You just hope you remember which side you left the steps when you get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet

not really a problem for the younger ones on here

True, they’d probably just pee from the balcony into a bucket below

The stair treads should be on top of the side planks

Yep. Somebody has put a lot of extra effort into getting that wrong.

Somewhat off topic, but from another thread recently, I was surprised to learn that often car insurance is more expensive if the car is garaged than if parked on the drive. I'd not done any comparisons, but had assumed garaged would be cheaper as there's less risk of it being stolen, particularly with the rise of cases where thieves break into the house to get the keys for whatever is parked on the drive.

Apparently the reason given was that there are more insurance claims for garaged cars because more cars are damaged by incompetent drivers bending the car as its put in or taken out of the garage, rather than just leaving it on the drive.

I guess this makes sense - especially with the comically small garages which are so prevalent these days, and the increasingly bloated dimensions of the average car/SUV, but it still surprised me.

Plus paint and ladders and tool accidents.
And...
If (going back a few years) someone breaks into your garage they have all the time and often tools in the world to get it hot wired. With no one looking.

On the wonky and to one side, maybe they really wanted a Discovery 5?

Arnold Clark plates by any chance?

I think JLR techs have a competition running to see how skew-whiff they can put the rear plate on a customer car without the owner complaining.

I had to send my Range Rover back three times before they fitted it straight. I think it was probably more wonky on the second attempt than the first.

I started humming the theme tune to Monty Python's Flying Circus.

It's nice to think that the human eye can spot that it's no t 90⁰. I wonder if 89.5 would be noticeable ?

[Sporky]

That's actually about 88° (from taking it into CAD and measuring).

This is 89°. I think you can tell because there's a 90° corner for the image itself. If the whole thing was rotated I don't think it'd be at all easy to spot.

[Mars]

It would make my teeth itch more if it had the right-angle legend inside the angle, with 89 degrees next to it.

[Sporky]

I can do that if you like.

My mate is a salesman for Land Rover and he was talking about this last year. He was saying the JLR Techs simply do not care, and put the plates on wonky all the time. They even laugh about it when they do a really bad one.

I think that's pretty obvious from all the horror stories about their dealerships.
