Oh My Gawd !
They 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.

Susan Heather said...

Is that it - open for business?

Cro Magnon said...

Still a bit more to do yet, but for a really rustic holiday they could bring their own sleeping-bags, and doss down.

Sue said...

It's hard to believe this is being allowed. A nightmare.

Cro Magnon said...

Our mayor quits this year; this is his legacy.

Frances said...

Cover them in ivy and wisteria..........?

Cro Magnon said...

They should eventually be covered in grass. I can't wait!

Susan Heather said...

How far are they from your house?

Cro Magnon said...

About 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).

local alien said...

Not a nice sight. Hopefully they at least landscape it so it's not so damn intrusive

New World said...

I wonder when he will start burying them. I hope he hasn't run out of money and they remain as they are now.

Cro Magnon said...

I still can't imagine who'd want to stay in them. They look to us like a row of 'festival portaloos'.

Cro Magnon said...

Maybe he'll come to his senses, and move!

Tom Stephenson said...

Are you sure that this isn't an elaborate practical joke at your expense?

Jennifer said...

Who in their right mind would stay in one of those? While visiting France? Jesus.

I'm so sorry.

coffeeontheporchwithme said...

Why 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

Cro Magnon said...

I suppose we'll have to wait until April 1st 2019.

Cro Magnon said...

That's what everyone says; other than the planning dep't.

Cro Magnon said...

We wondering if he doesn't have a secret contract with the government to take in illegal immigrants (refugees).

sillygirl said...

Could they bury them maybe 10 feel under???? Just sayin'.

Cro Magnon said...

They're supposed to be half buried, but at the most they'll end up half covered.

Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe said...

They look like a hotel for zombies.

New World said...

That 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.

New World said...

Why would Jesus want to do this?

Cro Magnon said...

By the time he's installed the floors, walls, and ceilings, they'll be hotels for midgets.

Charles said...

This 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.

The Weaver of Grass said...

Modern planning rules gone insane.

50 and counting said...

Don't those sea cans only have a lifespan of ten years?

angryparsnip said...

If there is a God they will be in his back yard.

Cro Magnon said...

Can 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.

Cro Magnon said...

In this case, TOTALLY.

Cro Magnon said...

Yes, they won't last. False economy. I don't know if anyone's told him!

Graham Edwards said...

'Bonkers' is being kind.

lynda said...

Who in the hell would stay in those? And who in the HELL allowed them??? Outrageous....

sillygirl said...

I would want the TOP of them ten feet under!

New World said...

Ten foot hole would bury a container completely.

Sol said...

Hipsters 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
