I posted the below in the wanted section a few days ago. It did not garner much response, albeit the responses it did get were helpful, so I am trying it here (slightly adapted), in the hope that it gains some more exposure. As a novice woodworker, I have greatly benefitted from the advice...

I have been on the blower to Scott and Sergeant who stock 3 of the 4 brands you mentioned and I have ordered some CMT blades. Thanks once again.

The press, as always have a political narrative they wish to portray - and boy do they play it. And as for the likes of Crisis and Shelter who don't actually provide any housing, what would you expect them to say? You are quoting 2nd and 3rd hand information as if it were the gospel truth...

London is exceptional, not least because the indigenous population is a minority, liberal immigration policies amongst other things have and will continue to outstrip housing supply. Looking at many parts of the UK, a 95% mortgage and rent are not far apart in terms of monthly cost. London can...
