CFN Thread #9 (Better call Planning)

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.

Why is there an explanation mark there? Sorry

minxlynx · 04/08/2017 17:35

that is great news
Did the planning people say if the structure was safe (although if it wasn't I'm sure they would of told you or done something) ?

Crawling from the shadows of lurkerdom to do a happy dance and rejoice on this the first 'International Fuck You Cheeky Fuckers, You Don't Mess Eith MN Day'.

I don't want to lose touch with my extended MN family

SchadenfreudePersonified you have an absolute gift for comedy writing and I hope you make use of it in your real life. You've made me cry with laughter, and have contributed so much to the warmth of these threads. I think MNHQ should employ you as a permanent contributor to all AIBU threads to dispel any ill feeling and make everyone laugh instead.

@Changebagsandgladrags and @mumdebump

If Fat Rascals and other NY local delights are your thing and you're nearby, try the bakery in Hovingham. It's in the village, next door to the tea-rooms and beside the ford.

Can we have grand 10 for the name of the next CFN planning thread please

BoreOfWhabylon · 04/08/2017 17:44

Excellent news but please @WhatIsThisWatt start another thread before this one runs out. We still have much to discuss, not least the advent of the Specialist Builders.

There are many long running threads on MN - some have gone on for years - and I see no reason why those of us who have come together here should not continue.

Haven't laughed so much in a long time and I luffs you all Grin

I haven't been so involved in a thread since Helen stabbed Rob Bore!

chocolateworshipper · 04/08/2017 17:48

WE ARE NEARLY AT THE END OF YET ANOTHER THREAD!!

Everyone hold hands now, so we don't get lost on the way to thread 10.

Black - can you bring the hobnobs with you?

Nicky333 · 04/08/2017 17:49

I've had fat rascals from Betty's and I've never noticed a face on them. Not very observant...

Changebagsandgladrags · 04/08/2017 17:50

Hovingham...Maps says 56 mins away (why is Yorkshire so fucking big?). Maybe a trip there on Monday...

Nicky333 · 04/08/2017 17:50

Yes, CFN #10 (grand) is a great title. Perhaps with muhahahaha on the end.

Changebagsandgladrags · 04/08/2017 17:51

Never been to Betty's...live 6 miles away from it (in a cave).

WhatIsThisWatt · 04/08/2017 17:53

New one!

@Changebagsandgladrags it did say on the website it's changed owners since I was last there but it has all contact details if you want to email ahead to make sure they have Fat Rascals.

Yep, Yorkshire's really big! I'm further away than you so can't nip in and check, sorry.
