The petulant super-rich

The idea is amusing. And it is amusing looking at the situation from a distance.
But it does hurt people in a minor way daily, those who live nearby.

There is something appealing in the daring to cock a snook at the neighbours/planning committee/whatever. Is nobody else amused?

She has painted her house in our football team colours

I have not been there, perhaps we should make the effort.

It is in a conservation area so I presume she will have to re-paint it, or the council will do it for her and present her with the bill.

Do you like it?

Is it as unique as it appears in photos?

It's about 30 miles away.

Do you live far from the Greyson Perry house in Essex?

Pompa we used to live in Latchingdon, not a million miles from your neck of the woods!

Petra, this house is just along the lane by the Ship pub. Not a sight for drunken eyes !

In Chelsea it should have been blue and white stripes!

On that topic Willie Russel wrote a play ' Terraces' about football supporters painting houses. It was on TV years ago, I think it's on U tube. x

Good Grief Definitely headache material. How do they get away with it. The London stripes are nothing by comparison....

What if the neighbours all got together and painted their houses in conflicting patterns - wiggly lines, crossword puzzle grids, noughts and crosses... Now that really would be something. If you can't beat 'em join'em.

So your a Tiptree boy are you, pompa. I lived in Tollesbury for many years.

She is lucky she doesn't live in a National Park , heavy penalties and clean it up would be here lot

grr

I love that Oxford shark house. It's a landmark. I rather like the red and white stripes too, mainly because of amusement at people's snootiness about Kensington and Chelsea that it seems to have provoked. Bit like outting a bit of Blackpool prom in Brighton.

There is a house in Headington, Oxford, that has a huge shark(not real of course!) crash landing from space through the roof.This is in a terraced house in a built up area.it's been there for years, and the house owner is a presenter on Radio Oxford.

Extraordinary!

If they had really wanted to do a wind-up, they would have made the stripes somewhat uneven!

I agree, Mishap. It could have been far worse!

That reminds me , not visually, of Greyson Perry and his house in Essex. I can't do links but I am sure most GN's know the building I mean.

Mind you I actually like Greysons designdesign very much and I would have no objection at looking at it all day long , I am obviously a woman of taste .

I rather like the stripes!

I dont think that it would do much for my migraines!

The Green Parlour room your house calls it.
