Do bongs really?

Is this not a thing in other countries?

>>212114250 (OP)
what? why couldn't you open a window?

>>212114250 (OP)
>>212114272
I don't even recognize what's happening in the image. The window is locked? Why?

>>212114356
that window isn't allowed to be fully opened for safety reasons

>>212114356
When you rent a house in the UK, the owner of the property will sometimes place locks on the windows to prevent you from opening them too far.

>>212114272

There's no balcony, you'll be fine.

>>212114424
We have this for high rise buildings (but retarded children can just fall off the balcony instead....).

>>212114490
It decreases the cost of the insurance for the property owner if you cover the house with window locks. It means that, for example, if the tenant leaves the window open by accident, a burglar can't climb in and rob the house (note the anti-crime spikes too).

I somehow think if a criminal wants to get in, they are gonna get in.

>>212114565
why would anyone want to live in literal prisons like this

only ever seen this in a travelodge because tbf you would want to jump out

>>212114565
yea those plastic spikes will surely prevent a burglar

>>212114424
at first thought it was installed to prevent pigeons from sitting or laying eggs

>>212114651
It's not that bad. It's only really a problem in summer because our houses don't have AC, but you can work around it by leaving the front and back doors open to keep fresh air flowing through the house.

hello there

>>212114791
you need a licence for that weapon sir

>>212114424
This is why Bongs keep falling out of windows and from balconies, they don't know how to deal with a fully open window

>>212114424
At this point youre trolling us right?
RIGHT

>>212114424

>>212114755
that's what the spikes are for but obviously people are talking about the contraption that keeps the window from opening

>>212114767
>leaving the window fully open is dangerous because a burglar could get in
>leaving the front and back doors open is fine though

>>212114424
>>212114443

>>212114981
You're not supposed to leave the doors open either obviously, it's just that you'll roast alive if you don't, so people do it anyway. Our houses turn into ovens in the summer since they're designed to trap heat.

>>212114250 (OP)
>>212114424
>>212114443
This isn't real. That would be a serious safety hazard.

>>212115083
Yeah I was thinking that too. If there was a fire you'd have no way of escape, that has to be against any sane sort of regulations.

>>212115083
There are no fires in England

>>212114250 (OP)
did he pay taxes for that window?

>>212115184
holy shit how do they cook without fire no wonder their food sucks

>>212115335
they sit on their food and let their arse heat up the food that way

>>212115083
the fire department has the emergency window opening license

>>212115555
they could just leave it in the sun but as their windows don't open thats not an option

>>212115646
you have to buy a fire department licence first

MI5 is alerted and SAS rappels in through your window within the hour

Is this only in England or is it the entirety of the UK?

>>212114463
How do you not fall out?
>>212114469
It funds our window safety measures

>>212114250 (OP)
(1) learn how to circumvent the baby safety thingy
(2) get a bolt cutter

>>212117495
lol no
Your neighbours report you to the local council and you get fined

everyone repeat after me
LOLCENCE

>>212117456
The landlord will probably hand you an eviction notice for destroying his property.

Now we know why it was a Brit who wrote 1984, and why it took place in London

>>212117786
I thought an alarm goes off or something when you plug it out of the socket but apparently it's not that much of a nanny state yet
I mean you could just remove/unscrew it?
the landlord has nothing to do in the house unannounced while it's rented out anyway

>>212117829
exactly!
what an absolute meme country!
bongs, get your act together!

>>212117857
Your neighbours will see what you did when they see your window wide open and report you to the council.

I don’t mind so much. It’s tough when it’s really hot but it helps our national health service, not having to deal with lots of window falls

>>212117829
It's not a law per se, it's dumb retards and ambulance chasing lawyers suing land lords because some idiot fell out the window and then blamed the land lord.

>>212117970
It would be much better for the NHS and your gene pool if those retards just accidentally killed themselves.

>>212114424
a jest?

>>212114250 (OP)
When I was studying abroad, some dumb 18 year old Latino an heroed by jumping off our high rise student accommodation.

Then the university tried to organize some kind of farewell thing, but the guy was a total loner and literally nobody turned up.

Sad stuff.

>>212118266
He's taking the piss but Britain really has a problem with people who think it's the government job to stop them from doing stupid shit. Same mentality that created the 20mph zones because stupid chav mothers couldn't keep their eyes off their phones long enough to notice their child had wandered into the street, or all the crack heads who keep walking out from behind buses into traffic. Instead of accepting some people are too stupid to live, you get people who think the government needs to inconvenience everyone else to ensure they're safe. It's difficult for people to kick back at it as well because the media will put wall to wall footage of crying single mothers insisting we need to make all cars out of foam and anyone who doesn't agree is a psychopath who hates kids.

Genuinely I don't know if that anon is serious or not, I've not seen them before. Been a while since I've rented though and I never lived in a council house.

>>212114272
we have these since child safety locks are mandatory on 2nd story and above windows but the landlord has to provide you with a key so you can open it if you want.

