Neighbours Ball in My Garden - Drama

Rev

I'd play them at their own lying game. I'd tell them you're sorry and are very happy to replace the ball. Just as you're sure they'll be happy to pay the £3400 vets bill to remove part of the football their child kicked into your garden from your dogs intestine.

This is how a small domestic problem with neighbours gets out of control. We had a little issue with ours several years ago, and before that we were really good friends with each other. A simple dispute puts the knockers on that so now until either of you move you will be in constant conflict, either loud music, litter thrown in your garden, washing getting nicked off the line etc etc etc. We have not spoke to our neighbours for over 2 years now after a little dispute regarding one of their children. Families stick together and close ranks. This dispute while not your dogs fault will only escalate with tit for tat, believe me. I would never buy another terraced home, if we ever bought again it would be a detached then either side have no contact. Only 4 out of 10 of us get on with the neighbours anyway. But this is a typical example how a small dispute can effect your relationship. We do not really socialise in our back garden no more, only the odd BBQ in the summer because I cant be arsed seeing them in their garden for all the giggling and whispering.

I feel sorry for you, unless you can repair the relationship you will have further problems, only small but never the less pain in the !!!!.

The first sensible reply!

No matter where you go from here, you are into neighbour problem relationship territory and that isn't good, in fact it could be downright terrible.

Up to you, to how you go from here, you've read the replies, you know, more or less the legal worry you have, ie none.

I wouldn't suggest paying the scrotes for their football, but if can possibly help, I would suggest trying to be good neighbourly about it.
You have to live next to these guys, we don't.
