Slippery developer rant!
There are some new flats nearing completion on a site that starts literally 15' from our works premises. The closest block to us is designated for part rent part buy and the show flat is being kitted out ready for the launch days. The launch days are this Sunday and the following Saturday.
Why have they chosen these dates? Well, we work mostly Monday to Friday. We start at 7am and we make a fair bit of noise with anything from van doors being slammed shut, our metal doors rattling open, general metal working and loading scaffolding. Also Millwall are playing at home this Saturday and we're just around the corner from them.
So the poor punters are being invited round when the area is like a ghost town only to move in to find us as their early morning wake up call.
We've been here over 20 years but I'll bet that won't stop the council's environmental people slapping a 'shut up' order on us!
Think I'll prepare some posters to warn unsuspecting buyers.
