Remember, people, we pay for the roads, so you can grit them.
Imagine our surprise, therefore, when we found an Igloo, no moving cars, and a place full of community spirit. There were snowmen, of course, but the Igloo caught our attention, as it doesn't have planning permission.
Seasoned readers of this blog will appreciate that we can't stand law-breakers, although we're sure the police will be onto them as a crew from HTV West are reported to have turned up to film the miscreants that created the object.
A group of students (unwashed, probably) built it, and one apparently had the audacity to actually sleep in the Igloo last night to promote the plight of the homeless young in Bristol.
Worse still, they've set up a website where you can actually give money to a charity to support the homeless. Here: http://www.justgiving.com/redlandigloo. Here's the proof:
Quite why people should get involved with this sort of thing is beyond us. Surely their time would have been better spent gritting our roads?
The upstanding residents of Woodland Road, next to the Igloo, have their priorities much more clearly focused, using the local grit bin to proper effect, ensuring they have direct access to Bristol's road network no matter what the weather.
As a parent of one of the unwashed students involved, I am appalled that they are wasting time on this futile project. They should be at their studies. How on earth do they expect to get the sort of careers required to fund the large 4x4 that my future grand children deserve to be cosseted in, if they don't concentrate on their studies in order to get the best possible grades?
ReplyDeleteIf the homeless want to live in igloos, then they should build their own.
