Yeah! Big Brother is to be Axed!
At last the £108M spent by Channel 4 (UK) which is part owned by the BBC, can be used for some quality TV, instead of expensive non-TV!
Funny reality TV was supposed to be economy TV but has turned out to be very expensive rubbish.

We should all love thy neighbour?
Dispute Between Neighbors’ - this is a true story... A town councilor in Wales , Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the mountains, until a new neighbour purchased the land below his house and built a new home. The new home was 18 inches higher than the planning dept had approved, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the local authority to make sure they enforced the roof line height.
The new neighbour had to drop the roof height, at great expense. Recently, Mark Easton called the planning dept, and informed them that his new neighbour had installed some vents on the side of his new property. Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the planning dept to investigate. When they went to Mark's home to see what the vents looked like, this is what they found...
The Local Authority said the vents can stay since there is no planning law referring to shutter design.

Been on Holiday Recently? Lost your luggage?
Well it might be here! Yes lost luggage is auctioned off to the highest bidder, it is a bit of a lucky dip bid as you do not know what is in the luggage.
Here is a seriously strange site where a person buys luggage photographs it and tries to get it back to its owner.
Enjoy! http://www.isthisyourluggage.com/Site/Luggage_home.html

Just got my energy bills for Gas and Electric
5 bed detached house for summer quarter
Electric £150 (must be the LED bulbs & Sonic Alarm that goes off when we use more than 2kw’s power; you cannot turn it off, easier to turn tumble dryer off than listen to alarm!)
Bit disappointed with Electric bill as was £80 last quarter, must be the dryer, right no washing of kids clothes for next quarter!
Gas bill £10 for summer quarter (spent £3K on wood boiler and burning scrap wood, only cook with Gas now, annual Gas bill was £1970 last year, so payback should be 2 -3 years)
Thanks to Paul Exley of Gas Tech Scarborough our plumber who fitted these energy saving items; he is fitting solar panels today!
Chalk guy is back! with more images of street art!

A week after a Holiday, how long to catch up with work?
Funny it has taken me 3 days to clear backlog of work from a week away (yes I did emails while I was away) and just starting to get back to being only a week behind on my jobs. Not bad going, I think.
