    How dare you! They are innocent victims! Now, where's the compensation application form.......

      The Wife™ has told me that I'm allowed a new shed.
      I've got my eye on a nice wingback chair, am thinking about getting an e-Pipe (I don't smoke tobacco) and one of these: 4L Copper Pot Still
      Having a bed in there would be a great addition.
      Wives never go into their husband's sheds so install an illegal Russian lady (or DCR they're the cheapest) down there. Just make sure you have a gap in the hedge behind so she does not need to walk past the house. Worked for me.

        Greed was their downfall. Caveat Emptor.
        I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

          I don't know why people think they can get money for nothing.

          They said they didn't want to put their house at risk, but did it anyway.

          Some people, tell them what they want to hear, will do silly thing to make it happen.

          Then they are upset when it goes badly wrong.

            They were almost certainly told that it will be safe and they'll get lovely returns from that triple AAA junk they were sold, or very strong intimated to make them believe it.

              I've been done for that.

              It was many years ago when I was at Somerset College of Agriculture but we rigged one up deep in the bowels of the college one night and promptly got caught in flagrante by the matron.

              Thought nothing more about it until I was hauled out of a lecture on "cricket wicket preparation" to come face to face with 2 representatives of Custom & Excise.

              Silly old moo dropped us right in it.

              Anyhow, some weeks later we were all "bound over to keep the peace" at Bridgwater Magistrates Court.

              Funniest bit was afterwards when the old soak who did the court reports for the Bridgwater Mercury came over and asked if he could sample our "product".

              Happy days
