Can you name the most unwanted Christmas present that you've been given from previous Christmas'?

Why you didn't want it?

And what you did with it?


Edit: 2017 unwanted presents, why not do a swap with someone else on EDF.





Administrator: I hope you allow this post, it's just a brain storm of mine.

I had one of the most ugly but surely one of the most useful: I had a UK made Brick with 2018 written on it!


Person that gave it to me says apparently they are in big demand these days so.. easy to give to someone else in case.

She also added everybody has an irish relative, a scottish friend or european family. Perhaps American friends or mexican friends maybe?...In the middle east also in big demand and all over the world really. Cataluna wants to separate, and surely some North Italians will be happy to "draw a line" above Rome!


I must say it is an ugly present, possibly most ugly ever, but surely one of the most useful in this world..

From my side i would have welcomed better some chocolate box and wine to share!!

Perhaps Pato, you could exchange your 2018 ugly brick for some choco and Wine, as you don't drink, though, non Alco stuff.

You see?! It s a great christmas/gift idea! I ll put mine in a safe place. Might end up selling it to Trump or T May for big dollars. Not sure they have enough bricks for what they want to do..


One question: who the f....is Joy Villa??

      Buying land from council?

      By vladi · Posted

      I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.

      Buying land from council?

      By Ais · Posted

      Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.

      I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
