Narrow lane

Watch the Highways/council roadworks department aswell. One time they came along the main road digging up the broken tar at the side and then put in new bottoming. They then put a nice new layer of tar down but had widened the road by a couple of feet. On a corner we had a steel h beam gatepost which was now about a foot from the roadside. A nice man arrived and asked why we had put a gatepost so close to the road and that we would have to move it back.
When we informed him the gatepost had been there for 18years he didn't believe us. They had painted new white lines on the road and luckily you could still see where the old worn line was and after this was shown to him he went all quiet and we didn't here from him again but the post is bloody close to the road now!

Good result but combine and half the local YFC with camera phones would have been more fun.

I think everyone gets sick of townies moving into areas and trying to take over the place with their peculiar ways. Traffic cones are a classic around here. They often go missing.

Deffo missed a TikTok opportunity

Developers do as they please and councils can’t afford to fight them.this is why they get away with things that we can’t.they even use their own building inspectors who must be blind as a lot of the work is atrocious.
nick…

Absolutely awful.... I still shudder at some Houses put up locally, and I saw where someone had snapped a roof timber in the build, a piece of 4x1 was nailed either side of the break, and the roof put on!

Our resident bellend put gates across a track thru his property we use to get to some fields. In a very patronising phone call he informed me it was his “duty as a landowner” (1.5ac) to ensure safe passage of traffic through the property and as such “had no option” but to fit 2 sets of gates. They’re not locked so perfectly legal. I made a new track down the edge of a field as had enough of the pr*ck, not gonna play the game.

Imagine my delight then, when on Saturday morning after the storm, it turned out that this particular “landowner” hadn’t been fulfilling his obligations regarding safe passage of power lines across his estate and one of his trees had flattened the supply to not only his house, but also 9 others, and our cold store.

Considering writing a letter informing him we will be holding him responsible for any deterioration in seed potato quality as a result of losing power to the cold store for 4 days. . Probably do more harm than good but pretty appealing.

Need photos. I would definitely be using the double gated track bit daily, if not repeatedly during silaging season. He'd soon get fed up with that. Good gang of silage carts all forgetting to leave the gate open.

Muck cart after that.

Can’t be bothered, life’s too short.

He’s retired with nothing else to do. I’m busy and have a life, not having any part of my working life dictated by his whims.
