I saw another local Facebook post of a bloke thanking the man who helped rescue his trapped wife from under another tree while all the cars behind her were busy trying to turn round and find another route rather than help the arseholes. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Borr 5,938 Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 Neighbour over road lost her fence but council will put it right I presume, so far I've been lucky with my dodgy panels, taken kids to play football twice today bloody car was rocking about they loved it. Gonna be a lot of trees down seen three or four roads are blocked on FB local. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,635 Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 Loads of panels and posts snapped in my garden . Never ending replacing and changing these . If it was my house and my choice I would have used the concrete posts and gravel boards and put panels in . Changing panels isn't the end of the world but breaking outbthe old concrete around the posts to redo them all the time is a pain in the arse 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
