Ugly, ugly, UGLY drive way! - tack
Sort of a driving thread.

Was walking to visit my good old mum the other day. On route I saw the most ugly, ugly UGLY drive way. Basically, you have a bog standard red brick 1930's end of terrace house with a frontage of no more than a Mondeo's depth. The 3 sided brick wall was constructed of yellow stock(to go with the red obviously!)it was way too high for a front brick wall, and had 6ft pillars with concrete lions atop as gateposts.

Breath taking blingery if ever I saw it. Not a single redeeming feature about it at all and completely spoilt a nice looking row of houses. Lozza Llewelyn Bowen would commit suicide if he saw it (and he has ghastly taste!)

What is the worst drive way you ever saw?

There is a road in Bristol that we pass along (en-route to somewhere else!) where several ordinary houses have sprouted big walls with pillars, ornamental railings, big gates and lions / acorns or whatever on top of the pillars. Talk about keeping up with the Joneses!

Cheers, SS

New neighbours in modest sized detached house, with normal 1 car-length driveway - had it block paved with inset blue lights (about the size of cats eyes) along each edge - like you see on runways.

Makes it look like - well, like a runway.
