    No. Just buy a blind. They are from just £6 at wilkinsons
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Yes, the sun hasn't shone in the UK for months.

    Dont worry folks

    I have been round there and switched the Sun off and moved it to another country :)

    Yep sarcasm I know but has the OP considered that their own glass could also cause a problem for other not so sensative?

    Why on earth has this country descended into a mindset that everything has always got to be someone elses "fault" usually accompanied by the outstretched hand for the compo? :mad::mad::mad:

    My first thought was also that its a wind-up too but I have a feeling deep in the pit of me stomach that the OP is deadly serious. As phil said - fit a blind for heavens sake.

    If the man at the council said anything but take a hike then that would be worrying.

    Like others have said blind/curtain or if you can get your hands on any disfuse film and put that on the window.

    Told my dad and he said place a mirror on window sill to reflect light back on them.

    Some people really do sound rather pathetic. They can afford a wall mounted TV but not a cheap blind. The mind boggles!
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
