Watch out for the follow-up crime when someone in a white camper van pours plaster of paris into the prints.

Did the prints show evidence of webbed feet ?.

Were there tracks of a Reliant Robin three wheeler outside ?.

[Bob Eager]

I think I mentioned that one.

I was in town today, so viewed the offending concrete. There are indeed two or three footprints in the concrete, quite shallow.

I'd fill them in in a deliberately contrasting colour and make it a fun feature. I was told that the builder wants £1,000 to dig the lot up and relay it.

Actually, that sounds unkind to the builder, which I didn't mean to be. He's done a really rather nice job of laying the concrete, and he's obviously a perfectionist. The footprints spoil the effect he intended.

However, leaving the footprints going across it and filling them in a contrasting colour would be quite a fun way of dealing with it, at minimal expense.

Or if he wants it to look as originally intended, just fill them in with= the same colour!

To be fair, if it was near me then I am sure my cat would have provided the footprints:-)
