Englishman Beats System, England Cries About It

<< < (4/9) > >>

Dissy:
So, this wasn't 30 miles south of London Iowa?  Stupid American Press.

Its kinda like Squaters Rights in Texas, if you're there long enough, they can't remove you.

Narr:
That's a very Texan way to approach things.  "We've been here for a long time.  Try and move us and we'll get our shotguns."

kamorth:
What i don't get is that he's trying to get around zoning laws that wouldn't have let him build it in the first place if he tried to do it legally from the start, yet there are neighbours complaining.... How did they manage it?

And never mind the hay bales standing there for four years. Why didn't anybody notice, four years ago, that there was suddenly a massive wall of haybales with construction stuff vanishing behind it?

Let him keep it and have a good laugh at yourself for being an idiot. (This is aimed at the idiots wanting to tear it down, not the idiots who think I'm an idiot who thinks the guy that started this thread has something to do with the idiots who want to tear the house down)

Ooo and and and.. If he owns the land (which i guess he'd have to do to build a house there), why can't he have a house on it?

a pack of wolves:
He wouldn't be allowed because it's green belt land, the UK is massively overbuilt so there's been a lot of regulations but in place to stop any of the little non-urban land there is disappearing and to instead redevelop disused areas in the cities and towns. And I'm guessing that his neighbours didn't notice because it must be pretty far back from the roads on private land for him to get away with this.

Still, it's an excellent bit of cheekery so I hope he gets away with it.

Jackie Blue:
The only way this would be any more awesome is if it were Terry Pratchett who did it.
