    Opened the box. Got it out, but still stacked/not spread out... destructions say "1.0 Hr" ... one hour? I'll give it until Tuesday :)

    Tuesday? Is that the time duration before you start or the anticipated finish time if you start today?
    :p

    I'll add my own step though - it's not no feet etc... so I'll stick some of those "floor protectors" on it during the build process.


    The picture you posted showed it with feet, Pastures. Small ones.

    It looks nice.

    As you say, could go anywhere, even a bedroom if you wanted.

    Ah, feet... that's good then. I hadn't actually looked at the "finer detail" ... they must be in that "bag of bits and bobs" then..... I'll stumble across them.

    What I can't understand is why it helps to 'bail out'. I can see that gets your car out of the firing line, but you could achieve that by parking it elsewhere - you don't have to be driving it. Meanwhile, whilst you are bailed, the cheeky s0ds are up to whatever it is behind your back.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I suppose it could give someone a rest from the anxiety of "what was that noise? What are they doing? Is it my car? What was that? " etc. And constantly having to look out to check.

    Just a bit of peace and a respite from the constant worrying that the noise, screams and thuds bring on.

    I can relate to that.
    On a much, much smaller scale, when my neighbour's boys were younger and were out in the street playing football, I was constantly up out of my chair to check how close the ball was to my car, etc., and with the constant thud, thud, I couldn't relax. And they were nice teenagers, not horrid little tykes.

    If the police are now getting involved, and I was one of the other parents, I'd make sure my kids were no longer part of the group pdq.


    It may take things getting this bad for those who aren't the ringleaders to be pulled away.

    It's hard to see where one can go and not be disturbed, but I think that a houseboat in the creek at Stiffkey must be on the list. Blakeney harbour nearby is a free harbour, ie there are no harbour fees due, and I think Stiffkey comes under the same rules.

    The only way to your boat would be by boat, or clambering across the mud at low tide, so you'd need a dinghy, but it cuts down on the annoying passers by.

    I think you'd be off the radar for Council Tax. Certainly, no mains water, sewage, or electricity.

    To be frank, I don't remember it ever being this crowded.
