I think they're often joined together - certainly the ones on our road (and the road behind) are joined. Well, at least they appear to be joined... whether the builders actually bolted them together, or just butted them up to each other, I couldn't say for sure!


As for building one out of metal and glass... sounds interesting, but presumably you'll need full planning permission for this (permitted development only applies if using materials aesthetically similar to the existing construction). And it might get very hot in the summer, you'd probably need air conditioning in there.

Hi, yes, we've applied for planning. It's north facing so should be fine. We are having a surveyor in to assess the pre-work condition of ours and our neighbour's but just wondered if anyone had had this done already and had knowledge of what it looks like. Will obviously speak to builder about the details as he will be one who does it.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
