12 May (Part 2) - Bexley Council are the ultimate incompetent bastards
A couple of years ago I acquired a new friend through this website and we meet up quite often.
A lady who once asked me to accompany her on a trip to buy a second-hand
caravan. I think the idea was that I might distract the owner while she carried
out some very extensive tests and checks, cameras, meters and probes and all! She is far from being a dumb blonde.
The
caravan was purchased but required a bit of modernisation to bring it up to her
high standards. Some was done by a specialist company and some she did herself.
My involvement was mainly to stand and watch but I did contribute a bit of
muscle when we changed the wheels and some advice with the installation of solar
panels and a suitable inverter. I gave her the cable for an additional power
socket too, but that was all. She is a resourceful lady thinking nothing of
changing windows that were not pristine and repairing locks, hinges, curtains and plumbing.
The ultimate goal was to tow it to some property she owns in central Europe
which she did at the end of March.
However while there the changing International situation persuaded her that
leaving the caravan unattended close to a war zone might not be a good idea.
She brought it back to the UK, getting back to Bexley on 3rd May, not much more than a week ago.
The van is obviously fully road worthy having recently travelled several
thousands of miles, it is full insured and bears the towing vehicle’s number plate.
It is registered with the Central Registration and Identification Scheme (the
DVLA for caravans) and the VIN number is etched into every window.
Far from being derelict it is clean and free of the algae which came with it on purchase.
Who is this Qasim (Kim) Durrani chump who
wants to destroy a caravan legally parked alongside the owner’s house in a little used cul-de-sac
for a week? What sort of fools pay him £133,419 a year plus allowances for
being a clueless idiot who signs any nonsense put in front of him? Oh. Bad news, we do.
Probably another clear indication of how we need a new set of Councillors who
are willing to clear out the dead wood like Durrani.
