Re watching from above, do you or NNDN or BF or NSK have or have any friends with a drone? Or maybe mners here have drones. We could have a squadron of drones!

Sayhellotothelittlefella · 30/07/2017 14:17

DH just made a very good point wattyyyy if you place a physical object in front of their door then in order to obtain access to your garden they would have to cause criminal damage to your property. It is therefore no longer a civil matter of trespassing but criminal and the police can be involved. His best suggestion is a low fence or herras fence with concreted in posts.

Apologies if this has been answered but I really can't keep up so am skim reading fast as I can and might have missed, but do we know for sure if the doors definitely open outwards and not inwards to the room next door?

thelonelyhamster · 30/07/2017 14:19

Drones with cameras... you need to get drone cameras so other people can fly them over and keep an eye on whats going on for you (until Spanish Grandma arrives) even though it's all hidden behind walls in your garden.

If NSK gets a drone he could possibly also use it to deliver wine and cake straight to you with no need to cross the road to the shop!

Just catching up before I go to sleep. ..someone was asking about Scottish flags. ..for some reason Trellis can cope with iOS emojis but no other. I did consider leeks and daffodils or thistles..but for some reason they don't have those either?

Glad OP you had a lovely chat with NNDN A lister of your choice to be caste and love that you have such support on the doorstep.

See you all on thread 8 no doubt!

Oh, and the tape? Enough already!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 14:23

Guineas: sit on the lawn munching grass, looking innocent. But might act as guard Guineas if they were still awake when anyone came out. Their squeaks would be heard for miles around.

We used to have GPs, too *Dude8.

And I can tell you now, that if those builders had come out carrying a lettuce, the six of them would have been killed in the wild, squealing furry rush!

Tigerlovingall · 30/07/2017 14:23

walkinganhour , whatd'ya mean, there's nothing special about mablethorpe?

That's fighting talk, you sure you don't want to re-think?

Rossigigi · 30/07/2017 14:24

Dp suggests putting a table
And chairs in the way of the doors.

Yep another dp who is also caught up in the thread

Pigflewpast · 30/07/2017 14:24

Ah thanks walking. Vango I was in there so long trying to catch up on this DH asked if we needed to go home because thought I was ill. Was very tempted but was in a very nice home shops sale so the need to spend money won, just

DeadDoorpost · 30/07/2017 14:24

So glad I read through from the beginning on this thread coz I missed the whole tape bit! Shock and DH is still not interested in this saga I've given up on him

Rossigigi · 30/07/2017 14:25

I wonder if they are also on here and that's why they aren't coming home?Hmm

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 14:25

NEW THREAD TITLE

We'll always have Mablethorpe

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 14:26

Oh - that's a suggestion, not the Real Title yet

Bluebellforest1 · 30/07/2017 14:29

I'm near Mablethorpe, the sun is shining.

To deal with the cheeky Doorzilla

Watty's pal used tape made by Gorilla

Some posters cried "That's too naughty -

Get out the WD 40 !

And then maybe a bit of filler!"

mateysmum · 30/07/2017 14:35

New thread title suggestion:

Team Watty and CFN round 7 - Spanish Granny arrives. Beware the flying paella pan!

C8H10N4O2 · 30/07/2017 14:35

"Where's Watty - The Mablethorpe Mystery" ?

ClashCityRocker · 30/07/2017 14:36

Genius walking

DollyPartonsBeard · 30/07/2017 14:38

I am late to the party here but as an obsessive Grand Designs fan I've noticed that when people have to encroach on other's gardens to build their mcmansions with huge basements it appears to be entirely appropriate to pay them handsomely for the inconvenience, so I hope OP will be adequately compensated.

shakingmyhead1 · 30/07/2017 14:43

Dolly yes but they also ask first and don't just assume they can make their own access, in a grade 2 listed home no less, to a PRIVATELY owned garden, that they have no rights of access to at all

Anniegetyourgun · 30/07/2017 14:44

Nobody's applauded the ABBA adaptation yet. Let me be the first to do so. "... how the builders come and they go and the fags they're leaving..." Grin Well up to the high standard so far.

Stillonthatbloodycomputer · 30/07/2017 14:44

Team watty # level 7
Then just change the # number each time cause this ones gonna run and run
