Earthly   10 #1 Posted July 4, 2013 My mum lives in a council property and she says she needs a new ariel and has been pricing them up. I'm surprised they're not a standard feature on council properties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Earthly   10 #3 Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Does she expect a free washing machine, cooker and fridge too?  I knew some <removed> was going to respond with something like that.  First of all Its not her that is wondering about this, its me, and secondly no I don't think that washing machines and cookers etc should be as standard, but given that council properties are fitted with the required plumbing and gas pipes ready for washers and cookers etc, why not an ariel ready for a TV?

Bypassblade   10 #10 Posted July 4, 2013 My mum lives in a council property and she says she needs a new ariel and has been pricing them up. I'm surprised they're not a standard feature on council properties.  TBH I think most council houses that people move into do have an aerial, but if it ever needs replacing the onus is on them to pay for it.
