1,027 irregular migrants arrive here on rubber boats in the last 24 hours.

Quite a lot of people don't care about humane.

I have just seen a document listing all the HMOs in my area and also the planning for more. There are hundreds of them scattered all over the poorer areas of town and also some in the wealthier suburbs.These have been bought under the radar and I feel sorry for any neighbours who find 5 or 6 young men living next door with no employment or compatible values.

Can I ask how you obtained this document please? I presume one uses a similar method to obtain this information anywhere in the country?

Admits I'm now thinking "When I was deciding whereabouts in Wales I might move to there was a town I rejected back then - because it had a huge number of old bed and breakfast places up for sale for very reasonable prices - as no-one wanted them in 2013". I think the outlook is probably very different for that town now all round.....just as I anticipated it would be....

Llandrindod Wells - that was the town I was thinking of and that was the reason I rejected it just-in-case.

A house full of British students can be a nightmare. I know a care home with a student house nextdoor and the noise through the night is terrible. Freshers is a particular nightmare.

That's often so too. I know it was all part of a package of reasons why I had to move from my last house (ie it was a very mixed area and that included some houses big enough to be "student houses" and they were). I wasn't near enough to them to be bothered unless they were VERY loud - but they werent far away.

Part of my reasoning for buying my current house - besides the "Where on earth is my detached house with garden in reasonable area? I should have had that decades ago" and so I had to move to a cheaper part of the country to get it was the general sort of area I lived in. So I chose a house right next to a "posh and going even further up" area in a lower-price/but reasonable area I thought would also go up. Yep...I did call that one correct.

What a brilliant name for a town, no idea how to pronounce it tho.

Just checked - and I've been saying it wrong. Apparently the first syllable is pronounced "THlan"

So Thlan-dree-n-dod

But it took me ages to realise that towns didn't have two names - it was both the name and the translation for the name on there.

I gather many people can't roll their tongues enough to do these pronunciations - though I've discovered I'm not one of them and I can say them if I want to.

To the locals it’s Llandod.

31,000 illegal immigrants have arrived on boats this year.

850 of those in the last 24 hours.

Truly shocking.

Today would be a good day for the small boats to leave from France. It appears that half the country is busy elsewhere striking, so won't take any notice.

Did I read somewhere (??) that the latest hairbrained idea is to hand refugees in Calais leaflets explaining some of the one in one out issues if they arrive in the UK? That's really going to be a deterrent!

Actually correct the above - DH went out to the boulangerie earlier for the croissants, (French bakers thankfully don't strike!). He said the sea was choppy, so, who knows, maybe there will be fewer crossings.
In my opinion it's getting like a game - if it weren't so serious.
