Sod Hopton residents, what about us poor buggers right by it?

You have my sympathies. Just wait until they decide our piles have disappeared into the Doxey depths and need to be extra long.

Years ago during the building of the Riverside Sports Centre a friend worked on the Piling crew.
He commented on how many piles were lost into the ground. Even the Queensway was built across a swamp.

Same happened with the Generators Office Block - piles were knocked in by shoving other piles down on top of them.

I seem to remember much talk about disappearing piles for the M6 Creswell Viaduct back in the early 60's. Perhaps the downside of the town being in a bowl … :roll:

Floating piles, I believe. Is there a doctor in the house?

Now we know what really happened to the new Morrisons.

Yes we were one of the pedestrians queuing. It was a recyclable cup with a voucher, chocolate gold coin and a via sachet....

Only another 6 months of it (pile driving) as far as I am aware.

I can hear it up on far end of Wildwood this morning.

Not sure, but someone's piles ....... stopped hearing it soon after so wind must have changed direction.

Piles and wind.

Double whammy.

How did you know I have both?

I was trying to think up a joke to combine the two but I'm really glad someone beat me to it. (Discretion, valour … and all that stuff.) :hmm:
