The company that used the disabled toilets (Celtic Research) is not being filmed. Also the FRC where they were filmed as I am sure you all know has closed.

Fraser's researchers are based in the office so we never have a problem with making phone calls.

I presume that 'inelegance' is a mistranscription of intelligence? ::)

Yes I said "inelegance" referring to the viewer not my self, "intelligence" would have been a better spelling to use.

Sorry but I am very Dyslexic and struggle when spell checks don't pick up my blatant errors.

Hi Neil

Good to see that even the experts have found this site!

£100k spent on certificates per year is a pretty staggering sum, but what percentage of these would you say are incorrect, or irrelevant? (Just as a rough gauge for someone who would think twice about spending £100 per year!  ;D)

We probably spend about 1/2 the money just on priorities (24 hour certs) of these on some cases 75% may be wrong
Of the £7 ones probably 75% are correct. so may be 30 to 40% off all certs we order endup in the NBG section (No B...... Good).

"cant see any estate values"

This may be due to the scams/cons from people claiming to be 'heir hunters' that happened after the first series was shown.

Thanks Neil, good to know the odds.

I think I'll have to start an NBG section for mine!

Welcome to Rootschat Neil  ;D

I loved heir hunters first time round, I'm glad there's to be another series.

Have you thought of putting the unwanted certs on the board for it here  ;D ;)

By the way, once you find your way here you're hooked forever  ;D ;D ;D
