The local council have just sent us a letter about how to reduce our fuel bills.

I find this a tad irritating, given that this is the same bunch of numpties who refused us planning permission for a baby wind turbine on our roof. Bah!

Eejits!

You could always send them one back, in similar vein, suggesting a few ways of reducing their communications and IT expenditure... :-)

Aye; it'd probably go straight over their heads, though :(

Indeed - they turned us down on the grounds that it might be too noisy. Given that we live on the bloody flight path of East Midlands Airport, I think the kindest word for that is "fatuous"...

Hee :-) I think Rob may be inclined to give them a piece of his mind. I can't spare any of mine :-)

Well, exactly. I seriously wonder what some local authority folk use instead of common sense.

I've heard rumours that some LAs have an unwritten policy of deliberately refusing planning applications, for no other reason than that the council can then collect one or more appeal fees as well as the application fee...

Too noisy..? That means they had no idea beyond what they read in the daily mail.

You think they can read? :-)

possibly a picture then, one of a bowler-hatted chinless-wonder clasping their hands to their ears while a Spitfire Messerschmidt propeller is shown in the background.
