If i did that my dad would have beat me so hard 
Was he really good at Knock Knock Ginger?
Our council have kindly taken down all the passive aggressive flags that Nigel F fastened to just about every lamp post and have replaced them all with poppies

What exactly is āpassive aggressiveā about the national flag? I didnāt find the Spanish and Portuguese flags āpassive aggressiveā on my recent visit to those countries.

Itās not about the flag being up, itās about why itās up, but I think you know that.
Youād hope, but, following recent interactions, Iām not so sureā¦
If people donāt like seeing our national flag, there are plenty of countries they could go to where there either arenāt any or where theyāre only flown at diplomatic posts.

House has now been officially āsoldā to us.
Managed to wrangle it so we donāt have to deal with it this winter and we shall ātake overā from April next year.
So flights booked for April to sort the house out!
Unfortunately, canāt take the kids out of school, so a solo trip for me to sort out the furniture we are going to order.
Be a shame to take it over on my own, but looking forward to going back.

I guess that you will have to order from nearest large town or on-line?
IKEA prices used to be very competitive if you bought in Sweden but havenāt followed SEK exchange rate.
Be doing an online order from IKEA. Nearest one is a three hour drive away. But i am renting an estate car so if it need to i can drive there and pick up the remaining bits.
As for the nearest large townā¦ Thatās about two hours away.
Exchange rate is going up a bit, so might transfer our funds into the missus svensk konto sooner rather than later or we will be a bit out of pocket.

What are their delivery options? Might be worth spending a few SEK rather than a 6 hr return trip.
Krona has been crap of recent
Oh we are going to aim for a delivery.
Three beds, a sofa and ancillary rubbish is a nightmare for just me.
But itās pretty much the left butt cheek of nowhere so it might be a bit difficult to get to.
I mean, this is the centre of the village, one road is direct to the house, the other is the main route to it. So may be slightly difficult for large trucksā¦
Iām sure it wonāt be the first time that IKEA have had that problem in Sweden - & I doubt there will be a warehouse-full load covering other residents, so hopefully they will plan the truck size accordingly (& probably a good idea to speak with them about the delivery road logistics).
My only form of transport, my bike, stopped working. I was pedaling but the wheels werenāt always turning as a result.
Turns out my freehub had failed. Given that I thought I had a freewheel and not a freehub I was a little surprised. Certainly didnāt know how to solve the issue.
A few YouTube videos, a couple of hours of playing around and a few new parts and Iāve managed to fix it all by myself! Total cost of around Ā£40 instead of the hundreds that it would have cost to go through the mechanics - and I have functioning transport again!
