    In The Street where i live they have Demolished a old Victorian Factory
    and left thousands of bricks on site
    the site has remaind empty for the past 3/4 months

    Houses are being built on the site its all fenced off with security fenceing

    There is a Number on the Fence so thaught id give them a call to ask for some bricks

    Ive Got 450 left over From Building my Folly & need 300/350 to enable me to have a go @ Building a Arbour with a Diffrance!!!

    The Guy who Anserd the phone was a lovely old school Blackcountry Mon :WINK1:

    He asked me wot i wanted the bricks for i told him Ive took up Gardening and want to have a go @ a Project of a Arbour as Iv Built a Folly

    He said Listen Our Mon I Carnt Aurthise you to go on the site because of insurance purpuses

    But in the next 2 weeks a gang of blokes will turn up on site to crush all the bricks for Hard core :yikes: CRIMENAL IN MY BOOK!!!!!

    IF You Give them my Name His Name that is tell them Ive said its ok and also tell them to load the bricks on to your motor

    Because of Helth n Safty

    Any Probs Ring Me Again Whilst on site & i Garntee you Young Man

    Young Man Doa Ya Just Love it :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

    I Garntee You They Will Load the Bricks while you am on the phone to Me!!!

    BUT I WANT SOMTHING FROM YOU!!!

    Wots that Our Mon??

    It Sounds Lovley Wot you have Done & wot you are going to do

    When you Have Built This Arbour My Gang of Blokes will be on this site for aprox 2 years & wonce a fortnight i will be dropping in to cheq there progress I Dont Come weekley Any More As Im 78 and got a house in the south of france and 1 here in the Blackcountry

    All i Ask is you Promiss me a Cup Of Tea in the Aroubor When its Built & Would love to see this here Folly

    I Belive That Deserves The Chockky Bicckys n a Home Made Fruit Cake :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

    God Bless His Soul hes just saved me a Fortune :dbgrtmb:

        Well done Folly Mon:cool:....it's criminal what stuff gets trashed on the building...I managed to 'liberate' an old foot scrape that has a glazed brick built in it last week, from the house that I posted when it was demolished.

            Folly mon,
            what is even more precious than bricks is the warm "feel good" factor you have planted in his soul and he yours too. Its little windows like these that restore one's faith in humanity. I do hope so much that he gets to enjoy the cha and biccies with you in due curse.
            There, you made me feel all warm too Folly mon,

                Fantastic one Nick:dbgrtmb: Just wear a hi viz jacket & a hard hat, you can get away with anything then. My old site manager walked halfway to Wales on the new Severn Bridge while they were building it, no one stopped him.

                    Those bricks are fetching nearly £1.50 each down here. I can't believe that they are going to crush them. Once they are gone that is it, lost history.:frown:
