  1. I tend to watch more RT and Al Jazeera than BBC news. You tend to gut a less biased opinion of events.

     

    They also had alot of coverage of the matters going on in Ukraine which seemed to be forgotten about over here. Follow RT on twitter too as they have some good technology and science articles.

  2. Sunderland votes are just in and UKIP getting 24% of the currently counted votes.

     

    Bearing in mind that they came from a 0% from last year to beat the tories.

     

    This is still a labour area with 47% but that's a hell of a rise for UKIP but still waiting to see if any seats are to be taken.

     

    After all 1 seat is 100% more than they had this time last week.

  3. I guess you mean: https://www.google.com/maps/@55.128386,-1.588501,3a,75y,43.6h,91.81t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1ssDWwl61C2xJJM_1GmrOQpw!2e0

     

    The name Smail or Smails rings a bell here, or have I got the wrong shop?

     

    Excellent quality building but the stonework is a bit neglected where the water has been splashing off the pavement. Hope it has been re-pointed since 2009 to prevent further damage.

     

    The shop you are referring to has a main shop in Newcastle behind The Globe on Scotswood Rd does it not?

     

    Also this is now closed and is being repurposed into either residential property or alternative fronting for a commercial premises.

     

    This appears to be the planning application:

     

    Conversion of existing shop and storage into 4 No two bed dwellings including demolition of modern rear store and part boundary wall

  4. As symptoms has said, get to the cause of the issue would be the best bet.

    Keep the windows on night lock in unoccupied rooms during the day. Trickle vents on PVC windows should be open as per code with condensing boilers.

    The problem is that a lot of PVC windows were installed prior to like for like rules coming in and a lot of houses had non vented windows put in then boilers which require ventilation after.

    As for the warm damp air which will be causing the problem. If you can recycle the air in the house with cool dry air it will also be easier to heat.

    As for neutralising the mould, rub down the affected areas with a sugar soap but use bleach, normal toilet bleach will suffice. This will stop the mould on the surface and still allow the wall to breath.
