Re: Crooked House
That's hilarious!
Though in all seriousness, how would you go about planning and building a wonky pub?! If you follow building regs I bet you wouldn't be allowed to!?

Re: Crooked House
The enforcement notice will definitely be appealed - I look forward to reading the appeal documents because they will inevitably contain a lot of juicy background.

Some evidence of how it came to set on fire then be knocked down possibly.
