Eating the contents of your trolley while walking around the supermarket. Especially if it is a tub of pringles or a pork pie...hehe

Not seeing a skimmer or bottom drain or any filtration/heating/cover.

Having dug a larger koi pond out I know that's a good 3 - 4 skips worth of soil he has had to get rid of somehow.

My mates and I have done all manner of things when we've been in an advanced state of refreshment, but never once has anyone suggested digging a hole in the garden.

People from Scotland seem high up there as the perps.
To be fair to them, they have to live in Scotland. This place would turn anyone into an alcoholic.

It was finished a couple of years ago ... it's in the Sun today as well and he does say that when he cleans it it is difficult but seems to take pride in keeping in pristine.

Also mentions the future plans for the expansion, skimmer and heater too

FairPlay to the block for building it in under a week and for all of £300!

Correct. Our new-ish (2011) build estate has rules about sign written vans and caravans. Both of which are completely ignored. The most blatant of which, and probably one for the bad parking thread, is a chap with a large (must be 20') caravan that he parks along the road from his house. Rather than spoil his own view, or take up "his" parking space, he parks a hundred yards down the road in front of some flats instead. Should he need to move his people carrier from outside his house, he puts a wheelie bin in it's place.
When I asked our local council about any commercial vehicle covenants a while back, admist a "fk's sake I'm sick of all the s parking their bloody work vans all over our tiny narrow residential road with blind bends when it doesn't help that people drive far too bloody fast through it anyway"-fuelled rage, they mentioned that there's one that covers vehicles over 3.5t but not any old sign-written van. Is this a common restriction? Would they actually enforce it if it did exist?

it's for the body who laid down the covenant to enforce, not the local council unless it's a council estate).

So probably a housebuilder which doesn't exist any more.

Saved money by using "offcuts from work and "tiles found in a skip". Where's that "back of a lorry" thread when you need it?

Is this the only DM link to not include a value of the house or the wage of the owner ( i assume he doesn't have one other than JSA)

the DM is not know for reporting factual news or even close but that is the most non existent story to date, none of the facts make sense and the story is pointless, it is like they basically have the laziest journos know to man basically trawling google for any glimpse of a story to drag the next punter onto there website.

I think this is the correct place for this one, though I did contemplate posting it in the Dirty Takeaway thread.

There'll be people in that pub who have never been east of Penzance
I've corrected that for you, if you knew Newlyn!
I have not been in there for a while but it was always a very "locals" pub!

Caravans.... hate them.

My neighbour bought a caravan recently which is 4 foot longer than his front garden.

So did he store it elsewhere? Did he fk.

He simply extended his front garden 4 foot out into the single track road where I live, fenced off a public right of way & when told that the covenants did not allow caravans his response was, simply, fk off I don't care!

Refuses point blank to move it. Land owners are useless & don't consider that they should enforce the Covenant in case it upsets my neighbour!

Waste of space.
