Mundane News (Part 1)

[classic33]

Because it has come down in one lot, there are huge chunks that need to be broken up just to move, so salvaging anything much that is useful would be..... interesting.
I am not the one dealing with it as such, the guy who is coming (now tomorrow due to various reasons) did repairs to the wall before.... and it then fell down..... I potentially smell a rat, but of course I can't prove anything, and he seems like a decent enough chap anyway, so it might just have been that the wall really did die the other night.

Red brick over 50 years old, is being sold at a local reclamation yard for £4 per brick!

Make 'em into key fobs.

Make 'em into key fobs.

Don't be daft. Where would you put your keys, when you've a brick in your pocket? You'd end up losing them & unable to open the lock.

That's easy...just take the door with you.

Its not only doors that have locks though!!

 

[swee'pea99]

No. Cars do as well. So put everything you have that locks in or on the car and take it everywhere you go. Sorted. (You can put the brick in the glove compartment when you're not using it.)

I really miss the blokes that used to sell the Standard . They used to shout STANDARD out every few moments.
Ignore me its a London thing .

The wall

 

[swee'pea99]

I seem to remember it was 'Stan'ar...Stan'ar...'

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Oh yes, I'll update you when it happens.

Here! Can't say what it is - it might not be mundane.

The ex-wall

FTFY

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

More.

The second last picture of the other wall is the bit running along the back lane (way past our garden). Considerably longer, but seemingly more sound.

Also, you can see the remains of the collapsed wall sitting at an interesting angle and propped up with wood. lastly, the last picture is of the corner at the front (where the kids are walking too) where another type of wall is used.

 

[hopless500]

Have to say MDB, it did come down very tidily
