The Shop

Official merchandise of NIMBYs of Britain, bearing the arms. Every purchase supports the association's work, which is to say Pat's stamps. Everything is posted second class. The mug goes in a box, because we are not animals.

A white mug bearing the arms of NIMBYs of Britain, with the motto Objectus Praeterito, Objectus Futuro, on a wooden table beside a plate of digestive biscuits and books titled The Village and Planning and Other Nuisances, with a church on a hill through the window — Books and biscuits not included. The view is available separately, and we will object to anything that spoils it.

New

The Arms Mug

£12Free second class postage. In a box.

An 11oz white ceramic mug bearing the full arms of the association: lion, unicorn, oak leaves, the cottage with a line through it, the newt, and the motto Objectus Praeterito, Objectus Futuro. Objected to the past, objecting to the future. It holds exactly one cup of tea, which is the correct amount to drink while reading a planning notice.

Dishwasher safe. Objection safe.
Handle on the right, where it has always been.
Suitable for parish meetings, planning committees and staring out of the window.

Secure payment by Stripe. Quantity can be changed at checkout, for households with more than one objector.

A woven cream lanyard printed with NIMBYs of Britain and the arms, with green and red edges, a black safety clip and a metal hook, holding a district council planning officer's staff pass — Pictured on a planning officer's pass. She has since been objected to. Pass, officer and council not included.

New

The Lanyard

Woven cream, with the arms and NIMBYs of Britain repeated along its length, green and red edging, a safety breakaway and a metal clip. For your parish council pass, your allotment key, your reading glasses, or nothing at all, so that people ask.

Fits any lanyard-shaped neck.
Breakaway clip, in case a developer grabs it.
Worn at committee, it reads as accreditation.

Secure payment by Stripe. Quantity can be changed at checkout, for the whole chapter.

Contents may vary slightly. Each pack is assembled by Pat, who has strong views about which stickers people deserve. The certificate in the photograph is made out to A Concerned Resident, who has asked not to be named.

The gift pack laid out on a wooden table: a manila envelope stamped PLANNING NOTICE, the A4 sticker sheet, the Certificate of Membership, the Official Objection pad and the red gift card reading Someone Thinks You Object Too Much — The pack, as it arrives, poster folded inside. The envelope is the best bit.
