Neighbours guests using my drive without my permission.

Cleaned your drive! :eek:

We've never cleaned the drive.

No, that doesn't surprise me. Your house must be lovely.

I could have plenty of issues with my drive if I wanted to. I won't bore people with details, but we share part with a neighbour who's housebound, which means numerous delivery vans and carers' vehicles every day. It's unfortunate that the repairing obligation is 70% us and 30% them, but I can live with it because I have my health and 3 pensions, while they have next to nothing.

The private entrance leading to our drive would definitely give you apoplexy, because it is the only turn space within half a mile that's large enough to allow lorries to change direction. So, they do. About once a day I hear the 'beep, beep, beep' of some lorry's reversing klaxon. If I yelled at them that really would be hypocritical, because all of us who live in the country take wrong turnings now and again, so we do exactly the same thing!

Well, people come on to this forum with all sorts of issues, so why wouldn't you feel comfortable expressing yours? If you are also having issues with your drive, why not just say 'yes I sympathize.'

There's always going to be the usual peasants behind computers saying things they'd never have the courage to say to someones face, but you haven't struck me as one of them thus far.

So apologies if I've come across as disrespectful, and I hope the situation with your drive improves for you.

This thread's going nowhere useful, I'll let some brave peasant behind his/her computer have the last say.

I agree with Phil’s sentiments and can see why it would cause an annoyance. Unfortunately for him, he’s acted like a complete knob about it, so is unlikely to get very far with his genuine grievance.

Ok, then, clever sick sarcasm apart, tell me why and how you clean a drive.

Hoover? Sweep? Steam clean? Scrub on hands and knees? :cool:
