I can't believe we're on 7.

In need to go and catch up on the last couple of pages of 6.

Still no CFN OR ANYONE.

I'm thinking someone will be there tomorrow. HOPEFULLY.

@FUNM I'm a photographer if that helps?

SapphireStrange · 31/07/2017 12:14

Fuck. Could they BE any more suspicious?

Planning people have clearly got their number.

I love Ken. He needs his own thread.

I could go paparazzi on the CFBs and stake them out with my enormous telephoto lens

shakingmyhead1 · 31/07/2017 12:15

two long lengths of re-bar will do it, and a bag of quick mix cement, one of each just about one inch in front each door and a bit of the ready mix and done, easy for Watt to remove but not for them

Can highly recommend a "ring" video doorbell, records all movements within a 180 degree radius of the camera onto their cloud, but also lets you speak through it to people, they have a motion sensor surveillance camera that you can get with a solar panel, maybe worth considering and then you would have evidence of trespass and an obvious detterent.

You can hear and speak to anyone it picks up, you could be like the wizard of oz, shouting at them from behind your curtains if they dare enter :)

gingergenius · 31/07/2017 12:16

@shakingmyhead1 what's re-bar???

WoofWoofMooWoof · 31/07/2017 12:16

Excellent work Monkey. And yes to Vin Diesel!!

Mudpup · 31/07/2017 12:17

I just hope planning don't let it drop by saying it's the back of the building not seen from the road. Any chance you can stop the power supply and water to the revamped flat. Sublet it!!! Squat now you have access of sorts, hire a flash mob to be on stand by 24-7 report a rare insect, bird frog bat being in the flat, get the environmental health interested... More publicity on this place the better.

gingergenius · 31/07/2017 12:17

@nyorksyo that sounds brilliant but also expensive?

FUNM · 31/07/2017 12:17

@ginger what spy cam would you recommend? lol SHe has to protect her garden when she is out. I bet they would still be cheeky enough to enter her property even if she was out...still can't believe anyone could be so thick!

gingergenius · 31/07/2017 12:18

@FUNM I can't top the suggestion by @nyorksyo to be fair! Sounds like the perfect solution!!!

Smitff · 31/07/2017 12:19

Haven't read all of this thread (or all of any of them!) but have you done a Land Registrg search to find out who owns the flat? Costs about two quid I think.

Ginosaji · 31/07/2017 12:19

@WhatIsThisWatt , tomorrow, once spangran has had a chance to rest i think she should make a ton of paella, a few vats of sangria and you should invite EKL, ken, nndn, your friend, army dad & miss jolly round to await cfn's return 😋

gingergenius · 31/07/2017 12:20

Also @WhatIsThisWatt try getting legal fees paid via your home insurance as I'm pretty sure this type of issue would be covered and you've got a cast iron case so it would mean a lot less financial stress for you?

shakingmyhead1 · 31/07/2017 12:21

gingergenius its a long steel bar we use in concrete house foundations in New Zealand, but in Watts case 2 fence posts might even work, it was just what i was thinking i would do, or 4 posts and 1 piece of ply wood ... wall ___

but obviously all hard up against each other

shakingmyhead1 · 31/07/2017 12:21

well that didnt work well did it

FantaIsFine · 31/07/2017 12:24

Hi Wattyy - been on since the beginning but have only just been able to read up to the end! Rooting for you :-)

Just a thought, you say you knocked on the shitty doors, it's so minor vs all the other considerations but I think I'd be inclined to keep any further conversations if they happen through the REAL door rather than the one they've so wrongly installed. I'd not be treating it like it can ever BE a door as it is into your private space. If you see what i mean?

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 31/07/2017 12:27

Oh please someone take pity on me and tell me who is Miss Jolly?

shakingmyhead1 · 31/07/2017 12:27

hopefully this works

Good point @FantaIsFine - I'm guess Ming adrenaline took over. Once the bench/plantpot arrangement is in place, it will be the preferred option anyway I guess?

WoofWoofMooWoof · 31/07/2017 12:28

OMG Watty ! I so wish we could all rock up at yours and be there for you in RL. These fuckers have pissed to many people off in so many countries. Those CFNs/CFBs wouldn't know what bloody hit them. Angry

gingergenius · 31/07/2017 12:28

Nice diagram @shakingmyhead1

notreallythere · 31/07/2017 12:28
