My grandmother (Scottish ancestry) had a small sign on her wall for as long as I can remember:
"Keep Scotland Tidy. Throw you rubbish in England" ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘

Ugh. I just looked up the difference between em- & en- dashes.
As far as I can tell, there are other punctuation symbols that can be used in almost all cases, rendering both largely irrelevant ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
(I only learned of the very existence of em- & en- a few years ago ๐Ÿ˜„)

All good so far, but walking home from work is going to be *interesting* ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

If a tree falls on a car, & nobody cares, does it make a sound? ๐Ÿ˜

So, that cake is chocolate with chocolate on chocolate with chocolate & chocolate? Or is it chocolate & chocolate with chocolate on chocolate with chocolate? ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฏ

๐Ÿ˜ฌ I tried before opening your link, but braided rivers change so much ๐Ÿ˜„

From my brief interaction with QV, they use past sales & values of neighbouring properties to calculate. It's a bit wishy-washy (which is why I had to deal with them). How that translates (long-term) into Rates is beyond me.

๐Ÿค” Is there a Key or Legend to explain the image colouring?
Or is it just to look cool? ๐Ÿ˜Ž (Which it does ๐Ÿ‘)

"Ballroom" is a typo.
It's a "Throne Room".

Given the amount of destruction (sorry, "additions"), I'm surprised they didn't just go whole-hog & use explosives ๐Ÿงจ

You de-value your property, assuming QV let you (not sure how much give-&-take there can be...).
I suspect the property in question will miraculously become much more valuable again, right before they want to sell it ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿคฎ

Somehow there has been a transition (of people like CEOs & politicians) from people who are best to DO the job, to people who most WANT the job. It seems those in power these days are generally there specifically for the POWER the position grants ๐Ÿคฎ
(There are always exceptions of course...)

Yup. Keep the proles stupid & working in the mines while the "upper class" go to the charter schools & get an expensive (I hesitate to use "good") education ๐Ÿคฎ

No no, it's "do as I say, not as I do". The leaders tell the 'flock' not to lie, cheat, etc; but those rules don't apply to the top brass ๐Ÿคฎ
