    See also - likes a little choried stuff bought off the job, justifies it as "insurance companies huv loadsay money" then goes home and blows his top at the wife when told the house insurance is up 50%.

    Lots of them (building is my industry as well, by the way) are almost too stupid to allow near tools.

    I usually assume the intelligent ones must have a bad drug habit to work next to the radges all day................

    They also have a tendency to act like c***s when in a builders merchant as well.

    I wondered if they'd go for an target area based approach.  There is part of Newcraighall where the pavements are huge and folk park there with loads of space for pedestrians.  It doesn't directly affect us at home as we have a driveway, but we quite often meet up with friends in Portobello and parking is an issue.  I think I'd feel pretty hacked off if I lived in an area where pavement parking is not permitted and received a fine, if people parking on pavements in other places in the same council area received no fine.

    It should also be remembered that folk with health issues use cars as well. Anyone who has health issues but can't reach the Blue Badge threshold will also be snookered looking for places to park as well.  

    One of the wife's friends lives in porty, and has a space allocated to her flat, but she doesn't own a car, so lets us use the space anytime we can.
