Cabin fever hit our street yesterday..

The council had cut the grass, this led to a neighbour trimming the edge, and some other neighbours joining in..

5 households wee involved and the street has never looked better.

I just stayed up a ladder cleaning UPVc window fames.

Social distancing was observed by all, banter had and a feeling of cummunity pride ensued.

A certain part of Bradford is well knonw for a large proportion of cars having no tax/MOT/insurance, sometimes all three!

I worked with the DVLA and police several years back locating these vehicles, the DVLA driver ran out of 'boots' and ended up calling it a day..

..at 11:00AM!

and the owners were realy nice people too...

Still, now I'm retired that's all in the past.

Ah the good old Denver boot..

,,,we used to find DVLA ones dumped in parks.

If it wasn't taxed what made the DVLA think the drivers would pay up to have a boot removed when angle grinders are so cheap!