>>212117970
this whole post has to be a fucking joke

>>212117970
>it helps our national health service, not having to deal with lots of window falls
Is this actually a problem in any country? Even in Spain the only people jumping off balconies are Bongs, ironically enough

>>212114250 (OP)

This makes North Korea look like free. I'd rather my neighbors snitch on me for anti regime activities than for leaving the window open too far.

you're just googling random shit to make us look bad now, i've lived in half a dozen different council houses and they never have locks

>>212119559
I know but look how many daft JFs that anon strung along.
It is actually a legal requirement in care homes. Some student places have them apparently, that'll be because those are generally high crime areas and students staying somewhere for a year have zero sense of security so the insurance is sky high. I remember my housemate left his window wide open and some chav reached in and took his phone off his bed. But then we also had a brick through the window one time.
If some private landlord has done that and not given you the key they're just being a complete dick.

I'm not buying it. you can just unfasten that device to fully open the window

>>212114424
>>212114443
You fuckers took over 1/3 of the world HOW THE FUCK did you all degrade so far?

>>212119687
>>212119723
It is actually a legal requirement for a competent person to do a risk assessment and fit them where necessary. In practice, risk averse landlords will fit them everywhere

>>212119831
In the interests of safety I'd rather have a window that opens and I can jump out of if there's a fire than one that prevents me from somehow falling out of it when open.

>>212119831
it's silly but not dystopian, I bet every developed country requires some kind of stronger glass for larger windows or ones close enough to the floor as well

>>212117970
how did britain become femo-stalinist??

Yes they are way too trusting of their government, they don’t care that everybody will have dna risks and details factored into their public healthcare. The UK worship of the NHS is so fucking cringe and retarded. And Canada is certainly a cautionary tale in taxpayer-funded suicide, good job solving homeless problem by killing them

>>212123560

Brits accept not being able to open their windows because they know landlords have the backing of the All Power goverment.

window license is a thing in my city (los angeles) too

this is because black people keep buying cheap chinese windows that break and destroy the house when exposed to water, or ground outlets onto them and start fires. Because of this only plastic, wood and fiberglass windows are allowed now and only licensed window installers can install them. It is identical to a commercial door license or water license

No wonder balconing is so common among the British tourists in Spain. That's probably the first time they see a balcony or a window that opens.

Yes they do. It's just shitty new builds that do this shit because they are afraid of kids falling out of windows, Theres probably someway to open it fully. Theres usually restrictors for retrofits but for new builds its just easier/cheaper to dessign it so it can barely open

>or the real police.
>Actually why don't bongs just call the real police on these faggots for attempting breaking and entering?

He's a High Court Enforcement Officer. The Court has instructed him to act because the homeowner hasn't paid his TV licence. Nothing the police would do except back him up.

>>212114424
lmao
is this why bongs keep belconing in Spain?

>>212130746
How do you know that he is who he says he is? Do they get a badge or do they need to show official documents for that. You can't tell me that everyone that scratches at your window can just claim he is there for official business

It's a child lock you fucking morons
how does the whole board fall for shuch obvious samefag bait

>>212122752
Most of the good ones went to America and created the US, the few good ones that remained had their gene pool wiped out in the world wars, many such cases

so this is how easy it is to samefag some bait and fool everyone lol

>>212114424
What safety? The window is on the first floor.

>>212132296
it's so toddlers can't open and throw themselves out of windows you fool

>>212132382
Maybe you should watch your toddler then?

Responsibility and accountability are outsourced to the government in the westoid's worldview

What is that? I've never seen a window like that

>>212114967
I've never seen a window that looks like that, let alone the weird lock thing and pigeon spikes

the original post on X has less people believing this fake shit than 4chan does
this place is literally more stupid and gullible than fucking Twitter

>>212114250 (OP)
Is this a Southerner thing?
They're all gay like that

>large low level windows
it is referring to windows accessable to small children

>>212132661
it's still quite shocking how many fell for such obvious bait hook, line, and sinker

>>212132684
but aren't large low windows exactly the kind suitable for fire escape?

>>212114250 (OP)
what are those spikes

>>212133449
to stop birds landing there

>>212133549
>oi! got a loiscense to admire that bird?

You need to apply to the council to be granted warrant to purchase a key to unlock the device. This is not typically granted. Alternatively, you can put in a petition to have the opening limit raised. Twice yearly it's paud. 150mm is £150 if approved, £200 for 200mm, £250 for 250mm etc. The true annoying part is that it's per window.

actual bait and you retards fell for it

>>212114250 (OP)
Don't think I've ever encountered this before in my life? This has to be in some sort of housing to support mentally unstable retards

Mental how easy it is to bait foreigners on here, say any old shit and they believe it. I remember the thread from years ago where we got people to think we had communal outdoor toilets.

>>212114565
The thirdie version of this is that all houses have like external jail cells so you can leave it open and not get robbed

>>212134869
It's an old sash window which are not very secure so it's probably just for security.

>>212114272
We have to install grilles in our windows so people don't commit burglary. Is that better or worse?

>>212114424
put me in the screencap

>>212114424
Hahaha wtf

posting in epic bread

>>212132684
Funny how you can choose not to have an emergency window and just have those prison ones instead. Being a rentoid in Britain is like living in a prison.

>>212137510
Rentoids also pay property tax in the UK for their landlords.

>>212114424
Hahaha
Pls b real

Never trust British.
