I've been thinking about re-roofing. Problem is that the property is (a) listed and (b) in a national park. Have to go to three different authorities to obtain planning permission. I'd be allowed to let it fall down - but not to replace it other than with stone tiles (which, to be fair, I'd want anyway)

Coincidentally that are another couple of verse first lines that may be more appropriate to this thread:
"And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right"
"See the people standing there who disagree and never win"
