colincooke Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Have just arrived back from Swindon where i took the liberty of half inching a digger & some materials from the building site across the road. The purpose for this is allow us to build a few shelters for those in the queue @ Brandon, just to be on the safe side Rugby Borough Councillors have all been kidnapped so we don't have to apply for planning permission.

Nevs Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Fret not, Exeter are well used to recycling Morrison shelters-all 6000 of them-hell we used them to build a speedway fence after the war-and now thats gone maybe a few panels could head your way to build a few shelters for the madding hordes. What to do with air raid shelters-Oh I know-build a speedway fence then build shelters again-ultimate recycling A fascinating piece on the link above courtesy of Exeter memories website complete with photos. http://www.exetermemories.co.uk/EM/index.html Edited March 23, 2008 by Nevs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Anyone got a good hiding place for a digger & the gear. We're in a bit of a quandary about a ransom demand, should we split it 4 ways Send an SOS to Rolf Harris and get him to paint a giant canvas of trees and bushes then hide the digger behind it. With the queues in front forming another line of defence the digger should be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colincooke Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 That's gone right over my head CC, can you explain it for me please Hi Bird, too many people are getting panicky early doors up here, & too many others are feeding off it like leeches. When things pick up, which they will, those such as SS etc will be made to look daft(no change there ).It's just a plea for folk to calm down.
