Title: absolutly bloody amazing
Post by: Bacon Butty Man on 01 April 2008, 17:22:18
i was  clearing out some stuff in my garden when this car pulled up, a guy got out and politely introduced himself as a coucil planning officer, as i have not done any building work apart from a new back gate, i thought what does he want, some one has reported me for putting a laminated sign on my garage door for my business and informed me that with ouut planning permission i was violating coulcil planni9ng regulations, there had been a complaint from some saddo neighbour :-/ >:(.
he insisted i rip it down there and then.
this sign ws only paper thin and only laminatedand was a prototype for one i was having made up professionally.
whaa sad state of affairs when i cannot advertise my business on my own house. >:(

I spose it made it look as you were running your business from your home  :-/

Pathetic i know........and how many times do you drive past houses having alterations done and the builder has left his sign up advertising.

Answer.......get some magnetic ones made up and slap them on the omega when parked up in the driveway.....they carnt do buggar all about that  ;D

Hmmm seems to me that some people have lost the balls to actually talk to someone to air their grievancies before taking affirmative action.  They would rather hide behind some jobsworth with a clipboard.

rather pu$sies!
