Hi folks, I’m back!

Never missed me? Nothing new there then.

I have been away, I have, honestly!

I went away for a brilliant couple of months to visit my in- laws in Chiang Mai. There, things, they are a changing!

But that is not my story today.

I am back. I tried so hard to stay away, but, as you see, Pete is back!

I’m back in the UK, back in my abode, back in Lucam Lodge, back to suffer the Genesis Leaseholders’ malaise! (I’m not alone there, either!)

Same old same old!    All the old complaints, nothing much has changed, never expected much in that either.

So, rather than go over the same things again, let us have a look at what they have achieved. This should not take long.

While I have been absent it would appear Genesis HA have totally screwed our service charge accounts, after so long getting it almost right, now no one here has a clue as to how much is required, and we are now steadily getting further and further into debt each month while we await Genesis HA getting sorted!

Another achievement is Genesis HA deciding; quite arbitrarily, to increase their management fee by something in the region of 175%! Not at all bad for a company that has so far appeared totally incapable of managing a kindergarten, let alone sheltered housing.

Lucam Lodge is to have yet another ‘Fire Risk Assessment’. Our third in as many years!  The first apparently called for too much work in Genesis’s book, the second too little, but not to worry folks, the good leaseholders will continue to shell out, whatever!

While Genesis HA continues to flap around like the headless dinosaur it has become all the work that really needs doing here at Lucam Lodge continues to get ever more expensive, but not to worry folks, the good leaseholders will continue to shell out, whatever!

While the residents wait so patiently, for so many years now, for their new furnishings in the communal areas, the works that must be completed first continue to accumulate, the building continues to show increased signs of neglect and a an obvious lack of day to day maintenance, and the cost will continue to rise!

Don’t worry, the good leaseholders will continue to shell out, whatever!

Somehow Ol'Pete don’t think so!
