Re: K3 front end

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be a nuisance neighbour and we try very hard not to be.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Good idea, hadnt thought of that. Although the letting agent claim it gets paid when the rent is paid every month so should in theory be paid within a months time, sometimes it isn’t.
