    Just phoned the council and they reckoned that they couldn't get access to my property to pick up the furniture the other day, there's no way of blocking access! They've said they'll be out within the next five working days, wonder if that's just more bs...
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Snow has turned to dreary rain again.
