things with rose tinted glasses but for many then life was pretty hard. Difference is that then people generally looked out for each other, now people generally only lookout for themselves. Often I wish I could live in a previous time line.

I also hope Smith will be back. I appreciate top professional sportsmen in their teams and may the better team win. And respect at the end of the game.

Care to dig up some quotes as I`ve looked at the first 20 pages and found nothing like that.

I doubt many English, Welsh or Scottish people gave any thoughts to Ireland when they voted on Brexit--whether Remainers or Leavers. Sadly.
