    Congrats OP on your new home - and on keeping a sense of humour when dealing with this idiot. And many thanks for keeping us updated on the saga - like, I'm sure, many others I've been on tenterhooks the last week waiting for updates!

    Once your solicitor gets the inevitable list of complaints from this idiot I would suggest that you get them to refer himm to the answer given in Arkell v Pressdram (1971)[unreported].

    I had a browse to find a match for Delusional Daddy, but couldn't find a jack @$$ in one for the life of me. ;)

    That's the jacket I should have donned when he asked me to act as his PA/ tour guide/ call handling service :rotfl:

    I'm so glad you escaped with no Daddy related confrontation! And SO glad you managed to exchange/complete in time to get your house :)

    (I also hope your old neighbours keep you up to date with the more amusing unfolding chapters of Daddy and Daughter.)

  • Yay! Congrats to you & it sounds like you kept your dignity and were subtle in making life slightly awkward, well done :-)
