My concrete flagged patio

I thought "concrete flag"s were a chav thing, only laid
by
council tenant on account of its cost?

Concrete flags do change and become dull, why no
reputable
home owner would ever use them.

Agreed. That and gravel. Just ends up all over the
lawn/flowerbed/etc. My drive is monoblocked.

It's a patio not a driveway you pillock.

Doesn't matter, there are much nicer things you can have
there,
consider upgrading to this:

Stunning. Really nice.

Too fancy for my taste.

I'm not so sure about the barbecue pergola kitchen-bar
structure.

Yeah, particularly the little pillars at the
bottom of the timber poles, looks silly IMO.

I'm not even sure if the flags are actually concrete, they
are
very white and are not the same as the ones on footpaths.

That's a bit better.

I had those crappy "monoblocks" on the drive at my last
house.
I fought the weeds for 18 years.

Bleach kills weeds stone dead. And jetwash.

I've seen a photo of your weed infested ******** drive
Hucker.
Very council estate - as you are

I'm too lazy/busy to clean it often.

Yeah, that's the big advantage of poured concrete, no
maintenance
required
at all.

Fine if you want your place to look like a council house.

None of the council houses here have anything like that.

What do they have?

A couple of strips.
https://au.pinterest.com/pin/236087205436331088/

My neighbour has that, with gravel inbetween.

Most of ours have grass or dirt between.

How chavvy.

Even you should have noticed that that
is mostly who is in council houses.

I wasn't talking about council houses.

We clearly were with those two strips of concrete
which is what the council houses here have.

I said my neighbour had it, and she isn't in a council house.

And when you asked what council houses
here have, I said it was those strips.

It's not a council house.

Neither are plenty of ours, but that is what the council provides
with our council houses, at least the houses that have their own
block of land. The higher density council housing usually has
poured concrete, just like all the non council blocks of flats etc.

She was most impressed when I put in my monoblock (mainly because
it
has
less weds than gravel).

More fool her. Poured concrete over the entire driveway
requires no maintenance what so ever weeds wise.

And looks like ****.

Like hell it does. Your fancy block driveways look like chav ****.

Something made of many pieces always looks better than something made
of
one.

Even sillier than you usually manage, most obviously with car bodys.

How can you possibly compare a car to a bit of land?

Not comparing anything.

Hang on, your council houses look decent.

That isnt a council house, just the first example of
twin strips of concrete driveway I could find easily.

People make ****ty driveways on owned houses?!

Yes, particularly those who can't afford a full concrete driveway.

Make one yourself then.

Still cheaper to have two strips, less concrete.

You can get those slabs on freecycle, because nobody wants them.

You can get everything on freecycle, including bricks and
blocks, because someone always wants almost anything.

Ours are dilapidated old brick buildings.

Most of ours are what we call fibro, not brick.
http://lanyons.com.au/wp-content/upl...03/Kenna30.jpg

What is "fibro"?

http://onelook.com/?w=fibro

That doesn't link to building materials.

Yes it does.

No, it's a link to 20 other dictionaries. I tried the first few and
they
weren't very specific.

The one that is given prominence on the right was very specific.

I didn't even see that.

Your terminal stupidity is your problem, as always.

I never spot things that are deliberately standing out, they're usually
ads.
