Garden Office Building? What do you recommend?

message ... snip My cousin has a two of those seagoing containers in his garden to house his collection of antique motorcycles and the workshop that goes with them. But they look awfull, unless you put a wood frame around and clad it. Which may be feasible. As has been mentioned planning permision would more than likely be required, I'd be wary though, if you stride into the planning office asking for permission to build an office in the back garden then the answer will probably be no. A garden room, studio or the like would probably be better recieved. Might depend where you live. If you were to claim that the garden office would take one car-borne commuter off the roads, as you would then be able to work at home, that would score *lots* of brownie points in some locations. -- Tim Ward - posting as an individual unless otherwise clear Brett Ward Ltd - www.brettward.co.uk Cambridge Accommodation Notice Board - www.brettward.co.uk/canb Cambridge City Councillor |

... If I were to be paid I would probably ask for payment in UKP - not a standard I invented but one, which, in the days when I worked for a living (long before the days of ISO standards), was the standard used when communicating with the USA (who were more used to USD) You might be remembering "UKL" which is what the banks used before "GBP". -- Tim Ward - posting as an individual unless otherwise clear Brett Ward Ltd - www.brettward.co.uk Cambridge Accommodation Notice Board - www.brettward.co.uk/canb Cambridge City Councillor |

You think pensioners have time to spare??????? You wait! Don't have to wait - I ama a pensioner. I have little spare time because I love to do projects for my nighbours - without fee of course! What about your own projects which have been hanging fire for years - to say nothing of the new ones you've just thought about? I'm neither sad nor thick - I wouldn't have dreamed of suggesting that! in the days when computers had green screens.... I remember them well. We still have one in fact ... Mary |

So, despite the existence of "GBP" which has unambiguous meaning worldwide on any documents written in any language, someone goes and invents "UKP", which on the day they invented it meant nothing to anybody other than themselves. Why?? Because they can. Because they want to. I have done it. So what ? Not everyone is au-fait or cares about ISO codes anyhow, including some of the banks judging by the state of their FX software.

The message
from "Tim Ward" contains these words: But someone must have invented it for some reason. UKP and USD have been around for donkeys years in usenet and email. I thought the reason was A) to distinguish UKP from USD, for systems which cobble up £ and $ signs, B) for readers who don't notice the difference between £ and $ C) to distinguish UK pounds and US dollars from pund and dollar currencies elsewhere.

"Stephen Kellett" wrote in message ... Good grief Tim, you are over-analysing way too much. I've seen UKP used before, it hasn't been invented to make a political stand. But someone must have invented it for some reason. It makes no sense to go round inventing currency codes when there are already perfectly good standard ones - write an invented private one of your own on a bank document, for example, and it won't work. I guess people do rather less of this in everyday life now that cash cards have replaced Eurocheques, so not everybody carries the leaflet with the codes in their wallet any more, but the things are still in common enough usage that one can be expected to know the code for one's own currency! So, despite the existence of "GBP" which has unambiguous meaning worldwide on any documents written in any language, someone goes and invents "UKP", which on the day they invented it meant nothing to anybody other than themselves. Why?? Because its the first thing someone thought of when they wrote it. Doesnt matter to me if its GBP, UKP, LSD or £. No, not that LSD. Regards, NT |

Because the ISO are looking to charge for use of such codes, and it's not worth the risking the licensing costs? Yeah. Right. Buy better drugs. Bizarre though it sounds, the relevant sub-vomittee (a typo, but too appropriate to correct) of ISO *has* made an ill-judged and (hopefully) ill-phrased pronouncement about collecting "database publishing charges" on the *use* of (maybe only complete and up-to-date collections of?) two-letter country codes. Yes, like in geographical top-level domains. Yes, like in MIME tags for languages on web pages. Clue-by-fours are being vigorously administered by the W3C, ICANN, and other bodies representing (some aspects of) the interests of Net users. There's probably a suitably incredulous article by John Leyden at theregister.co.uk by now... Just remember - in international standardisation bodies as in party politics, just because an idea is patently loony on its face doesn't mean it won't get proposed in all apparent seriousness...

"Mary Fisher" wrote in message t... What about your own projects which have been hanging fire for years - to say nothing of the new ones you've just thought about? I've just finished digging 900ft of ditch, laying drainage pipes, an alkathene water pipe with five stand points, and installing an armoured garden ring-main with IP65 sockets. I am currently building a 20ft by 20ft fruit cage, containing raised beds for three varieties of strawberry, blackcurrent, redcurrents, a single tayberry and three rows of raspberries. When it rains I am building a computer for my prospective son-in-law and editing 28 hours of digital video taken when my wife and I spent three weeks living with hill-tribe villagers in Thailand. I don't watch much telly - and I sleep extremely soundly! |

"Old Codger" wrote in message news I don't believe planning permission is required for a garden shed or a summer house. It is surprising the uses there are for a good summer house. Unless you live in a conservation area planning permission is not necessary for "utility" buildings which are not habitable. They must be separate from the house, built entirely within your own ground and meet maximum height limits. (Hence the recent fury over a man who built a games room and gymnasium that was larger than his house. Planning officials could do nothing.) |
