had this to say:

The point is decks wont rot until they have been torn up and burnt for
fuel, along with hardboard covered victorian panel doors.

finally makes it to suburbia. You can take the chav out of the tower
block...

How true.

They're only there to try to avoid gardening. A sort of organic
(fsvo) equivalent of crazy paving, upon which to set up a
carbon-belching 'patio heater', and a loud 'steeerio' to annoy the
neighbours whilst messing about with the disposable 'barby'.
And of course to set off fireworks at all unreasonable hours.
