I walked past this house yesterday, and took the photo
just after they'd finished demolishing their garage to
make way for an extension.

A surprisingly common sight, I've seen a few like that. I also see the
odd meter\consumer unit combo swinging in the breeze loosely wrapped
in a bin bag which helps to submerge the equipment in collected water
rather than keep the units dry.

Well there is an Acro prop.....


Actually I've seen installations like that in several cities in Eastern
Europe. Typical thing in a house with front garden is that the gas
main comes up out of the ground at the front wall and the meter is
fitted there. Then the pipe to the house is run across in mid air,
1-2m above the ground, unsupported, to the house which could be 5-10
back.

Pure class I love it. I bet a pikey spotted it before you and the pipework
will be gone in the morning.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember paranoid bob
saying something like:

Arse. There's nothing racist about slagging off thieving pikey scum.
