Architect's wicked wit cuts through red tape
Quite old, and apparently it was sent around quite abit last year, but I hadn't seen it.
I'm sure anyone who has had to deal with local councils will appreciate this.

Ha, ha, ha!
I wonder if it actually got through planning.

Yeah, me too!
Perhaps we could read the article and see if it did or not?
.... Nah, lets not.

I deal with Planning/B. Regs, and Local Councils every day
I applaud this man's wit, he's nailed it right on the head. :)
Design and Access statements serve no useful purpose other than explaining the bleeding obvious to the general public so they have something to witter on about in their objections. By getting the arch./designer to put all the info. in the document, the council then don't have to explain themselves when the public ask about the proposals, they can simply refer them to the D&A statement.
it's a great link, thanks for that :)

I eventually found them in the cellar, in a disused lavatory
with a sign on the door saying 'beware of the tiger'

Yes, they were
"on display" in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet which was in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying, "Beware of the Leopard."

Doesn't everyone fill in forms like this?
Don't tell me you're supposed to take forms seriously?
I put "somewhere in flat, haven't seen it for ages" in the "Where did you last have your passport?" section of the form when I reported my lost passport.
Reading this back to myself, I'm not sure whether it makes me a wag or a twat...
