Odd things your neighbours do?

Indeed. No. 12 is also, of course, the only person in the street that could possibly get wound up about a dirty wheelie bin.

Happened to me last week (I'm also No.12 maybe it's a national wind-up scheme). I did get wound up about it because I use green compostable bags for my food waste and my bin is kept fairly clean. The dirty protest that met me when I got my bin back was not pleasant! I didn't leave a note but did the next best thing - hosed it out and cursed in the back garden under my breath.

My neighbour has emptied the crap out of there garage, by piling it up in the garden and moved a couple in there late 20's into it. The woman also looks to be pregnant.

Report to council, not a fit place for a baby.

My garage is cleaner than some properties i have been in .

How much rent do you charge? En suite?

Please, tell us you have reported it to the Council, because what your neighbour seems to be doing is so wrong (I think the technical term is "illegal") that "something needs to b done".

I haven't done anything yet. I haven't seen the pregnant women again, but there is definitely people living in the garage.I don't want to get people in trouble if I have the situation wrong.

I did hear a baby crying over there yesterday though, but only once.

That's no way to refer to your lady friends Mr Fritzl

The poster has previously raised the issue of one of his neighbours defecating at a hedge field. He neither welcomes this or perhaps thinks it is reasonable. As in this post from a few days ago

I live in a small farm and one of the ‘neighbours’ has started using the hedge line at the lower field as a toilet.

If it rains, my neighbour proceeds to dry off his plant pots when it stops.

I keep anticipating updates regarding application of moss killer to a concrete pavement.

I am disappointed.

Now this is the kind of thing this thread is about.

I forget to water the plants (truth be told I forget I have plants), let alone remember to dry the pots. It's good to know that there are people at the other end of the spectrum to me.

There ought to be a technical, biological or biblical solution to this.

Do you mean the decoratively paved one?

If so, ditto. What news, COllywolly?

Nobody nowhere said:

My neighbour periodically starts up his coal barbecue but never cooks anything on it. So we get a waft of coal and meat residue wafting through our back door if it’s open.

If he never uses it, why would it smell of meat

I live in a cul de sac, there is a house that looks along the cul de sac. As I was washing my car yesterday, the woman who owns the house, who I have never spoken to before, came over and asked if I would mind washing my car on my drive instead of the road, I said I did mind, sorrry. She then asked if I would bring my wheelie bin in as soon as the bin men had been, she then walked off, more than a little cheesed off that the conversation hadn't gone her way.

I'm with her on the bins. The folks in my cul-de-sac are quite slack taking them in, and we have 3 separate collections so it's likely some bins are out front every single day. My 2 nearest and dearest neighbours often put a bin out on a Wednesday in case they forget. Collections are on Mondays and Tuesdays...

Makes the place look a right tip. Oh well, I'm at the entrance to the Close so I can enjoy the view from my dining room, if I sit at the right end of my dining table, in the other direction, along a tree lined avenue where civilised folk live who manage to take their bins in promptly.

Cul de sacs are always weirdo magnets. The last one I lived in had a disproportionate amount of nutter-house ratio and the Mrs Bucket next door also owned the house opposite ours. They would have dinner in that one and then pop back to their "main" house at bedtime. She was a professional curtain twitcher and I think she liked being able to spy on people from different vantage points.

Eventually the sold the one opposite and hired a removal team to move everything into the "main" house which seemed to consist of a couple of pairs of shoes and a pillow. 20 feet door to door, removal van, team of blokes etc etc.
