Whatever you do, Curval, do NOT post on this BBS that you've fix up your garage so the kids can use it as a recreation room. You've been warned.
This just in to our newsroom....
Bermuda Announces Moratorium On House ModificationsBERMUDA - The Ministry of Housing announced today that it was suspending the issuance of building permits for garage improvements, alarming several local homeowners.
When queried about the announcement, a spokesman for the Ministry explained, "we think things are fine just the way they are. We don't need to de-value what little bit of land we have with some tacky multi-functional clap-trap. People need to realize that there is a place for tradition in today's society, and tradition starts at home."
Some citizens weren't quite so appreciative of the situation.
"I don't understand why the Ministry would do such a thing," a dapper young man dressed in a blue blazer and pink shorts exclaimed, "it just doesn't make any sense. I just bought this house and had plans to modify the garage into a motorcycle stable and romper room. Now what am I going to do with all four of my bikes? Hide them in a bush outdoors?"
In other news, trading in the local market climbed sharply upward, driven by the tripling of prices of cement lawn jockeys.
