I'm fairly sure I saw a later video of some Council Scum standing on the roof of those submerged vehicles. Whilst they will be written off I imagine the roof(s) will have been severely dented. Council gets Council I suppose.
If its un taxed then the insurance (if there is any) probably wont pay out.

That was local kids, who had been surfing, enjoying the 2 new diving boards in the North Bay! The owners were on the shore.

Not removing the clothes line after taking the dried washing back in. The wife always leaves ours out and it really winds me up and I have to go and remove it. Maybe I have OCD?

Maybe I shouldn’t be so harsh on her, after all she is a rescue wife (I rescued her from an Essex council estate).

The other evening there was some beautiful sun set light giving my garden a lovely glow, I ran out and took a photo and then realised she d done it again

Well that's a lovely garden with accessories that require too much effort to be "council"; a sensibly sized charcoal barbecue from a reputable manufacturer that is no doubt used to cook quality meat from a butcher (not the biggest, chintziest gas-fired one available at Costco cooking Asda/Birdseye burgers), a wooden shed that required at least some assembly (not a plastic one that clips together) and a lovely flourish of colour. Short of adding an above-ground pool or AstroTurf, there's nothing that could make me think "council".

Perhaps you should invest in a whirligig clothes line? They are easier to stow.

The house we are in the process of buying has one of those. My wife hates them with a vengeance (no idea why) and wants it removing as soon as we are in. Only issue is the previous owner concreted it in without using the seperate, slightly larger tube, so it is properly stuck. Is it council to attack a washing line with a grinder 5 minutes after you move into your new house ? laugh

Do it early in the morning/late at night. Key is to play music really loud at the same time, so neighbours can't hear the angle grinder.

Dog barking helps disguise the noise too.,

Not an issue. They’ll just “find” replacements.

While all that is good noise cover, what you really need is a Facebook Marketplace ad for a "Free Cloths Line". Buyer to remove, of course.

True Council would be to use your RRS, as part of drying it out from its excursion at Scarborough, to pull the back bumper off whirly gig base out

Cut it off, then use the stump as a socket for a made-up road sign saying "Caution: Party Animals Ahead"

I was thinking of cutting it off at about 3-4ft and putting a table top on it, but my wife says not laugh
I may just get a camouflage cover for it and pretend I have cut it down.

It's in an odd place, but that would be a good shout as we have one of those huge cantilever ones.
