Builders, well the ones doing next doors ridiculously huge extension that has been dragging on for months, they think they are on a building site, hey arrive at the crack of dawn and you can hear them noisily hocking up and gobbing, then they have a loud chat with loads of effing and blinding and there is one that has epicly long and aggressive mobile phone conversations with his girlfriend.

Just heard, "Wheres this fk Chippy"

"How the fk should I know"

Returns 15 mins later and parks halfway across our drive.

Nothing against builders but is it part of the creed to be generally uncouth at all times ?
Are you living in my house ?
We have exactly the same scenario.
What started as a polite conversation with our neighbour a year ago about a possible extension they were planning now regularly turns into raging arguments.
N argument with the neighbours, lovely family, and the builders are mostly ok but have been woken at seven am or earlier to this for like 10 weeks now and it doesnt seem anywhere near finished, there are always at least 5 vans for different trades, so some come and some go. The best bit was they binned a faulty smoke detector in an empty skip so guess who had to search for it going off, amplfied by being in a skip, at 3am ?

Just sick to the tits of builders, we had a week or two of them doing our underpinning, nice chaps but its the mess, the racket and general agro that grates.

Of to Atlanta in the morning for a week so will be builder free !

The same is with Japanese trains, very quite and clean. It does raise an important point, is the term council exclusively UK or can you have council Japanese / Korean / etc.
I'm in France at the moment and it exists here. Lots of it.

Shooting Brakes are 2-door estates.
They were until Mercedes came along.

What I fail to understand in these cases, is why the bailiffs, assuming that's what they were, take physical action with the people being evicted.

To my mind, the bailiffs committed the first assault.
It was my understanding that they are required to contact the police for assistance when legal entry is being denied. There seem to be a lot of these videos on youtube, and I watched a similar clip in which the bailiffs were forced to leave by the police, as their documentation wasn't in order.


According to Citizens Advice;

Reasonable force doesn't include the following, because they are all ways in which the bailiff isn't allowed to enter your home or premises:

pushing you or anyone else out of the way
getting in through an open window
breaking a window to get in
taking up floorboards to access part of your property
climbing over a fence or wall.


I saw at least three infractions and several common assaults on that basis.
Why would anyone (meaning the bailiffs) take such risks, especially when being filmed?
It's someone else's money, why risk a beating or jail time for it?

I'm as bloody minded and self-righteous as the next guy, but I would stand back and wait for the police to do their job.

Not at all! The Bentley below is a typical English shooting brake.

builders doing my extension a few years back were great, except one bricky liked the radio full blast, I had complaints, I asked him to turn it down, next time I turned it down, later it was full blast again, i kicked it off the scaffolding,
new bricky following day.

They still are.

Just because a manufacturer calls it a Shooting Brake,, doesn't mean it is.

Case in point - the Passat CC.

ITS NOT A fkING COUPE IF IT HAS 4 DOORS!

last year I attended my daughters nativity play which is now of course called 'The Holiday Play' after sitting through almost hour of where she had a 15 second performance.

At the end when we were all clapping the performance a gentleman to my right put his fingers in his mouth and whistled which encouraged others to do the same!

I put forward that as a bit council

Yes, the local council, who authorise these exellent deterrents to those who charge through 30mph built up areas and town centres.

(That feels better.)

I accept that this post is council for me going off on one.

My wife mentioned this earlier today - how speed humps/chicanes seem more prevalent in areas of high density urban housing. I suggested it was because there were more kids likely to appear from behind parked cars etc and there were more likely to be people driving inconsiderately. I suppose it's the ultimate "Which came first" - the inner city housing or the knobhead drivers?
