Today’s Hyperbole Alert…

Mr Phillips told News Shopper he is worried the notices, erected by housing association London and Quadrant (L&Q), could devalue the house prices in the road.
 One for Mark there..!
The IT consultant and musician said: "It’s just like Nazi Germany.
 Ummm....wtf?
"They are very ugly signs and we are worried about properties being devalued.
"Someone tried to take one of the signs down in the dead of night but wasn’t able to because they couldn’t get the screws out.
It'd take a heart of stone, wouldn't it?
"These guys are cowboys. It's litter - just rubbish nailed to a telegraph pole. "L&Q have no resource legally and it just looks wrong."
'No recourse', I think that should have been. Amazingly enough, he's actually right about that...
An L&Q spokesman admitted the signs were not legally enforceable.
There's just so much stupid in this story, it's hard to know where to begin...

If it were like Nazi Germany, many of those concerned would have bigger things to worry about since they would be awaiting euthanasia on the grounds of being mental defectives...

Hey buckaroo, a screwdriver is more than a drink made with vodka and orange juice. Of course he'd end up in a puddle of tears when he realized there are phillips and flatheads. IT'S TOO COMPLICATED!!!!

Hmm. I'm with the Homey on this one. If Lord Snookumpops had had this done for the benefit of his estate tenants, the professionally outraged would not stop. But here it is a bunch of right ons acting, well, like little 'Itlers.

Btw, so what if they own adjoining land. It's parking on the public highway that's at issue.

P.S. Thank goodness L+Q must have permission from the phone company to attach the sign.
