Min - yer blushes are spared (mine too) cos my landing pad has already been dealt with!!!
As for the troosers - too right!
And the gravel - well - I'd like to put it in a tray, take it to the offending council - and encourage whichever official that ok'd the road surfacing to be done this way, to sit on and experience it.......
..... retribution shall be mine - oh yes!!!
