    As far as I remember, the reason he was called Bungalow Bill was because everything was .. erm .. downstairs if you catch my drift.

    From memory, one of Joan Collins's paramours - Bill Wiggins?

    I'm disabled and moved into my first bungalow two years ago, it's great being able to use all the rooms. Before this I was in a small two bed terrace but couldn't get upstairs so bedrooms were no good to me, now I have three bedrooms and loads of space

    The original Bungalow Bill was on the Beatles White Album. Apparently, the song was a John Lennon mickey-take about someone who shot wild animals in the Indian jungle.

    'Bungalow' is an Indian word, or probably a corruption of it.

    Yeah, I know, more boring than the Joan Collins story!:rotfl:

    You can always extend to make something which blends in with surroundings

    He'll go through the full appeals process and probably get ten years use from it, just like Mr Fidler:

    "minor adjustments" = yeah ....right:cool:

    as regards that particular "extension" on a bungalow (ie "spot the bungalow part of that mansion if you can").

    Now what is that phrase coming to mind about "lies, darn lies and terminological inexactitudes" or something?:cool:

    So how many people was he hoping to bulldoze over to get away with that one I wonder? Congratulations to the official that stood up to him there.
