9 April (Part 2) Diversity is our strength

Fly tippingSince the AW1 CPZ was introduced seven months ago I have not had any stranger parking on my front drive. At the end of a cul-de-sac people who are hard of thinking tell me that it looks like part of the public road and maybe if one is not too bright there is just a little bit of truth in that. (I think I am being more than a little generous here but never mind.)

Yesterday I was working in my garage for five hours with the door wide open while messing around with wood and saws and drills and things. While there I noticed someone rooting around in my front garden poking shrubs aside as if he was looking for something.

I asked the man what he might be doing and through some not very good English he told me that he had been informed it was an ideal spot on which to dump an old mattress. I told him that he had been misinformed and without arguing he walked away.

I assumed he would find another place to dump it and I guess he has because the nearest big bins have gained a rather stained mattress.

Another cost to taxpayers caused by people of an alternative culture who most of us don’t want here. Reform UK’s plans for immigrants are not what I would advocate but they are looking ever more attractive.
