It is tent erection time on Heys playing field:rolleyes:

Six adults, two children and two dogs have erected a big 3 roomed igloo on the football pitch.

As long as they pack up before nightfall I suppose no-one will move them,
although I am sure that it contravenes the 'rules' on that big sign the LCC put up, and which they have pitched next to.

As long as they don't start playing music, they aren't really a nuisance
...just an eyesore.

An 8ft high metal fence is due for erection when the field is 'refurbished'.
Maybe they will have to use Rhyddings Park then.

There are tent cities in USA where homeless people have gathered to live.
Heaven forbid!! that I could have one such on my doorstep:eek:

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

They are packing it up now - was obviously just a test of tent erection skills

Re: I can tell summer has come when -

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

I thought the saying was 'one swallow doesn't make a summer', and not heralded by the first erection you see.

I can tell summer has come coz all the odd bods come out. Skinny pigeon chested pasty white teenagers with their tops off (as if I want to see their pasty nipples!!!!) Ewwwww! xx

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

We were laughing at them, and saying the same thing, because there were loads strutting round Accy today.

What I want to know is why, with their hoodies off so much, does their skin stay the colour of milk that's gone off?

:rolleyes::eek::D

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

The mowing gangs appear on our Estate

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

I didn't know you had gang related trouble up there.

Are you and MargaretR bloods, being in the same 'hood?

:D

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

In the land of Manual work, a gang are a group of men (or women to be pc:rolleyes:)working together Garinda, just thought I'd point that out:D:p

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

Oh ok, how boring.

Then I won't look out for a pair of your slippers, slung over a telegraph wire, proclaiming the area as your gang's territory.

:D

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

Ossy was my gangs territory and your on it, gedoff:D

Re: I can tell summer has come when -

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

Paeonies(?) are in full bloom, roses are just opening, Lily of the Valley in bloom, lilac starting to fade and many of the bedding plants are in full flush and so far 5 species of butterflies - I know that spring is here and summer is on the way - 24 deg today, BBQ this weekend

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

I can tell there's a change in the weather when you get all that stink of burning food wafting about.
There was a time when food was cooked in the kitchen and the toilet was in the backyard.
Now the toilet is in the house, and the food is burnt outside, plus the boom boxes, and all the drunken idiots shouting to be heard over the din its making. Selfish and ignorant comes to mind.

...when there's a lot more chapel hat pegs around. ;)

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

I though Chapel hat pegs were more evident in cold weather.

Although in winter you'll be less likely to see them, because they'll be covered up with coats.

Riots.

Brits never go in for civil unrest when it's parky.

They need some warmth to make them get a bit feisty.

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

I could tell summer has come, when today walking down our street was a Bald Middle aged clown, with thick black specs, wearing a donkey type jacket which was open, showing his bare chest. i thought what a pillock.:rolleyes:

Re: I can tell summer has come when -
 

Good God.

It wasn't him was it?
