Hmm. I wonder if this rain stays on if it might be a good idea to pop round too. Might be quiet if people don't want to venture out in the rain.Morning all
Todays exercise will be a short doggie walk around the lanes, with a long walk around to the village to pick up some shopping tagged on immediately after.

Its a good idea to store your junk before dumping it. It solves the inevitable need for an object the day after you threw it away!

Yep. Not the first time I have cleared out my hall cupboard. Months down the line I find I need something I threw out and need to buy it again! Lol
Morning.
Southport would be a nice flat route from yours. I’m sticking to 2 hr ish rides so a little too far for me at the moment. I thought I’d timed my ride spot on yesterday by arriving back at my house bang on 28 miles on my wahoo until strava knocked it down to 27.8.
My OCD hasn't fully recovered yet.
Neighbours comment on why I circle the cul de sac occasionally and look at me like I’m weirdo when I explain I’m trying to even up the numbers.........

The rateable value was not the amount you actually paid, it was used in the calculation of the amount to pay, ie payable = rateable value * rate, if my memory is correct.

Apparently the government of the time(Tories) were so rushed to get the council tax through that they used local estate agents to drive around in their cars and spend seconds outside a property and just quickly jotting the details down.That is why imo a lot of properties have got the wrong bands.

I'm sure my dads was too high. 3 bedroom bungalow that was the same as a huge stone villa round the corner. I looked into having it checked but it sounded such a rigmarole I never bothered.

Still eerily quiet here. Walked round to the Co-op for a few things. You can tell by looking at most of the people that they are terrified. Horrible, but good in a way I suppose if it means they are sensible.
