I took these photos of a driveway on the same street where I was working - NO ITS NOT ONE OF MY DRIVEWAYS

I have never seen work as rough as this before, the concrete at the side of the house is also brand new too - look at the puddles :D

What town/area is that abortion in Mick? I’ve seen a few jobs of the same quality here in Leigh since the pikeys set up camp on the local football pitch a month ago.

I just can't understand people in this day and age seeing as its all over the news and there are programs all about cowboys and don't buy from anyone knocking on the door etc etc and this couple ended up with a driveway like this one which actually looks worse than what was down in the first place
