I am so hungover still that I was reading 'toadstool'. I was even looking at your picture wondering where the thing was!
And I was also thinking that your neighbour was a proper crazy man.

Difficult situation Andy and I sympathise.
Having an 86 year old mother who lives on her own (albeit over 100 miles away) I know what elderly people can be like. I find it hard sometimes to be patient with her, also with a friend who is nearing 80 and I transport to a meeting every week. But they are lonely and yes, we will all be that age one day. The older I get the more I understand it and try to be patient.
I know it's getting on yours and Mrs Andy's nerves and he thinks he knows it all but I think Dander is spot on. If you've got any paperwork to prove you're right and he's wrong then next time he mentions it you can say something along the lines of "Oh, I'm glad I've seen you, I've got some information to clarify this..............." as per Dander. Your neighbour will feel good that he has alerted you to something even though he is in the wrong, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you've put him right but in a nice polite way.0 -
You might want to ask him not to confront your wife at work, but if he knows this annoys you it may encourage him to do it more often.
I would respond to any future confrontations "I do not wish to discuss this with you, please go away" and shut the door.
I would suggest your wife does similar "I am not permitted to have private conversations at work, please go away".
What is with men and sheds?

He sounds like a right pain. If he keeps on, just ignore him. Or if you cannot, mouth a few platitudes, let him think that what he says matters to you and then ignore anything he has said. If he takes any of his nonsense further, it is he who is making a fool of himself. Don't let yourself be drawn into playing his game, or dancing to any tune he might playI can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
I agree with Paddy's mum, but he does sound lonely.0

Planning permission - it looks fine.
Building regulations - I think you might need building regulations approval because the structure is combustable and within 1m of the boundary.0 -

IMO, it would be much better in bright pink, not green, and with "You nut" painted somewhere on it0 -
I have to say I have avoided popping my head round the fence to speak to my neighbours as I feel its intruding into their private space. I did it last night after speaking to the lady of the house (outside the front) to speak to the guy who was cutting the grass and it still felt odd despite having permission. Anyway I guess different people will feel different about these kind of things.
Anyway glad its all been sorted out.0 -
