Pig sick
Seasoned journalists at Inside Housing were momentarily caught up in something a little less cerebral than the goings-on in the housing sector this week.

An explosive crime
There are occasions when damage to a house cannot be said to have been the fault of the tenant, landlord or contractor.

Innovate or die. It is a statement which resonates in almost all industry and is surely apt for repairs and maintenance.

Comment on: Out of the woodwork
Since we are all feeling so musical lately, thought I would ask what song everyone thinks represents the current state of the housing sector. Suggestions?

Comment on: What's in a name?
Thanks F451,
it is something which has bugged me for ages. This general assumption that young people want to speak or be spoken to in this way is outdated and negative. We have to ask, if we are trying to make a message attractive to young people, are we giving across the right message?
Surely we should give them some credit to be able to make up thier own mind whether or not they want to do something.
I can guarantee that if a person in their late teens/early twenties is looking for a job they are trying to find out where it is, what the salary is, what it entales. They are not being drawn in by faux-street language which, as i said before, only reinforces stereotypes. -
