Sash Repairs

If you care about the period detail of your home, always consider renovating your sash windows rather than replacing them with uPVC. Plastic windows always look out of place on a period property. Sash Repairs Limited (based in London) offers the complete service for sash windows with window replacements to renovation and repair work. http://www.sashrepairs.co.uk/

The Conservation and Thermal Improvement of Timber Windows

Double glazing in particular may involve the loss of the original windows and the introduction of a range of details which can ruin the appearance of the building." http://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/windows/thermal.htm

Mandy Rice-Davies

Regina v Ward was undoubtedly one of the most vindictively rigged trials of the 20th Century. The Macmillan government, plagued throughout their office by spy cases, were eager to shift the security aspects of the Profumo business out of the spotlight. Aristocratic by nature and clinging to the old values of a swiftly vanishing past, they cast about for lessor, more expendable mortals on who to pin the blame.
The establishment aimed their arrows at Stephen Ward and a couple of teenage girls who were doing nothing more than chasing a good time. The police with Machiavellian cunning threw in a couple of known prostitutes to muddy the waters.
Three days after Profumo confessed and resigned, Stephen Ward was arrested and a case that barely had legs to stand on was dragged kicking and screaming into court.
Ward may have been a man with lax moral standards and uncertain principles, but other than a few muddled insinuations from the priggish prosecution no evidence was produced to show that Stephen Ward was a pimp. There is no doubt that had Ward not committed suicide, the case would have been dismissed on appeal.
In regard to myself, the worst I could be accused of is bad judgment and a healthy libido. I was only eighteen years old when the storm broke and after getting on with the rest of my life 1963 still casts a shadow. However a scandal is a scandal whatever the outcome and there will always be those who for personal gain or simple spite will try to distort the truth.
