Housing Development Mugs

'I remember when all this was fields.'

"I've found a filing cabinet here...a prime development opportunity! I reckon you could get three studio flats out of it!"

(Used to be) END.

'Well that's buggered up the village green application'

"They want to put up a new cell tower in our neighbourhood?! We don't need more of those radio emission eyesores here! I'm gonna complain... ...as soon as I have better signal strength."
