Speaker 6: some of the locals decided to use the hard rubbish
Speaker 6: to set up a house on the main roundabout in
Speaker 6: the middle of our town. So this was just a
Speaker 6: It had a bedroom, a bathroom, there was a dining
Speaker 6: areas with a doll in it. The clothesline even had
Speaker 6: clothes on it. It was really really good, It was
Speaker 6: really funny. It was in the newspaper, was all over
Speaker 6: the local Facebook groups until it was unfortunately packed up
Speaker 6: the next day.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that is a reason to go
Speaker 2: and check it out. I mean I'd go on a
Speaker 2: detour to see that, going to road.
Speaker 6: Trip being a local and seeing everyone sort of like
Speaker 6: come from all over to see it. But unfortunately the
Speaker 6: local police thought it was a bit of a roadside distraction,
Speaker 6: so they made the local county.
Speaker 2: We need to try and recreate.
Speaker 5: Let's build it again.
Speaker 2: Let's build a new house with new BIS. This is
