    Nice theory, no printer. It's been on the "must get one" list for about 8 years.

    There was a discussion here the other day about printing cost etc.

    If I'm going to do it, I don't want it to look super-naff :)

    I'll think about the best/easiest way to do something.

    Happy to print a sign, laminate it and send it in the post to you.

    You just need to do the creative design/ words.

    I even have drawing pins!

    Under the deeds of your house do you have a residents management company Pastures? If so, it should be feasible for them to write to the owners of the rented houses and remind them of the deeds and that they need to inform their tenants of the contents.

    In terms of the grounds where the football is played, is it possible to partially fence and/or plant shrubs so that access rights aren't affected but playing football becomes a lot more difficult?

    Two signs up, two bits of old card, two sandwich bags.

    Poorly spaced, uneven capitals, black felt pen :)

    Small nails I'd bought "stash of random nails in case" and a hammer, 3 taps.

    LOL. Thanks, but it's OK .... Bodga-A-Job's fixed it for now... see how it goes. I'll work on a more permanent/tasteful fix later.

    I've actually no drawing pins :) I saw £land had them the other day in their stationery section.... I've no need for them.

    You're right, but I think they're so "typical council" looking :)

    I take it you don't have a "No ball games" sign, then?

    .... residents management company...

    No. Everything is freehold so a management company is not required. There is no communal inch at all, not one single inch. Every piece is freehold... all drawn neatly on the plan in the deeds.
    .... possible to partially fence and/or plant shrubs ....
    That bit I wrote was "for illustration purposes only". And, where I do get kids playing there's no way whatsoever of fencing it off or marking it out.

    Although footy is played, it's not here as I go out each time and I think another neighbour's "had a word" about 2 weeks ago and most of that seems now to occur away from us (just annoying 2 houses who own the players and 3 who don't .... which is now their problem to move on/resolve).

    No :)

    Maybe I should affix a tall/narrow sign ... and add irritations as they occur...
    No parking
    No ball games
    No cycling
    No screaming
    No dropping your litter
    No skating, no scooting
    No spreading detritus in the vicinity
    No leaning your bike against my gate so that when I open it a bike falls on me.

    Once the shouting's over. People will not like being monetised and there will be many argument threads about it ... and a fall off of some traffic before they all settle down again. Nasty bit that ....

    This is one of our issues....the lot involved in our sport can be a bit fickle at the best of times.

    There are other issues due to being such a large site and so lucrative to our hosts which I cannot go into at present.

    Nothing is impossible though and stuff can be worked out which youngest and myself are doing.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Just simplify it to "No Nuffink", should be clear enough
