Subdeacon Joe Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 News has just been released that Edinburgh Castle has been built with no planning permission. The city cooncil building control have searched the records but can find no trace of any application, a cooncil spokesperson has said that the Castle is closed with immediate effect, a demolition order will be issued and a contract will be signed with Daltons to remove the offending structure. The man from the cooncil said "whether it is a garden hut in Pilton, a bungalow in Craigmillar or a major city centre tourist attraction, rules are rules, we cannot just allow people to build castles wherever they decide". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Shoot the entire committee or department or whatever. My wife and daughter visited Ireland many years ago and my wife caused a commotion when she tried to buy Bunratti (SP?) Castle. She was kidding but the people there have no sense of humor.

Pat Riot Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 This Edinburgh Castle? It’s in Scotland. Is this another news thing that’s actually a spoof Joe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I forgot to add…Of course there’s an English Council. They have a flippin’ council for everything there. One of the reasons I refuse to live in Pennsylvania is their affection for being very British-like in all their BS regulations and control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 A bad joke. Magnificent castle, been there, climbed the hill with cameras. The archers would have got me in the days when it was built, and I was very fit all those decades back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
