Planning permission is not highways permission

Builders/developers, your planning permission does not give you the right to decimate the public highway by running construction traffic across it and walking away as if it is someone else's problem.

Remember that when you do your budget forecasts and be sure to include the full cost of remedial works and Local Authority fees etc, etc. If in doubt ASK. Use your common sense...

Toilets - officially crap

Having spent the sum total of 9 hours trying to fix, first the flush mechanism, then having to replace all of the interior gubbins in the cistern, (due to the long-encrusted seals being now broken, plus the modern fittings are all cheap, nasty plastic that doesn't quite match the old stuff) then having to refit the, "doughnut," washer three times. It came to mind that the design of toilets and plumbing in general is utter crap. No pun intended.

Surely in the 21st century there should be a more elegant & simple solution. Anyone? Please?!!
