A bit council (Vol 6)

I can guarantee that if she got on to an owners group, there would be a solution that would take a lot less time that contacting the Daily Mail.

In fact there is a chap on Auto trader who sells a few of these Fiskers and kinda hints in the adverts that he can resolve issues that people have.

Also...weeds growing through gravel= council.

Absolutely, the st here is Fisker who is no doubt living a very wealthy lifestyle at the expense of his creditors.

Lots of buyers will have just looked at the product and the shiny premises and thought there was no more risk of disaster than if they bought a Kia or a BMW.

I'm having to disagree here, anyone doing some basic due diligence/research before purchase would surely realise that's not the case really

Park it in the front garden next to the old sofa.

I didn't know that builders merchants sold 'bland' by the tonne...

[ShredderXLE]

Tragic.

What a shame to chop down what looks like a perfectly healthy hedgerow and lawn.

[hidetheelephants]

And replaced it with the sttiest cheap fencing which will look st in 5 years and rot away in 10.

I thought it was an artists impression at first, CGI etc, but I thinks it's a real photo.

The golden rule is cheapest price regardless of the cost

That is genuinely dreadful, can't believe they took the rear hedge out too. Ejits.

[hidetheelephants]

given the nuclear gardening maybe the "lawn" at the back is astroturf.

[Sheets Tabuer]

and not forgetting the guy on the right dealing that kid some drugs.

[Xenoous]

That's so tragic. Imagine the wildlife you remove along with the hedges and plants.

[hidetheelephants]

Not to mention their own personal urban heat island effect from replacing all the plants with hard surfaces.

People don't care...I've grown a big chunky hedge in my front garden, neighbours love it so much they're moved their fence and have let it grow their side too. Rammed full of Sparrows and other birds, it's lovely.

A few years ago I inadvertently attended a local "fireworks display" by driving up to a well known high point to view on bonfire night with my girlfriend (now wife).

There was a lot of older "neds" in trackies who were putting on their homebrew fireworks display. They had clearly put in a lot of money and effort for it though. People were drinking buckfast, a few smoking weed, but there was no sign of trouble and I felt far more comfortable than at the organised ones the council used to run in the city.

The thing that struck me and still stikes me as very odd was how family friendly the whole situation felt. People were drinking, and the people there would be your first suspects to cause trouble, yet it was great.

Still can't decide whether the experience was absolutely council or not.

I guess "the big man" must have been involved so everyone was on their best behaviour.

That's the builder touting for business...

[Brummiebeau]

I don't mind the ''house'' as such but the fencing ruins the front. Also is the car parked round the back pretty much in the garden? That's the worst bit for me
