steve roberts 7,599 Posted May 17 Having to "bodge" bodge jobs...can't believe the standard of workmanship of the previous owner of the house that I've just moved to! I'm forever having to make the best of a bad job. It's got to the stage that I always expect a job that needs doing I'm going to encounter issues due to the cretin that lived here previously. 1 Share this post Link to post

Imo, pavement parking is inconvenient at least for pedestrians, often downright dangerous for wheelchair users and people pushing prams and pushchairs and should be banned. 7 1 Share this post Link to post
