What's wrong with the traditional method involving a few gallons of petrol and a match?<BR/><BR/>Now I know some of the more cash-strapped developers have got bored with this approach, but it's attracting new devotees in the form of those ASBO sprogs exiled down here by the London boroughs. <BR/><BR/>Might be dreadfully old fashioned but at least it keeps them off the streets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-20667967954634769472008-01-29T17:36:00.000+00:002008-01-29T17:36:00.000+00:00That's good to hear Michael.That's good to hear Michael.Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-29401490482468190272008-01-29T17:18:00.000+00:002008-01-29T17:18:00.000+00:00I have just received assurances from the civil eng...I have just received assurances from the civil engineers supervising the cliff repairs that the foundations are sound, from what I understand this is based on the fact that although the concrete façade is in bad condition the is no sign that it is subsiding. I would draw your attention to the following webpages that show the surveys of the cliff. <A HREF="http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/tdc/report.htm" REL="nofollow">link1</A> <A HREF="http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/tdc/id39.htm" REL="nofollow">link2</A> <A HREF="http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/Survey/" REL="nofollow">link3</A>Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-11833771773348479602008-01-29T15:19:00.000+00:002008-01-29T15:19:00.000+00:00Yikes!
