Couldn't remember the title of the last one so thought that'd do!

No sign of them at all, went out and looked through and all the lights are off, definitely not in. WTF IS GOING ON????

This thread is like a gift! It's so good. Although I feel very bad for you OP. It must be so so frustrating.

Maybe @KatyBerry mumsnet bought that flat and have been doing this JUST to start and epic thread. Thus massaging heir numbers and allowing them to charge as much as a Corrie advertising spot #conspiracytheoryorwhat

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 28/07/2017 11:43

katy brilliant suggestion.

MN are you listening? Grin

OMG okay I'm probably going to forget half of this, I should have taken notes!

The lovely planning lady was there with another planning man and a young lad who I think might've been on work experience he looked about 12 and rather bewildered anyway..

They didn't tell me a huge amount, however, I kind of hovered around inside at some points and could over hear them. The CFN HAVE MASSIVELY BROKEN EVERY REGULATION UNDER THE SUN.

They are in so much trouble, the officers literally took every detail to within an inch of their lives. I heard them calling to triple check that there was DEFINITELY no application for the work as they just could not believe it - they said they'd never seen anything like it!!

CFN HAVE 100% broken the law and will need to reinstate the window. They asked if I knew the builders and I've emailed them all the photos etc that I took for which they were extremely grateful. Grin

I've to give them a call if I see anyone anywhere near the bloody doors or in my garden - she even gave me her direct number.

They also uncovered a massive piece of the original brickwork that seemed to have been hidden under the bags of random stuff left by the builders - don't know what to make of that.

Sorry I've probably missed half of it out, my phone won't let me scroll up to see what I've written.

Still no sign of CFN!

I'll bet the builders were going to sell the bricks...

Star for you OP. You've been a dedicated updater. Please let us know what happens when the CFs get home.

Foslady · 28/07/2017 11:46

And fails on strike out......!

alteredimages · 28/07/2017 11:46

OK, we have cat pics. Screw the placemarkers, this thread has everything now. Surely it must make Classics, right?

Off to watch some Big Bertha in a vain bid to stop refreshing.

I am supposed to be going to Disneyland this evening (we live locally) but looks like it's not gonna happen.

Shock
IggyAce · 28/07/2017 11:47

Wow I wouldn't be surprised if you never see cfn again.

londonrach · 28/07/2017 11:47

😻😻😻😻😻

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 28/07/2017 11:47

They also put some kind of notice through the door - stop notice with enforcement or something like that

You don't happen to have a spare key do you?

NotLachsAgainMother · 28/07/2017 11:47

The CFN HAVE MASSIVELY BROKEN EVERY REGULATION UNDER THE SUN.

Yesssss!

I'm so overinvested in this thread, anything less than the latest update would have had me horribly disappointed Grin

Wishfulmakeupping · 28/07/2017 11:47

👍this is so brilliant

MrsMozart · 28/07/2017 11:47

Wow. Just Wow! on every level.

After the paint fiasco on our Grade II we swore never to have another listed building. This thread has confirmed that decision!

OP I have to congratulate you on your updating skills Grin

peonie83 · 28/07/2017 11:48

Omg!! The people will surely get prosecuted! This is crazy! Well done OP

Veronicat · 28/07/2017 11:48

Yay. I can go to the bathroom now!

WineAndTiramisu · 28/07/2017 11:48

Amazing update, I'm now waiting for CFN to return... Problem is, updates will be very slow indeed now, you're unlikely to find out what's happening between the listings/planning people and CFN... Although you do have a vested interest, so they may update you! Grin

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 28/07/2017 11:48

That's good that there is some original brickwork left. It will make the reinstated window look better.
Hopefully cowboy builders are scared off and won't come back to dispose of it
