Between you and me Sean I may of buried 4 lots of gralloch under the oversite before concreting commenced . The lads still mention it now .I often wonder if it permeated through or not . Theres a road going through prime farm land near me with a Feckin solar farm and 1500 houses planned .If I find out just one has been bought by a raghead I’ll …….I will I promise . Edited to say that when the brickies found out who was buying it they made a right pigs ear of it .The usual thing to do is to mix packs of bricks so there are no sections of same type and colour in multi colour bricks ..The corners are were built from the same pallets so there’s triangles of red then in filled with multi’s then red corner and so on .I’ll take a pic next time I’m that way . Clerk of the works wernt happy but it’s still there lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the UK roughly 160.000 new houses are built per year. 160,000 less per year than the level of immigration, Is this really sustainable on an island the size of the UK?
