Meant to add as well, his kid and friends from across the road use the lawn as a football pitch and my kitchen window as the net. He also uses it as a shortcut to his car instead of walking the six foot to the pavement.

McFsC said: The fact you never get a chance with the grass is surely worth a knock on the door and saying thanks. It saves you a job, right? Stop been so negative and lighten up.   The thing is I'm not a sociable person , I hate talking to people as I invariably have nothing in common with them, most are thick as f  k. If I do end up chatting usually within 2 minutes I'm thinking oh god, I need to get out of here, I'm bored s tless. So taking the time to knock on their door and be all neighbourly is out of the question, sorry.

I know what you mean and to be fair, I can be a bit like that.
A note through the door?

I don't mow the neighbours lawn. However, I do jet wash her front wall if I have gone to the effort of setting it up, it makes sense to spend another 20 mins doing them both. Likewise I've got a cherry picker coming in a couple of weeks to paint the exposed timber on the gable end. Being as the other neighbour's gable end is about 10 foot away I may as well do it at the same time. I'll then wheel it round and do the other pair of gable ends for the other neighbours. It also means the cost of the cherry picker is split 4 ways.

Two doors away I've got the next Derek Bird living there.
Airgun pellets in the fence.
Another Neighbours grass had weed killer on it three times.
Car scratched on the drive.
A proven liar.
Threatened me with a spade once.
Convicted of threatening behaviour.
Police have been down quite afew times.
Generally acting the hardman.
Obsessive behaviour , cleaning his car almost everyday.
Putting dustbins in the middle of the drive so you have to get out and put them away before you put the car on the drive.
It's a question of time before he explodes , and he will , it's a question of time.
If you are reading this Billy , no one likes a bully .
And you are worrying about a loon who cuts your grass ? Trust me you have no problem there.

Thank them for what they've done, look out for them, and hopefully they'll look out for you.
