the water board who the client paid £350 for a build over agreement has just informed us they want the drains moved outside the footprint
this "drain adoption" has turned into a poison chalice

Don't let anyone in Leigh hear you saying it's anywhere near Wiggin! No more certain way to get a bowl of lobby smashed in your face than to mention the proximity of the Pie Eyters.

Leigh Infirmary - I spend almost as much time there as I did in school between the ages of 11 and 15. If there had been such a thing as loyalty cards in the 70s, they would probably have given me one. Bikes and teenage boys - not the safest of combinations!
