The Congresscritters are still out on vacation, I believe.

Give them a little more time and they'll give us something to go apeshiat over on Fark.

Ahh, the bi-annual "abandoned village" thread. Woot.
 
2012-01-02 05:01:11 AM
oh waaaah one village. what a huge tragedy.

the population of belorus would like a word with all y'all hanky clenching about one village.

do a search for Khatyn Memorial, have a look!
 
2012-01-02 05:18:19 AM
I was hoping for abandoned due to a high concentration of unexploded German bombs. Not someplace people constantly visit, similar to Centralia.

That's farking ridiculous. Given the amount of homeless, jobless people in the UK who could really use an abandoned village. Give it back. Build your farking training shiat in the Nevada desert and not somewhere land is sparse and costly. What a farking joke. Anyone wanna marry me so I can move out of this stupid stupid country? That's 'country' with a silent o.

This happend over 60 years ago so take a chill pill, the "village" doesn't exist any more and the buildings are just concrete block shells that are not worth the effort to turn into livable housing. The same thing happend to the people of Buckenham Tofts, Langford, Stanford, Sturston, Tottington and West Tofts when STANTA was created in Norfolk. These places are about as close to sparcly populated as you will find in England unless you want to build on moorland.

C'mon now! Somebody is taking care of the village.
So I don't give it the truly "abandoned" rating.
 
2012-01-02 06:22:53 AM
Exactly. Over 60 years ago. About time to put it to decent use. A concrete shell is better than no roof at all. Fitting these out would probably be cheaper than building new.

It's going to be an angry year.

Actually it would probably cost more. It's far easier to lay water, sewerage, gas and electricity services when you are building the foundations than to go to an existing building and try to work underneath them. Ditto for fitting electrical wiring throughout the house. Ditto for plumbing and heating. Ditto for damp proofing.

Plus, being miles from anywhere how are any people housed there going to be able to find work?

The government has just announced they are going to take action against people on high incomes living in subsidised housing and people who profit from subletting. That will make a huge difference, far more than a couple of dozen houses in the middle of nowhere.

Did you read the article? It stated that there is unexploded ordnance lying around. Why would you want poor people to live in a mine field? What's wrong with you?

My only complaint about this is I didn't see any mention of the towsfolk ever being compensated for giving up their homes.

Or am I just thinking like an American and in the UK its fine for the govt to walk in and seize your land?

To prepare for taking back the USA of course. Forward base for the invasion.

Of course - surround a 700 year old church with a bunch of "ooh danger" signs when it's obvious they're just trying to keep us away from the truth contained in the stained glass windows.

I mean, do you REALLY think it's a coincidence that a church that was created when the Templars were being triscadected is now off limits to anyone but the illuminati?

Well, the kindly caretaker is also dressing up as a ghost to chase people away while he looks for the treasure in the village.

Some chaps in a caravan with a dag should be along shortly to put a stop to this.
