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.

I always thought chitterlings were pig intestines Raspberry

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 03/08/2017 16:16

Tofutti,

I saw a semi-ottery/ possibly more badgery-type of face.

Wearing specs, in manner of Wind In The Willows. Smile

But guinea pig's another close one, Storm.

Ginger

(my DP is amazed you agree with me...he thinks we're all barmy. Yet is following this thread in obsessive way, too. Just has zero flag imagination).

Schaden,

Unsure of what a Boston Terrier looks like.

Ah, see where you're coming from.

Prada,

Grin at your very own flag. Does Miuccia know?

kevstep · 03/08/2017 16:21

How does one post an image?

gingergenius · 03/08/2017 16:22

Yep Marilyn saw it immediately!

InvisibleLlama · 03/08/2017 16:23

@MarilynWhirlwindRocks that's exactly what I saw - the badger with glasses - but I wasn't sure I should say, as I do have a reputation for being rather oblique...

triplesalco · 03/08/2017 16:29

Here's Mark Harmon in front of a flag. Will that be ok?

kev - I am on the desktop site - so scroll down to underneath the box where you type your message there is a box saying 'choose file' - click on that to add an image . Don't know about the app though

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 03/08/2017 16:32

Invisible,

You're lucky you still have a reputation: mine was shot the minute I hit the gin around about thread 6, and told everyone I loved them.

And repeated it with Rioja here last night.

Like your personal Llama flag! (Though to be truly invisible, you would need white horizontal stripes too, I feel). Wink

HicDraconis · 03/08/2017 16:36

@Braeburns your hometown flag is where I live! Are you still here or have you moved? Should've guessed with the name :)

Also, these two say they will happily patrol the garden so the CFNs won't dare open their doors. They'd be in danger of being licked to death :)

I just see a conical flask, like in a lab, in the Black Country Flag. And yes to Leicestershire having a large intestine!

flowergrrl77 · 03/08/2017 16:38

and with @happypoobum 's posting of a flag, I realise I am seriously greedy, didn't realise the city I worked in had a flag TOO!

With that, I have a flag for the county of my childhood, the county I spent around half my life in, and 2 of my kids were born,

the county I live in now AND separately the city I work in.

If I am gonna be complete, need to have the flag of the city my middle child was born in, then I am pretty sure I covered all of my flags! (probably)

(yea, I have never really been one for online anonymity)

Gramgram · 03/08/2017 17:04

Yy, books, same for a PC.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 03/08/2017 17:28

Trying this out bookbook

If it works you will have my undying admiration and gratitude.

Hopefully, there will be pictures of my three babies. The big one slobbers on his bed - it is washed twice a week, but I am still ashamed.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 03/08/2017 17:28

HOORAY!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 03/08/2017 17:30

Get my beautiful dogs onto that Trello someone - the bigger is the stinky one, the springer eats cat poo and has breath like an open sewer, the darling little cocker (not that I have a favourite) is the Mary Poppins of pups and is practically perfect in every way,

They would ALL guard the garden!
