174
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 6: So I live in man every Southeast And when we

175
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 6: had our hard rubbish collection about a couple of months ago,

176
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 6: some of the locals decided to use the hard rubbish

177
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 6: to set up a house on the main roundabout in

178
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 6: the middle of our town. So this was just a

179
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 6: It had a bedroom, a bathroom, there was a dining

180
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 6: areas with a doll in it. The clothesline even had

181
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 6: clothes on it. It was really really good, It was

182
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 6: really funny. It was in the newspaper, was all over

183
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 6: the local Facebook groups until it was unfortunately packed up

184
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 6: the next day.

185
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that is a reason to go

186
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: and check it out. I mean I'd go on a

187
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: detour to see that, going to road.

188
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 6: Trip being a local and seeing everyone sort of like

189
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 6: come from all over to see it. But unfortunately the

190
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 6: local police thought it was a bit of a roadside distraction,

191
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 6: so they made the local county.

192
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: We need to try and recreate.

193
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 5: Let's build it again.

194
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: Let's build a new house with new BIS. This is

195
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: a great idea.
