    “There were some rare bats we were legally obliged to protect, but we just had to drive the tracks right through the woods. We couldn’t come up with any viable solutions except an ugly shed, then when the council complained about how ugly it was, we went over their heads to central government and lawyered them into submission. Wow that was expensive, huh.”
