Art.

If you turned that photo into a painting and hung it in a London
gallery, you'd be famous.

Or maybe you could actually buy the items there and do a confessional
exhibition like Tracey Emin.

Then, when it's famous, sell the "installation" for £142,000 to an art
collector, and comfortably retire ....

I think to count as a garden there has to be, at least, the possibility
of things growing in it. It's a back yard entirely covered with some
kind of timber decking covered with debris of some sort; I'm sure the
owner has his reasons.

The owner does not know about it,

It's a renter property and the tenant installed it along with the shed
at the back with a bar in it and the conservatory.

It's going to cost thousands to sort out.

One thing that worries me about decking is rats. I know of several folk with
this trendy patio system, and they have all had rodent issues. I'm not quite
sure why, unless they eat there and it goes between the cracks when they
drop food.

I recall an article in a paper, probably The Sun that went over the
various luxuries enjoyed by households where one or more persons were on
benefit.

This is more recent and it shows that the higher socio-economic classes

may have misunderstood?


My bad, you are indeed correct. I had inverted the groups.

So, going back to where I asked 'Evidence?' it turns out that you have
provided evidence for the opposite of what you were saying! :-)

Glad you enjoyed the car.

I have been to the other house but could not get him to answer the door
but I knew he was in.

The garden is worse than the first one. I might sneak a few shots of the
inside if possible when I do it.

Given in the UK you are more likely to subscribe to Sky TV if you're on
benefits that would be a reasonable deduction.

Evidence?


I recall an article in a paper, probably The Sun that went over the
various luxuries enjoyed by households where one or more persons were
on benefit.

This is more recent and it shows that the higher socio-economic
classes are more likely to enjoy just Digital Terrestrial TV:

Look at Figure 2.35



I had a look at Fig 2.35, and I formed the reverse conclusion.

AB form 27% of the population, and they are 26% of the DTT only group.
DE form 25% of the population, and they are 31% of the DTT only group.

Hooked up to illegal cable is not on the figures.

My recollection was an article a decade or more ago and viewing styles
have since changed a great deal. I can find no reference and so admit
defeat.

Yes, please do feel free to be ungracious and rub it in! :-)
