This....my backyard neighbor's lawn/dandelion farm...
...and this isn't bad compared to my neighbor to the South. He had the by-law officer force him to cut his front lawn, his backyard is a jungle. The rest of the neighborhood has some sort of pride

Don't mention parcels !!
Waited in as long as possible for a parcel being delivered by UPS, dispatched by the seller last Friday.
Must be the worst service in the World - their so-called 'Tracking' service gave a delivery date for yesterday, between "09.00hrs and the end of the day", whenever that is.
Having waited in all day, this was then amended, last night, for delivery today, same time schedule.
I had to go out for just half an hour at 12.30 hrs, so 'just in case', I pinned a note to my front door, asking for delivery to be made to the shop next door, and for the note to be posted through my letter box (so that I'd know they had called).
Got back home at 13.10 hrs, and saw the UPS van driving off up the road.
Found a card had been posted - no sign of my note - stating that the parcel could be collected, after 16.00 hrs today, from a news agent shop about a mile from my house, apparently a registered UPS pick-up point.
Tried to arrange re-delivery for tomorrow, via their very cumbersome web-site, but it can't be done, so I now have to go out, in the p*ss*ng rain, to collect the bl**dy parcel that I paid to have delivered !
Compare this to another delivery I had, last week, where delivery time was given to within a 30 minute time slot for the day after order was placed, with up-dates by text message and e-mail, and delivery actually taking place exactly in the advised time slot, for a much larger parcel, and at half the cost of the UPS service !

Postal strike looming.

Yep, and after reading all the bumf on the card, and on their website, stating that an official document bearing a photograph, such as a driver's licence or passport, must be produced, along with proof of address, or the parcel would not be released, I wasn't even asked to state my address when I collected the parcel, or even show the UPS card - I just gave my name, and the parcel was handed over !
So much for security and secure delivery - and the parcel was a lap top computer !!!
And what annoyed me today ?
Piggin' Humbrol so called Clear Matt varnish - dried like a light dusting of snow !

My brother sent this to me.
THIS IS WHY WE VOTED TO LEAVE THE EU
There is absolutely no excuse for British industry being decimated by the EU. We were not prepared to stand by and let them continue.
A few thoughts to ponder.
Cadbury moved factory to Poland 2011 with EU grant.
Ford Transit moved to Turkey 2013 with EU grant.
Jaguar Land Rover has recently agreed to build a new plant ...in Slovakia with EU grant, owned by Tata, the same company who have trashed our steel works and emptied the workers pension funds.
Peugeot closed its Ryton (was Rootes Group) plant and moved production to Slovakia with EU grant.
British Army's new Ajax fighting vehicles to be built in SPAIN using SWEDISH steel at the request of the EU to support jobs in Spain with EU grant, rather than Wales.
Dyson gone to Malaysia, with an EU loan.
Crown Closures, Bournemouth (Was METAL BOX), gone to Poland with EU grant, once employed 1,200.
Marks & Spencer manufacturing gone to far east with EU loan.
Hornby models gone. In fact all toys and models now gone from UK along with the patents all with with EU grants.
Gillette gone to eastern Europe with EU grant.
Texas Instruments Greenock gone to Germany with EU grant.
Indesit at Bodelwyddan Wales gone with EU grant.
Sekisui Alveo said production at its Merthyr Tydfil Industrial Park foam plant will relocate production to Roermond in the Netherlands, with EU funding.
Hoover Merthyr factory moved out of UK to Czech Republic and the Far East by Italian company Candy with EU backing.
ICI integration into Holland’s Akzo Nobel with EU bank loan and within days of the merger, several factories in the UK, were closed, eliminating 3,500 jobs
Boots sold to Italians Stefano Pessina who have based their HQ in Switzerland to avoid tax to the tune of £80 million a year, using an EU loan for the purchase.
JDS Uniphase run by two Dutch men, bought up companies in the UK with £20 million in EU 'regeneration' grants, created a pollution nightmare and just closed it all down leaving 1,200 out of work and an environmental clean-up paid for by the UK tax-payer. They also raided the pension fund and drained it dry.
UK airports are owned by a Spanish company.
Scottish Power is owned by a Spanish company.
Most London buses are run by Spanish and German companies.
The Hinkley Point C nuclear power station to be built by French company EDF, part owned by the French government, using cheap Chinese steel that has catastrophically failed in other nuclear installations. Now EDF say the costs will be double or more and it will be very late even if it does come online.
Swindon was once our producer of rail locomotives and rolling stock. Not any more, it's Bombardier in Derby and due to their losses in the aviation market, that could see the end of the British railways manufacturing altogether even though Bombardier had EU grants to keep Derby going which they diverted to
their loss-making aviation side in Canada.
39% of British invention patents have been passed to foreign companies, many of them in the EU
The Mini cars that Cameron stood in front of as an example of British engineering, are built by BMW mostly in Holland and Austria. His campaign bus was made in Germany even though we have Plaxton, Optare, Bluebird, Dennis etc., in the UK.
The bicycle for the Greens was made in the far east, not by Raleigh UK but then they are probably going to move to the Netherlands too as they have said recently.
Anyone who thinks the EU is good for British industry or any other business simply hasn't paid attention to what has been systematically asset-stripped from the UK. Name me one major technology company still running in the UK, there used to be many, then the work just dried up as they were sold off to companies from France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, etc., and now we don't even teach electronic technology for technicians any more, due to EU regulations.
I haven't detailed our non-existent fishing industry the EU paid to destroy, nor the farmers being paid NOT to produce food they could sell for more than they get paid to do nothing, don't even go there.
I haven't mentioned what it costs us to be asset-stripped like this, nor have I mentioned immigration, nor the risk to our security if control of our armed forces is passed to Brussels or Germany.
Find something that's gone the other way, I've looked and I just can't. If you think the EU is a good idea,
1 You haven't read the party manifesto of The European Peoples' Party.
2 You haven't had to deal with EU petty bureaucracy tearing your business down.
