Nice People Thread No. 15, a Cyber Summer

Would it be possible to put a notice on the fence, with a line, delineating the extent of your property, and saying 'private property' etc?

If it happens once, it can happen again, and with a sign and a line, people have no excuse whatsoever and can't say 'they hadn't realised'.

I think you can get purpose made plastic signs quite cheaply.

Anyone else watching Money for Nothing? Just horrified at the ghastly piece of furniture irritating woman has agreed to pay £575 :mad: to get it fixed up? :eek:

Like the vintage fabric though. Though looking at her fabric stash my question is how come it isn't all full of moths? :eek:

Perhaps it's vintage polyester!

The other week £land had some slate hanging signs.... I could buy one of those and then stick my own sign over it and PVA glue it all down to weatherproof it ... and with my new nifty drill and a random bit of metal I could hang a sign on the other side of the fence.

I love that sign! You must get it! :rotfl:

And you're turning into a right little DIYer!
You'll be making things out of junk soon!




By robot man, do you mean the guy that made the steampunk robot?
I really liked it!
But then I like steampunk!

They're all mad as hatters on that programme.

It's not about the price though - it's free telly advertising to them .... it's just one big gravy train.

They make people who are daft and have money want things because they can "name drop" these chinless wonders that charge a fortune ... those who have tapped into the airhead society, by using current "buzz words".

Robot man's just a loon in all honesty.

She sold the fabric that she made into 2 (polyester filled) "eiderdowns" for £150!

The kitchen dresser made from ghastly furniture for £575 remains unsold though. Hmmm, I wonder why!

smilies aren't working for me, but there doesn't appear to be a "barf" one anyway.

My tip now has a little man that stops you as you enter - to check if you're tipping anything that they charge for. And they charge for a lot of things now. They're inviting people to fly-tip as they're making it too hard if you simply have "some stuff" and expect to take it to the tip.... it's mostly stuff you'd expect builders to have, but people with older houses, clearing out sheds/whatnot might also find themselves with a bill if they turn up with bags of soil, plasterboard, rubble, an old car tyre, any building materials (tiles or slates or blocks, or windows/glass, or toilets/sinks/baths).

That's worrying, because if they start charging for things like old paint or potentially flammable things, you'll get people pouring it down drains rather than risk being charged. And old cans of propane will get chucked in the household rubbish with all the risks that that could bring. Not to mention fluorescent tubes and light bulbs with mercury in.

Hugs to you all, I've missed reading a few days, but think I'm caught up now.

Hugs to you too, maggie.

Two of my friends live (in different parts of the country) in houses that have this kind of allocated parking. Each parking space is surrounded by a white line, and has the house number painted in it. There aren't any signs.

Although, considering the car that I saw parked with no regard for the white lines at all in a car park yesterday, that might not always work. He'll probably have got a ticket for it, too, because they're very keen on ticketing people who park outside the lines in that car park. Perhaps he'll learn what white lines are!

Still can't see it. I wonder if NP who can see it in your post can see it in my quote.


Never mind. Thanks for trying. At least PN told me what the text read.

Can you see other pics or is it just this one?
