Hmm, dirty developers applied for, and received, planning permission, for 4 townhouses behind my house. No problem thinks me, and off I went to work in edinburgh for 9 months. When I came back, 32 flats had taken their place. On appeal, I was told that planning was refused for the flats, to which the developers went to the office of the deputy prime minister to appeal and it was granted as 'sustainable development', and allowed due to feckin labours policy of more inhabitation per sq. ft.

All now used as social housing.

As for the pikeys, I chastised one the other day for littering and he threatened to stab me. He couldn't have been more than 13. More and more reason to disappear to somewhere less tolerant of the scrotes. Next time you go to France, have a look see where the French councils allow the pikeys to camp. It's not the green green acres of home, but normally on motorway underpasses, train interchanges and the like.

Suity apologised to the barman for that and now he's allowed back as long as wipes up after himself.

I meant this bit:

So I was in the pub tonight and I put my coin down on the pool table and waited my turn, after an hour my turn was due (as I was keeping tabs on things) and my turn was taken by someone else (part of the new family of Irish (Dubliners, possibly pikeys)) that now seem to own the pub - the same folks that gave me the grief initially. My turn was denied by all of them.

I moaned.

They got stroppy,

They offered me outside.
I lost it. Properly. Went postal.


I went outside and offered them out as well, went proper mental. Proper lost it.
Proper out of character for me, but I had had enough.

They backed off, cowards that they are.

I'm sure SY01 will give them a suitable welcome.

Cousin Suity has offered to put them up.

Nearby, a traveller in a distinctive white homburg was holding court with reporters. 'Don’t give them your name, Eamonn,' a woman shouted from behind.

Classic.

I had no idea the Anglo-Irish tunnel was open yet.

The Irish put the train on the ferry.

Wealthy people do not have a habit of dumping 5 ton of tar mac on your drive when you are at work and screaming "where is the gaffer, t'is what was asked for by the gaffer, 600 pound owed to me by gaffer and you will pay it now" when you get back.

Give me a wealthy neighbour over a tinker any day.

When I was working away Europe I came back home to find scaffolding erected in my back garden for a neighbouring building being converted into flats. No permission was sort or even notice given. I did not have time to get a Court Order. I faxed a letter to the developers. Two weeks latter I came back to find the scaffolding removed and a load of unwanted bricks and sand dumped in the same place.

Coz those nasty railway people won't let them take their ponies on the train?

I had no idea the Anglo-Irish tunnel was open yet.

[wobbegong]

Just a thought, if they are of Irish origin, why don't they return to Ireland?

If some wealthy corporate is doing something wrong you won’t get an army of bailiffs and police intervening.

I do have some sympathy for the so called travellers. There are wider issues and the law of the land is not applied evenly and equally. Just one example is one local developer built a new block of flats without planning permission. Retrospective permission was applied for six months after completion. No penalties were imposed.

Much common land has been illegally taken over by various enterprises and nothing is said or done about it.
