I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I’m making a list of Grand Designs projects in order of what it cost to build them – see Part 1 here and Part 2 here - but I found working out the cost of “The Dome House” in the Lake District (S10E08) so complicated and so interesting I decided it deserved its own post. Apologies for the length (you might want to make a cup of tea first).
Kevin introduced the episode by saying, “This is the story of how one man’s overreaching ambition threatened everything he held dear; not least his home and the security of his family.” That was spot on.
THE BUDGET:
Architect Robert Gaukroger, with his wife Milla and children Mia and Joe, bought a pebble-dashed “ugly 80s duckling” overlooking Windermere, England’s largest natural lake, in around 2003. You can see the location on Google Maps here. The cost of the site and existing house is not mentioned in the ep, but this Daily Mail article says he bought the site from neighbour Jane Moore for “more than £700,000.” (Don’t forget Jane Moore – she pops up again later).
The home Robert planned was four times the size of the original – around 560 sqm according to Grand Designs Magazine - and he knew from the beginning he didn’t have enough money to complete it.
The initial budget of £400,000 was scaled down to £300,000, then - by the time Kevin met Robert – to £250,000. Robert doesn’t actually have £250,000, and explains in the episode, “properties we were selling to do the house are not going to sell for what we anticipated.” Kevin refers to these properties as “houses,” meaning Robert may have owned at least two houses in addition to the £700,000 Lake District house the family was living in. Robert adds that he may have to sell his motor-home, his “summer boat” and his “cars,” plural.
So although we have no idea of Robert’s debt at this point in the episode (we find out later they hav

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
