Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Oh My Gawd !
ReplyDeleteThey are not next to that beautiful home ?
I thought they were to be buried ! How ugly,
Burn them. Stupid mayor.
cheers, parsnip and badger
No they're not next to the lovely old house, but in the top picture you can just see the owner's own lovely ancient home. The more I see of this project; the more I despair.
DeleteIf there is a God they will be in his back yard.
DeleteIs that it - open for business?
ReplyDeleteStill a bit more to do yet, but for a really rustic holiday they could bring their own sleeping-bags, and doss down.
DeleteIt's hard to believe this is being allowed. A nightmare.
ReplyDeleteOur mayor quits this year; this is his legacy.
DeleteCover them in ivy and wisteria..........?
ReplyDeleteThey should eventually be covered in grass. I can't wait!
DeleteHow far are they from your house?
ReplyDeleteAbout 300 yards. We are probably the least affected by their presence, but eventually there will be more than 20 holiday makers staying there (if he manages to find clients).
DeleteNot a nice sight. Hopefully they at least landscape it so it's not so damn intrusive
ReplyDeleteI still can't imagine who'd want to stay in them. They look to us like a row of 'festival portaloos'.
DeleteI wonder when he will start burying them. I hope he hasn't run out of money and they remain as they are now.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he'll come to his senses, and move!
DeleteCould they bury them maybe 10 feel under???? Just sayin'.
DeleteThey're supposed to be half buried, but at the most they'll end up half covered.
DeleteThat is what my comment was about Silly Girl. They are supposed to be buried underground but as yet have not been so. Hence my comment about maybe he has run out of money.
DeleteI would want the TOP of them ten feet under!
DeleteTen foot hole would bury a container completely.
DeleteAre you sure that this isn't an elaborate practical joke at your expense?
ReplyDeleteI suppose we'll have to wait until April 1st 2019.
DeleteWho in their right mind would stay in one of those? While visiting France? Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
That's what everyone says; other than the planning dep't.
DeleteWhy would Jesus want to do this?
DeleteWhy shipping containers??? Why bury them? Who seeks out that kind of holiday? If I traveled to France for a holiday, I'd be wanting to stay in that beautiful old home, not a hot metal box. It makes me think of paranoid sects armed to the teeth living out in the desert waiting for Armageddon! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteWe wondering if he doesn't have a secret contract with the government to take in illegal immigrants (refugees).
DeleteThey look like a hotel for zombies.
ReplyDeleteBy the time he's installed the floors, walls, and ceilings, they'll be hotels for midgets.
DeleteThis man is doomed, enjoy the fiery trail of his bankruptcy. John Lewis is on the skids, I used to be their biggest fan but shoddy service finished me off. The two are related as John Lewis is being ruined by people who think they know better than the public, this man is suffering from the same disease. This will turn into an organic pig farm with a few years.
ReplyDeleteCan we change Pig Farm for storage units? Too close for Pigs. You may be right, he's doing all the work single handed, and there's an awful lot of it. He may not live long enough.
DeleteModern planning rules gone insane.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, TOTALLY.
DeleteDon't those sea cans only have a lifespan of ten years?
ReplyDeleteYes, they won't last. False economy. I don't know if anyone's told him!
Delete'Bonkers' is being kind.
ReplyDeleteWho in the hell would stay in those? And who in the HELL allowed them??? Outrageous....
ReplyDeleteHipsters will stay in them. I have seen some of my families pictures of where they stayed on holiday in the summer and they were over joyed they stayed in a Pod. Which is a glorified shed. No loo. Just some kind of bench that you sleep on. they thought it was marvelous. Something like this http://greenecoliving.co.uk/camping-pods.html and they paid a small fortune to stay there
