    Ouch. Won't be too long before they'll start putting "ramps" at the front and back doors then!

      Old housers are much better




      for draughts, leaky roofs, creaky floor boards, damp, small kitchens, tiny box room bedrooms etc. etc.
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            Already been done......


            All new build houses now have to have at least one door that is accessable by wheelchair.

            Or at least that's what Ben Bailey told us when we complained about the fact that the 'Ramp' actually acted like a slide forcing water to collect around the front door.

            I'll never buy a new build again.

              If only the ramp could go up to the front door? What with that nasty water obeying the laws of gravity and all that.

                And you wonder who runs the planning department at the local town hall. All local authority planning officers were replaced by Dalek duplicates years ago.

                Pathetic Earth creatures. You just carry on thinking it's for wheelchair access, but come the invasion....

                Wait, I may have said too much.

                  One of the many reasons we regretted buying the house.........

                  One of the things we liked were the decent room sizes (very decent for a 2 bed end terrace), however they were so badly laid out that the extra room was totally unusable!
