Sewer drain full of Yorkshire puddings

 

[hash tag]

I did wonder if Yorkshire Puddings was a euphemism.
Should be interesting "Anglia Water are seeking the culprit but are not revealing where in Ipswich the drain is."
good luck with that.
FWIW, I note their footie team are also going down the drain at the moment.

We had a feral colony living in gorse thicket near us when I were a lad. Captured a bantam and she became a good companion.

Tough shit, he should have done it properly from the beginning.

I'm pretty sure he's going to turn out to be a builder.

I'm pretty sure he's going to turn out to be a builder.

According to an ex-local councillor mate it's possibly a mini-cab firm owner.

Which means Brum will cave with no penalty.

Either way, the council can already have him for mounting the path without a dropped kerb. It's a criminal offense, and to be honest, something I wish BCC would do more about, loads of my neighbours do it, and most drive along the path to then go up and down the guy at the end of the blocks drive. I'd be proper pissed off if people were constantly going up and down my dropped kerb to save themselves a couple of grand. Also the main reason I can't be arsed to get my front done, because then all the fuckers will start using mine after I've spent £2k+ to get it all done myself.

Yeah, looking at that "driveway", it's pretty obvious to me that he's just opened up the property boundary to allow him to drive vehicles in and out that way - it's not even a paved drive.

It also looks like it's the side of the property as well, not the front. I wonder how much of that is actually his land!

 

[cybershot]

Well, he's defo a twat, he already has a front drive, and just from this picture there's already 4 cars on that.

I am so glad I clicked through for that. I only wish the journo had caught up with Owen Smith of NFA to ask whether he thought having a no cash policy would deter him from robbing Tescos in future.

One of the comments...

"Mr Shersby headed to the store at 3.20am after realising he was "short on provisions".

Sounds like a case of having the 'munchies' ;-)

And those windows are far too small to survive that awful fake glazing bars nonsense, not to mention that the house looks like something a caddis fly would have built to live in, with little bits tacked on here and there. That looks like it might have been a rather nice double-fronted perhaps-Edwardian job before it developed a huge growth on its North Wing. And it looks like he was too cheap to paint the side of the house...just the front bit.

So that's it, then. Not just presumptuous, but a thoroughly Bad Sort all round

I would guess only the front had been rendered, and therefore painted.

I've seen a lot of houses where only parts have been rendered & the rest left as plain brickwork, as odd as that is.

Rich twat being a twat shocker. I bet the whole area hates him. Clearly neighbours that have done the reporting to the press and council as well.

Rich people tend not to be quite such planks - I suspect this is one of those "loadsamoney" nouveau riche types, made a bit too much money a bit too fast and has gone a bit mad on the conspicuous consumption routine, without having the taste and discernment to do so in a way that doesn't make him look cheap, pisses off all the neighbours, and ends up with him looking like a complete dick.

Proper rich people, for all they might be undeserving cunts, do at least tend to be a little more "to the manner born".
