Would You Buy This?

[tiggerblue10]

Looks lovely but there's a slight catch...

Way over priced.

[Ken4155]

Wouldn't buy it with stolen money.

[gness]

I suppose I could yarn bomb it....but would I buy it....probably not!

[barry1010]

No, I would hear it humming and it would drive me insane.

[barry1010]

If it didn't hum it wouldn't bother me too much

[rowanwitch]

The humming would put me off too, shame you can't grow stuff up it a mile a minute and a rambling rector or kiftsgate rose would do a pretty good camouflage job

[gness]

That'd work, Rowan....or some sheeting to make a marquee for parties...x

[rowanwitch]

Imagine it smothered in flowers.... With seating underneath as a giant pergola

[pastafreak]

I wouldn't want it without the pylon...never mind with!

[jno]

plant some leylandii round it and you'll never notice it.

[barry1010]

I wonder how much money they get from the electricity company

[Prudie]

No and apart from being unsightly there is a group with an argument that still stands that rays/waves from pylons cause birth deformities, cancer etc. Probably nut cases but you never know.

[anneasquith]

What came first, 1) the house? 2) the pylon ?

[ToraToraTora]

the pylon itself wouldn't bother me as long as there was no hum, I'd want it dirt cheap though, that's about 100k too much.

[DTCwordfan]

how much rent do they receive for the pylon...a mate of mine makes £1500 a year for two telephone poles on his land and not as 'invasive' as this 'little' structure.

[barry1010]

I asked that already, DTC

[Mamyalynne]

You could run some good Christmas lights from that.

[DTCwordfan]

yeah but not the specifics of how much!!!

[DTCwordfan]

For the whole of Sussex I would have thought as it looks like one of those bungalows near Dungeness.....

[Mamyalynne]

It isn't though.
