Admittedly I'm from the provinces oop north, but do people from the big smoke actually LOOK like that? Fortunately one of the few benefits of living in the unenlightened north is discrimination still exists and the chap above would get laughed off the streets. Shudder to think how long he'd last out in town at night... .popeyewhite said:

well I, am truly outraged.
It's the village gala this weekend. Its fab, Spitfire fly over, fell race on the adjoining moors and so on.
Very similar to the village my dad used to live in. Every year there was a quite large village Fete which sounds very similar to yours, and then some 'travellers' moved in a couple of miles away and got wind of said event and descended upon it.It's the village gala this weekend.

Everything changed
I was manning a bric a brac stall and saw this little kid stealing toy cars, his mother was stood right next to him and saw me clocking him doing it. Her reaction was to give him a good clip round the ear and admonish him for being too obvious...
I didn't even bother challenging the behaviour as it is little things like that that escalate into a scene that i don't want to be a part of!
Some of the attractions were unmanned and used on a trust basis, there would just be a box that you put money in if you wanted a go..a few of those boxes went missing before we even had a chance to do anything and then the whole event had to be 'locked down'.
I thank you kind sir's.
I mean what are things coming to ? The village shop sells quail's eggs for goodness sake.
and yet someone is allowed to wander round freely with Kayleigh and Ashleigh scrawled on her fat back.
milfs milf's. Mmmmmmmm.
I'm told there is a big swinging scene in my village. I haven't encountered it yet though.
My grammar ain't what it once was, don't ya know.

As soon as I saw the word 'travellers' I had a feeling of what would come next. bEverything changed

Get over yourself sunshine.... You were the one who got all hot under the collar at the possibility of being wrong... and you're the one who cant let it go.
I'm moving on like everyone else.
The (antipodean?) princess is moving on. We'll go on, be a good girl and scurry off. And watch out for those Hipsters. You'll be in for a shock.I'm moving on like everyone else.
Finally, is Australia council?

Disclaimer: I work from home, my office overlooks the road, I'm a bit of a curtain twitcher.
So with that in mind I'd like you to meet one of my "neighbours" and decide their level of council. We live in a mews development, townhouses on one side and an apartment block on the other that's mainly occupied by elderly people and young families wanting to get into the catchment area for one of the better schools in the area. Then a single mum and her son moved in.
No issues for a while, she's a bit odd, drives him to school late most days in her pyjamas despite the school being about 200m away and can't make eye contact with anyone to say a polite hello but OK, some folk are a bit like that.
She parks on the school zig-zags, in bus stops, on double yellows, on the zebra crossing, this is the point my interest peaks.
Then she crashes her car. Hire car #1 arrives, dented within 48 hours. Another hire car replaces it, another dent within a week, she keeps this one for a month or so. A brand new Corsa arrives and is seemingly spared the usual treatment until it's been around for well over a month, dented wing.
The dent remains for about 6 months.
During this time she seems unwilling to use her allocated parking space and chooses to use the visitor space next to it or parks on the road. This causes a knock-on effect of people parking across from my drive and making access slightly less convenient. Again this makes me more aware of them.
Installs a football net in the communal garden outside a neighbours window - kids promptly kill all the grass and when their gardener comes he has to move everything to do what's left of the grass.
Puts a BBQ in the garden and some chairs, again outside another neighbours window, has parties into the early hours.
It's someone's birthday, hires a bouncy castle and puts it behind the apartment blocking every window of one of the elderly neighbours, has lots of chavs come round to spend the day bouncing and drinking.
In the meantime she gets a boyfriend, he moves in, the primary school age child appears to move out. Boyfriend seems to sell cars on the side and a series of untaxed, uninsured cars that lack MOTs arrive, park in visitor spaces and attract what appear to be gypsies when it comes for them to be sold.
Boyfriend also appears to run a 24 hour alcohol and cigarette delivery service from the apartment via a Facebook page. He also has a lot of raffles on there for random items like an iPhone, a sex pond, a Tag watch and so on. Other neighbours I speak to from the apartments believe him to be a drug dealer too although I have no evidence to back this up.
Last week a chap arrived to fix the dent in the Corsa, they have a new car and presumably the lease is up. It's raining, the car is parked in space next to a neighbour's car. He's running an extension lead through a puddle. The finished job is terrible, you can see the dent, there is about 10mm of paint on the car, drips to the point the parking space has a puddle of metallic silver on the floor and a faint silver outline where the car was.
The Corsa has a puncture, it's been like this for a month, each time they use the car they pump the tyre up with a small compressor, they often use the car late at night, last night it was 11pm when they had the compressor running.
The amount of litter, mainly from McDonalds, has gone up since they moved in, it's often found next to their cars before blowing around, usually ending up in my garden.
They got a dog, now suddenly there is dog sh*t on the pavements near their apartment.
I appreciate my knowledge of these people is somewhat excessive and I'm bordering on stalker level but it annoys me that one household can have this much effect on what was an otherwise serene neighbourhood.
A bit council right?
The apartment block will probably have covenants about use of the garden and parking spaces. It would be in your interest to try and get hold of a copy. If the "council" family is in breach of the covenants you and your neighbours could force the issue. It could take a long time and a lot of bad blood, however.

In cases like these you only ever have two options compadre: if she's attractive get in there quick (single mum = desperate, frilly lingerie), or move out as the downfall of the neighbourhood will surely follow.Edited by popeyewhite on Thursday 28th June 15:01
