The Wail at its finest

'It was like something from Apocalypse Now': Family home knocked down after couple sold it when they were given an offer they couldn't refuse | Mail Online

Just in case you didn't know what Apocalypse Now refers to, there's a nice illustration.



So, how much is that mud patch worth then?



Reporting at it's "finest*".



*clearly a new definition of "finest" that we've never previously encountered.

Anyone got a link that doesn't go to the Mail website?

It's blocked here.

I liked:

But on March 15 - just two weeks later - huge JCBs moved onto the site and demolished the house that had been there since the 1970s

Not regular JCBs, but HUGE ones.

Carpets, fridges and an oven left in good will by the Watts were also ripped out.

Oh no, not an OVEN!!

a scene they compared to the helicopter attack in cult film 'Apocalypse Now'.

How was it like a helicopter attack? Were they flying huge JCBs?

“But on March 15 - just two weeks later - huge JCBs moved onto the site and demolished the house that had been there since the 1970s”

It is quite possible that they are not reporting the full story (shock horror) as after 40 odd years you would grandfather planning rights.

its like the 'Father of the Bride' plot.

Powerless neighbours likened the demolition to the helicopter attack in Apocalypse Now

'Ride of the Valkyries' playing through megaphones?

struggling a bit with this one

so someone buys a house and then knocks it down

previous owners who did very well out of the deal are now whinging?

and this is news - the nosey old fu<kers need to crawl back down their hole

This is a new meaning of Property Rights that I hadn't come across. Even after you have sold your £500,000 house, you have a right to say what can be done with it.

Apart from Kelly Brook, is there ANYTHING of interest in the Daily Fail?
