A friend is trying to sell his family home.

It's in a nice part of the city, near good schools and is a 4 bed detached. They have lowered the price from 450 down to 375 but no offers so far!
Any ideas as to why?
In recent years there have been some horrible crimes carried out by asylum seekers (see for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
A recent case was of a rapist who it turned out was a murderer in his own country. Whereas we ask visitors to the UK to apply for a visa and get a passport, and we don't allow foreign criminals or terrorists, or even controversial speakers (see for example 1, 2, 3) into the UK, asylum seekers are all allowed in, necessarily, and then placed in hotel accommodation, where they are free to come and go as they please.
Assuming that we still want to accept asylum seekers, (which I think we should) wouldn't we want to create a specific facility for detaining and processing them? I understand it might look bad and there might be calls that it is cruel, but if I was fleeing for my life and a country said, you can come here, but you have to stay in secure facilities until we have processed you, I would be over the moon!
We could even make exceptions for women and children, and older men, but younger guys (say 18-30) need to go into secure accommodation until we have processed their claims.
I imagine some people would say it would be cruel, but if my life was really in danger, I would jump at the chance.
Had a slight cracked tooth. It was filled previously and the filling lasted 8 years.
Had crown prep 2 weeks back to remove the cracked part and refill the tooth.
The tooth is now sensitive where is wasn't before, and there is this kind of twinging, nipping feeling I have, which I last had 8 years ago when the tooth cracked and before the filling.
Crown is being fitted at the end of this week, but it feels to me like there is another crack somewhere (at the back?) on the tooth.
Can the dentist just whack the crown on the tooth and it will hold it all together and the pain and sensitivity will go away or does it need a root canal? How does one know?
I am worried I will get a crown and it will still hurt and I'll have to go through it all again.
We knew it was coming. The polls were clear. They've voted like this now and will likely do so at the next election. This is what people want and yet there is this kind of head scratching going on. Threads and comments appearing with sentiment like:
"why on earth would they do this?"
"don't they know they're being brainwashed by the right wing media?"
"don't they know Farage is a grifter?"
"don't they know they will lose the NHS?"
"why won't the working class vote the way I think they should?"
At the same time we have a thread asking "Why is Birmingham most likely going to elect a man who was jailed for five years in 1999 for conspiring to bomb the British consulate in Yemen?"
So maybe, a lot of people in the country don't like the way the country is going and they want change and they don't think Tory's (in for the last 14 years) or labour (currently in) are going to do it. Hell they gave them both a chance.
Is it really so hard to accept that people might want to vote for a candidate who is finally promising to give them want they want, even if they know he's a bit dodgy?
Had prep for a crown on this tooth. It was previously filled but had a crack in the front side between the teeth (see image) and decay had crept into the dentine slightly, so I opted for a crown. The filling was replaced, and dentine was cleaned up. The cracked part of the tooth at the front was removed.
Dentist did the prep last Thursday. I have never had a crown and asked what to expect. He said some sensitivity in the gums, but to I would be able to eat on it normally, -just avoid hard stuff.
So generally the tooth has been quite sensitive, initially even to room temp water whereas it wasn't sensitive at all before. It's getting a bit better not but is still noticeably sensitive.
There is also some pain. I can eat normally, and if I press on the tooth it feels fine, but at certain angles there is a kind of pinching sensation, that reminds me of when I first cracked the tooth. This is new. If I run my finger along the top of the tooth I can feel it to (just not when I press down. Seems like certain angles/points do it?
Is this normal for crown prep? The tooth seems more problematic than before I had it done and I am a bit worried about getting the crown on and continuing having sensitivity or pain. Or will the crown stop all that?
Also is there a hole in the front of the tooth? I feel bad for asking, but there looks like there is a hole where the crack used to be (see pics, circled) -that's not a hole right? You wouldn't just leave a hole there.
Looking at a 60s /70s detached that doesn't seem to have been redecorated since the 60/70s.
There is a weird line across on of the cellings (see pic). I thought it might be water damage but it's bone dry and there is no staining.
Curious about this as most of the labour supporters I know who were big on Jezza and now all going for Zack. Anyone sticking with Keir and if so, what factors are influencing you?
Had a filling done back in 2018. The tooth is cracked (see pics) and food is occasionally getting caught in the filling as it no longer fits the tooth precisely. Anyway, the filling seems to need to get redone as the AI image seemed to show some progression into the dentine (see pink circle).
one dentist has proposed a regular filling (possibly needing an onlay). Another has proposed a crown.
I am tempted to go with the (metal) crown and just be done with it. It'll be cheaper (nhs rather than private) and I feel like it will be a one and done job. It'll offer more protection for longer (I have sjogrens).
It would be nice to just have a regular filling, but I feel like the crack and the dentine issue will mean it will end up being an onlay. But I would love it if I could get away with just a regular filling. I worry the crack makes that unlikely but dentist says current fillings will be strong enough to pull the tooth together.
I'm M 50, sjogrens, non smoker, moderate drinker.
Any thoughts appreciated
