This might be a tad late and you've no doubt seen it if you're a Brit but I just love this from the Quiet Man:
What do you do when you wake up one morning to find that the home you've invested yourself into for your retirement years is on the planning board at some local council office, scheduled for demolition?
Oh I love it and why stop there? Wonder where the unelected PM, Gordon Brown, technically resides, aside from N10? Maybe a community garden could be created on the site of his home too.
The thing is though that the demolition of Leahy's and Brown's homes would be a drop in the ocean for them.
A grandmother from Merseyside has applied for planning permission to demolish the home of Tesco chief executive Sir Terry Leahy.Do read the rest of it if you haven't already caught it. We're talking here, of course, about the Arthur Dent Dilemma.
Dot Reid is retaliating against plans to bulldoze her home and 71 others in Kirkby, to make way for Everton's new stadium and a Tesco supermarket.

I hate Tesco, I do. They're getting far too big for their boots and there are so many of them I doubt there is really any need at all for them to build another store.
ReplyDeleteThere are 5 Tesco's in Dundee. 5, 4 large (huge) stores not even 5 miles apart and one smaller one in town.
One might say that that was a little excessive.
Good for her!
ReplyDeleteWhat Liz said! A woman after my own heart. Fight back. You will probably lose but don't give up the good fight until all is really lost.
ReplyDeleteJames I hope you're doing a lot of praying. Because I would just love to see this happen.
