Popped to the solicitorsnin the car.

Passed HRH Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their entourage on the A1 - they looked severely pissed off, that’s the effect visiting Sunderland will have on southerners lol

Um what's a solicitorsnin??? Sounds suspiciously Russian to me!!
To be fair it's the effect it has on EVERYONE even the inhabitants!!!

Busy! Bloody poor excuse that is!

I heard IVA Fell into a Pothole and Surrey Fire and Rescue dont have a ladder that will go deep enough into the hole to pull him out!
That poor little car often gets swallowed up in the car traps of Surrey!

Poor "little boat" I do hope Peri's ok if the airbag went off there'll be no space for him in the car!!!

Did anyone know Royalty was going to be looking at The Sunderland today?

Battert kept that a bit quiet

Probably looked pissed off in their car after being chased away from it by that fking Pelican!!

It wasn't just the Sunderland. Or the pelican. The whole visit was a disaster. The Towers being made a World Heritage Site was such an honour. Discouraging people from parking in front of it and spoiling the view folk travel miles to see is another thing entirely. And then we discover Battert has put up a satellite dish! How he can love a place so much and simultaneously bring it into disrepute is beyond me.

Mrs C didn't want dessert so I made myself banana custard. That's banana custard straight. No jam. Cos I'm hard.

Ah good evening Mr GOG, so nice to see you again!!
I must say alorotom, your engrish sorry, English is very Good, considering you're from oop north!!!

Hmmm. Not a good look is it?

Wonder if the Curtainsider has all the chicken in that should have gone to Trivton Magna branch of KFC!

[glenrobbo]

It's good to see that Battert at least made a stirling effort to tidy the place up for the Royal visit.
It was a bit of a shambles before.

Just a pity he didn't have time to paint the satellite dish with camouflage paint as befits our world heritage gem.

Welcome back chap, good to see you again!!

Morning chaps looking at the picture of the control tower I don't see what the fuss is about, I've seen far worse, there was a lovely cottage down the road, loads of land right on the fore shore, some arse tore it down and built a monstrosity which resembles a cross between an office block and a prison!!!!

Not strickly true my good man.
I think you'll find that most prison inmates serve much shorter sentences than those poor unfortunates incarcerated in office blocks..

Morning all, had a new guy join the site team on Monday, he did not come back after lunch yesterday

My parents retired to Salcombe in Devon to an Arts and Crafts style chalet overlooking the estuary. All the houses in the road were of a similar age but interesting in their differing sizes and styles. One of my dad's last projects was to successfully object to planning permission being granted for a house next door to them. When they moved there next door was a double plot with a house that had been split into two apartments. The cost of reunifying them was prohibitive and developers submitted plans. Dad followed the process through all its stages objecting all the while. At the final hurdle as he and the developers presented their last ditch arguments it occurred to him that the committee hadn't realised what it was they had been deliberating about. They hadn't been able to visualise it. The plan came as a surprise to them at the final meeting. The plan put forward was for a simple flat roofed block covering virtually the whole plot as high as the top of the pitched roof of the building it replaced. Saying it was Bauhaus would have been doing Bauhaus a disservice. It was a block. As a single dwelling it would have been stunning to live in; a model of convenience with the most extraordinary view out to sea. But outside it was awful. To come across it among the cottages would have been a real shock to the senses. Dad won, the plan was thrown out and the developers sold to a local builder who put up a modern chalet style house. It's a smashing house, sympathetic to its surroundings. My mum still moans about it being an eyesore. Gawd knows what she would be saying if the block had been built.

I'll try to get a picture of the blot if I can today, it's next to a row of lovely simple cottages and just looks completely out of place, apparently they got permission as it's super dooper eco friendly!!!!
