Lucky Mr Blandings.

Not a bad gaff but I think I'd want something a bit bigger, with a swimming pool on the roof and servants quarters in the grounds perhaps. I have simple needs.

1. Do you think he's just staking a claim where the sign is?
   The neighbours might have something to say about that.

2. Nice the way it is, leave it alone Mr Blandings! spend your money on something useful, like drugs and loose women.

   ~ Blob

3. I would be tempted to change the sign for something rude.

4. You're putting these up yourself now. Admit it.

   ~ Red

5. Any chance you'll share your lottery win, my friend? That's the only way I'm gonna be able to find a wee but and ben as described by you :-))

   ~ postie

6. Excellent blip.

   ~ raubrey

7. This is too good.
   
   Mr. Blandings likes Bland Digs...
   
   (forgive me it is 4 am)

8. The Council are trying out a new style planning permission notice, I see. [Mr Blandings] "Please can I build a house here?" [Planning officer] "No, it's a conservation area" "But it's my Dream House" "Oh well in that case, on you go".

9. A very odd sign...

   ~ acronymphomania

10. It's getting ever harder to believe you don't manufacture these signs yourself.... great blip anyway. :-)

    ~ Annie

11. Well thank ye kindly sir, although I'm not too happy about being called elderly... ;-)

    ~ Annie

12. Well I never. It's got someone called "Beavers" in it too, so what's not to like?

    ~ Red

13. @SooB really made me laugh. I wonder if the sign will change as it inevitably takes twice as long and costs 4x the budget: "Mr Blandings is building his compromise house."

    ~ Lesley

14. not my idea of a dream house but each to their own! Hope he's happy:)

15. Woopi doo Mr Blandings...I used to draw these designs when I was a child

    ~ hebsauntyval

16. I not entirely convinced that sign is grammatically correct.

    ~ David77

17. With a wine cellar too.

    ~ brickmaker

18. So he's been dreaming of an invisible mansion then?

    ~ drcraig

19. Very odd!
    Yes same boat but a little more knackered I would say. Interesting spot, Port Seton and Cockenzie....... very blippable

    ~ LadyFindhorn

20. It's a very cute money pit.

    ~ mr_chips

21. I was just about to say it would make a good name for a book when I looked at Red's link.

    ~ Northern

22. I wouldn't mind the dreamhouse in the background, myself.....

    ~ DaveH

23. Now thats an old Movie (Cary Grant I think), probably in Black & White. Well spotted - fun.

    ~ gblrps

24. lol!

    ~ nina54

25. Ha you don't have find things eh?
    
    My archery story was true and wonder what I'd hit if I tried it again. I would love to but I can't even play it on the damm Wii!

    ~ queenie

26. 'Mr Blandings.....' is my favourite EVER film (it's even on my iPod to cheer me up on troublesome travel days)......oh to be Myrna Loy.....I can do ditzy!

    ~ meancoast

27. It is not one of Cary Grant's best movies, in fact the reviewer said; Mr Dreamings builds his bland house.
    
    I can't help feeling someone is taking the mick.
