Mark Connolly Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 The number of places creating outside seating/waiting areas that block more than half the pavement. Prime example being the new hipster p***k barbers on Byres Road with their stupid roped off section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I remembered what it looks like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also always suspicious of barber shops which suddenly open in premises that size with that amount of money spent on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea why they're even required to wear them at all other than a token 'we need to set an example'. 1 hour ago, Mark Connolly said: The number of places creating outside seating/waiting areas that block more than half the pavement.

Theres a pub in Dundee that had the pavement out front fixed up and around their front door by the council who, for reasons unknown, left the about 8ftx8ftout the front undone. When queried, the council said "you own that, you sort it". Then the shitehousing began. The pub threw everyone out the back (garages were using it to park cars) and caused all manner of traffic/parking issues and then took up about 90% of the pavement out front with tables and chairs. Council turned up "you can't do that, it's a public footpath".. "I think you'll find, as per our conversation in March, we own it. We can do what we want." Think the council are coming to do their pavement in a month or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavements blocked by queues for shows, arseholes with flyers, Italian language students etc. At the top of Chambers Street they even put up an awning for queues into a venue and I don't ever recall seeing a council permission notice on display for it. Fortunately Covid has f*cked the Festival this year. GIRU them all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used to be when they ran all the chippies and ice cream shops. The eateries have gone a bit downhill since their kids went on to better things though. Bit like when the Romans left.

I couldn't be arsed as C Venue would just put in a retrospective application which would likely be granted I've actually had second thoughts about the awning on the grounds that it would stop the Deliveroo p***k that likes to belt Pell mell along Chambers Street on the pavement with impunity.

Judging by the amount of complaining you do on here* the current state can't be healthy for you.*I understand that this is the PTTGOYN thread but you raise these topics at every opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Here's a petty thing that has slightly got on my nerves: I had a spare pot of paint that has a white top on it so I thought "white paint? That'll do for the door frame". I opened it and it turns out to be dark blue. I should have looked at the label but who puts a white top on a tin that doesn't contain white paint. Fortunately the back door needs painting so it will now be dark blue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
