Okay so I wasn't going to post until I'd had some kind of resolution. However, planning called today to ask if they could access my garden on Friday as they need to do some "further investigation" and have another planning official who will be there to oversee it??

They wouldn't tell me over the phone what it was about (it wasn't Nice Planning Lady, it was someone I hadn't spoken with before)

Thanks pp for the thread title - which coincidentally was very apt!

No sign of CFN/ builders etc.

There's now a sign up saying
NO ENTRY IN TO PRIVATE GARDEN
CONTACT SOLICITORS NAME if you require further information.

Now then blankface - you need to read Deric Longden books about his cat/s , sounds a similar set-up. :).

This is a fun way to mark place.

The first picture is the flag of my home province in NZ: Otago (I haven't seen it on here so far).

The second is the coat of arms for where I live now: East Lothian.

Everyone scroll back to Fanwank's Black Country flag.

Screw your eyes up (almost shut).

Look at it.

What animal's face do you see?

StormTreader · 03/08/2017 14:16

Err, am I the only one who thinks that the Leicestershire flag seems to feature a Large Intestine as one of its quarters? :s

Butter, jam then cream on a scone for me.

Flowers for everyone because this thread is just brilliant.

Marilyn I see a sheep

DooRight · 03/08/2017 14:46

Alphabites - should move to The Black Country.. (do you see what I did there..?)

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 03/08/2017 14:47

Grouchy,

Crab's interesting...

Reason I asked people is because I had a conversation thus:

DP: "So how's the assignment going? Don't you have to submit it by 10pm tonight?"

Me: "Supposed to, yes."

DP: "Supposed to? You've been at it for hours!...Oh, wait...don't tell me..."

DP/Me in unison: "...Cheeky Fuckers Thread. Mumsnet."

Me: "Well, I got a bit distracted by looking at flags"

DP: " FLAGS? "

Me: "Yes. I can see an ottery/ badgery face in one, if I squint long enough...no, honestly, TRY it...look: two big eyes, nose, white blaze down middle of..."

DP: Confused "FFS"

Someone tell me they can too. Please. Grin

Tofutti,

Sheep...again, interesting.

But DP sniggering at us now.

MrsHandles · 03/08/2017 14:50

bookbook thank you for the more up to date EY flag. I have a tear in my eye just from gazing at its splendour. *Waves from deepest darkest south. My people!

milliemolliemou · 03/08/2017 14:50

Can someone add the Hampshire Hog? Just don't let it into your garden, Whattyyy - and certainly not if Putin arrives ...

MrsHandles · 03/08/2017 14:53

And Blankface Now then! How's it goin? What dya know? Grin I feel at home once more

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 03/08/2017 14:54

Tofutti,

Ooh, I do like your couple with their cigarettes. Clever.

Maybe we're just more imaginative than DP!

And I certainly saw a PP's suggestion of a reverse intestine upthread in Leicestershire...

bookbook · 03/08/2017 14:56

MrsHandles - glorious sunshine here on the Wolds today ( just with a bit of monsoon shower activity too :) )

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 03/08/2017 14:56

Anyway, sorry, went off at a tangent. Back to OP's imminent visitation tomorrow...

PattyPenguin · 03/08/2017 14:59

StormTreader to me that quarter looked like an arm coming out of a garment and holding an upside-down dead bird, possibly a cormorant.

In fact, I read, it is a maunch - "..(from the French 'manche "sleeve") ... a heraldic charge representing a detachable lady's sleeve with a wide pendulous cuff, as was fashionable amongst women in the 13th and 14th centuries".

happypoobum · 03/08/2017 15:06

Waves at kitkat and probably outs self. Here is my very specific city flag.

That should brighte/on things up!

MissFitton · 03/08/2017 15:17

YY to seeing bits of intestine in the flag of Leicestershire. Glad it wasn't just me.

I posted my flag earlier and someone else has posted it too It's a large county though so I doubt we'll out each other.

Tofutti · 03/08/2017 15:22

What did you see, Marilyn?

IncyWincyGrownUp · 03/08/2017 15:24

I'm being rained on, so I'm procrastinating by reading.

Hoping the weather is somewhat less cantankerous for the planning visitors tomorrow.
