news 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.


Because you just used an analogy.


Didn't do that either.


I was talking about land design, then you suddenly introduced a piece of machinery.

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.


Slabs are on there 10 times as much.


Wrong, as always.

And gravel.


Wrong, as always.


Are you subscribed to my local freecycle? If not, you don't know.

Ours are dilapidated old brick buildings.

Most of ours are what we call fibro, not brick.

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.


Then link to it directly.


Better to show the lot in case you are too stupid to
know about that very decent online dictionary checker.


And how would you know which link I'd look at?
