A question about : Sheltered Housing

Hello everyone, I hope this is the correct forum for my problem/question.

We live in a mixed sheltered housing scheme made up of flats and bungalows. We're in a bungalow. When we moved in 10 years ago the kitchen was fitted with a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket. I understand that the flats were similar.

Now the HA are taking both away. The extinguisher and the blanket.

A question about : Construction Industry Holiday Stamp Scheme

Does any know of the CI holiday stamp scheme which allows someone to claim back the stamps they paid back in the 70s and 80s? I have heard you need to have 80 weeks. My husband has 59 weeks and wonders why we can't claim these back?

Any help much appreciated.

A question about : Cheap Lurpack Butter

I was in Asda in Poole yesterday, and, as usual, a 500g pack of Lurpack Butter was Ј3.25, or on special offer of two for Ј5.

However, immediately above these were 1Kg packs of the same thing for Ј3 each! I bought two.

So take your choice - Ј3.25 for 500g or Ј3 for 1Kg.

Talk about crazy pricing! But get it whilst you can.
