First a cycle store next they'll be asking about a bonnet for their car.

Have to wonder about the Brits. Why don't they speak proper Engish. The engine of the car is under a bonnet-a hat. If, you ever owned a British car. I makes total sense. You constantly need to take the hat off to try to keep it running. Oh and mine needed three sets of tools SAE Standard-American. Metric and Whtiworth old British.

British cars have always been like jigsaw puzzles. I remember the wide gaps between body panels on my friend's 80's Jaguars. Not very tight tolerances all around.

Sorry-can't help it.
Big brother now knows where to look.

I guess the law breakers would like the number of the roofing guys who put their roof on for free while the rest of us pay. Nothing like a good cheater.

This is a very confusing thread. Does a British person really say that they want to "place a small cycle store in our back yard" when they just want to store a bicycle? Also, I still don't know if the OP is referring to a bicycle or a motorcycle. Which is it?

Oh now, you got me to read it again. He is suggesting a cycle store, which will never be approved for obvious reasons.
If he tries to sneak, it will be reported as illegally operating a business in a villages home.

Thank you.

I would think this person would want to assimilate into our society too.
Otherwise, there will be more than a few breakdowns of communication.

Pedantics are alive and well on TOTV.
