Would You Buy a House with a BBQ Next Door?

Me too!
Does anybody's opinion change if we substitute a hypothetical, middle class pizza oven for the apparently low-brow BBQ?
I'd definitely move in next door to that, infact I'd probably offer to buy the house with the pizza oven.:www: Progress Report :www:

Funniest thing I've heard all day!
We were thinking of building a brick BBQ when we do up the garden, best not though as who knows what the neighbours would say!0 -
Having thought a bit more about this I've decided (and I know it'll be controversial) that the most annoying thing any of my neighbours has ever had is a cat.
I imagine that I'm about to get a flurry of rebuttals from a vast hoard of outraged, cat owning, denizens of the interweb but I'll justify my position by saying that I've never stepped in BBQ poo or had a trampoline dig up my plants.
Carpet gripper along the top of your fencesNever, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0 -
Anyone who gives a stuff about that should also avoid living next to anyone with -
A lawnmower
A big tv
Children
Any kind of pet (including goldfish)
Any friends
A nicotine addiction
A job outside the hours of 8-6
If I could, I would !!!!!You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.0 -
Our house has a brick BBQ that was built by the previous owners. We converted it into a compost heap. Although that wouldn't be obvious by having a quick look. I wonder when the house next door but one was being sold did potential buyers decide not to buy because of our BBQ? Or maybe having a compost heap in your garden is worse than a brick built BBQ?0

Assume people are also judged by the quality of their garden furniture.0

PasturesNew please tell me you were drunk when you wrote this!?!? :rotfl:
Our BBQs are generally between 4 and 6 adults, definitely no kids and no music, drinking a nice Chardonnay with freshly caught trout (I live by a river) grilling on the BBQ; chattering away watching the herons, kingfishers and swans as they pass by. If we spotted a neighbour also out chilling then we'd absolutely and genuinely invite them to join us.Every generation blames the one before...

Oh god that sounds 100% awesome, can I come to one?!?0 -
This is hilarious!!
wow people make assumptions...
Not wanting to live next door to someone with a bbq would also suggest that you would never ever have a BBQ yourself or attend a BBQ...
Surely most if not all households at some point have a BBQ?
If you BBQ properly there should be very little smoke, if there is smoke fat is hitting the coals and you are most likely cremating your food and either eating something that is burnt right through, or giving yourself food poisoning
.
You wouldn't stand a chance living where I do, nearly everyone has a bonfire every weekend, you wouldn't notice a BBQ, everyone has either a dog or a cat who always appear in each others gardens. We woke up to find a cow in our garden the once! Our garden is always dug up by badgers, there is a fox and 2 fox cubs so fox poo is often found. And bbq and bonfire smoke smells like a bed of roses compared to the muck spreading...
xI hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
