Still no sign of any more work on that roof but in complete contrast I see another bunch of chaps are hard at work re-doing a driveway only 50 yards away from the roofing job.

Rain or no rain, the driveway has been dug up ready for whatever's going down in its place. The blokes laughed when I said the roofing lot are traditional builders who do a bit and leave a lot.

I've just thought, I wonder if those roofers are that well-known firm called Bodgit & Scarper?
