Here's a strange one. Colin and Collette - immediately that sounds as if I'm making this up, but I'm not (they are) - design their own Lancashire palace on a computer, print it out and use it to get planning permission. Now that the property's built, however, it's bigger than they'd specified, and they might face having to tear it down. So how did it happen. Apparently, the computer automatically scaled the blueprint down when it printed it out. Hmmm. The council isn't convinced, and points to 15 other discrepancies.
