Odd things your neighbours do?
Discussion
My neighbour erected a massive shed tight up against our garden wall then hid for 3 weeks.
When he came out from hiding he said ' I didn't think it were going to be that big' and 'It's a problem, I'll move it'
I pointed out it blocked out ALL our evening sun in our garden and please would he move it.
Then he went into hiding again.
It's over three and a half meters high and I Think it contravenes planning.
We've got on really well with these neighbours over the years and then they go and do something odd like this and you end up deciding whether you want to enjoy a bit of evening sun or fall out with neighbours.
Daft f
kers.

kers.Talking of blocking out sun...
Neighbours round the corner, but still share the same garden (shared gardens are a disaster), refuse to let me have 2 massive lelandii removed, because they like looking at a green garden, and when I commented that we would like some sun in the garden as there was only shade now - "This is Scotland, nobody sits outside in Scotland"
Grass is now moss, all the sun traps in the garden are now mud traps.

Ideas for inducing the death of lelandii that looks natural welcome! (or the neighbour, but less so)

Trees are in the shared part, shared between two tenement buildings, I am in one of the buildings. Everything that gets done "has" to be done by consensus.

For the last 10 nights
The brides sister got married the summer after and she just had to go bigger than her sister, that was excessive.
This was, admittedly, some three months ago. But anyway.
Picture the scene. We live(d) in a little one bed flat in Parson's Green, right on Fulham Road. Busy busy. Flat opposite had been unoccupied for a year until a young couple moved in. Right stoners, the pair of them. My girlfriend used to ask me how I knew it wasn't just a normal smoking habit. I told her you don't really hold your breath for 20 seconds with a Benson.
Anyway. I'd finished Masterchef and a bottle or two of red and went through to the bedroom to go to sleep when something caught my eye. There, not 20 yards across the road - and in full view of a dense block of probably 30 flats - was the couple. They had Peter Kay's big light on, and he was hanging right out the back of her against the window, both of them having the time of their lives.
Went on for ages. Not that I watched.

Was out the front of my place today washing the cars and watched one of the neighbours over the road cutting back a bush.
Garden sheers or hedge cutters? No, he was dragging one of those old fashioned push along lawn,mowers over the hedge and just tearing chunks out of it, very odd.
Having said that I was cleaning the engine bay of my car and used a vacuum cleaner in part of it to remove a
load of dried leaves. Who's more mental? Haha

All this talk of parking uninvited outside someone else's house whiffs of council. How do they get through the gates in the first place?
ahem, this is PH- gates indeed.You mean how did they get past the gatekeepers house in the first place !!!
reminds me of my first long term gf as a young man. Was invited to the parents country house. She was a bit coy as to what it was like.
It really did have a gatehouse and a drive that her father was delighted to tell me, that he could get all 4 wheels spinning on his 4.4 RR overfinch as he batted it down the length !
