[Nemesis]

Glad to hear he's leaving the staircase at least!

Hmm. If he can install solar panels on the roof then I'll have to reconsider my options :wink:

 

[Nemesis]

Oh, but this is Westminster - and they allow anything at all, including demolitions of listed structures. Cynical? Moi?

Of course the solar panels might be hidden from view. And dear me - he's probably a chap who has bought his furniture. Surely not a person to emulate?

 

[plumbers mate]

Perhaps they'll keep them covered during the day and only uncover them at night when it's dark and no one can see them ......

Ah, a snag there...

not to mention ticketing legally parked cars on a Sunday and then denying it all the way up to the parking tribunal to which they don't even turn up! Cyncial? Moi tu !! (pardon my pigeon french).

Surely not a person to emulate?

Good point.

 

[andrew gayton]

The Blairs have, however, decided that the house’s cantilevered stone staircase will remain.

bless them for that............

 

[Nemesis]

Yes, apparently LBC is something else they can decide for themselves.

Still, given the fiasco over the Supreme Court and Middlesx Guildhall (again Westminster Council...) if you are the PM or one of his chums anything goes.

 

[Penners]

I think I'll design a new coat of arms for the Blair family. A law book couchant on a field of BS, with the family motto: "Do as I say, not as I do".

I never knew pigeons spoke French. Learn something every day.

[Flyfisher]

They dont; they speak pidgin english. Sorry, too obscure.

I'll get me coat.

 

[Penners]

I never knew pigeons spoke French.

They do in France. However, the mice speak patois - as in "the patois of tiny feet".

Flyfisher - chuck my coat ever here while you're at it.

 

[Flyfisher]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Updatefrom today's Telegraph.

 

[Flyfisher]

Why do they need CCTV anyway? Don't all ex-prime ministers get full time secret-service security for life?

 

[skier-hughes]

To keep an eye on the staff of course.... doh!!

 

[Penners]

Could it be that our revered PM has qualms about the efficacy of the secret service that he'll be bequeathing to the nation?

He's cocked up most other things, so maybe that too.
