    Drat! Just as I was narrowing this guys address down to the exact house, he had to go and get banned, yet again!

    I wonder if mods should be quite so hasty to ban him each time he pops up, because some of his incarnations can be quite entertaining for a short while, although maybe not in the way he intends!

    If it were EU legislation we'd follow it to the letter and complain endlessly.

    Taking all the details at face value, that narrows it down even more!

    I'm genuinely puzzled how you know, or seem to think you know, that the house I referenced is or was local authority, although I can see it is semi-detached and does look a bit titchy.

    Houses facing onto the A303 in the region of Podamore Services are pretty few and far between, even more so those with a sloping front garden given how flat much of Somerset is!

    So a quick scoot down the A303 in that area with Google Street View might locate it.

    Could this be his neighbour's place? There's a bizarre looking concrete post rather than a laburnum tree, but one must allow for poetic licence, especially given CCF's florid, expansive (some might say pompous) writing style

    All I said was that my nearest services is Podimore.

    Just call the council planning department. No need to get involved.
