Woke up at 6 this morning to see a scene from 'Austin Powers' outside my house. The Council Weedkiller Man had manouvered his poisonous golf cart buggy thing between a lamppost and my wall. My wall had lost.
One lovely garden wall lying ruined in front of our 89 year old neighbour's front door, and a black bin's worth of rubbish strewn everywhere to boot.
Apparently he was last seen knocking pedestrians off the pavements of Malling hill. He's been seen by various witnesses. I want my wall back.
The police are coming to get you Weedkiller Man.

I thought I'd got a way with it.
Bloody nosey neighbours!

I never done the flint wall though, never even seen it, mind you I didn't see yours either Gazza!

If your wall ever gets knocked over by a deranged, motorized, remorseless - and, frankly, lost - weedkilling man, I know just the team to rebuild it.
Well done to Terry Smith and his gang of brickies from ESCC who've done a great job putting up our wall, even down to matching the old bricks with some nice old reclaimed ones. Even Mabel was happy.
I don't know why you lot are always moaning about the councils...
