If you worked for the Austrian Planning Authority?

Question

Would you give planning permission for someone to build a cellar in their house?

Answer 1

Based on 2 incidents?

On that basis I wouldnt let any British parent travel with their child overseas, as they are either killing them or losing them while over there.

The McCanns.

Scarlett Keelings.

The guy who jumped off with his kids in Crete (hogan).

The list goes on.

I dont think Britain has too many things to be jumping up proudly about.

Answer 2

Why would you say no..becuase it is the interntion of every Austrian person to keep a child prisioned there for 20 odd years?? Come on!!

Answer 3

Apparently a lot of Austrians built cellars in their houses at the height of the Cold War because they shared a border with the Soviet Union and they believed that there might be a nuclear threat.  It's something I read in the Guardian newspaper, and I'm taking no sides.
