    I'm sure it would but something else would come along that will irritate you, a neighbour cladding/painting their house in a colour you don't like, another not keeping shrubs cut, another not painting or replacing their peeling and fading front door, the list is endless. It's best to accept these little annoyances and move on unless you can afford to live in a house in the middle of nowhere or a house in grounds so big you can't see your neighbours' places anyway.

    Thanks for the perspective there.

    There are definitely other annoyances going on in the street which I do seem to just look past. Not sure why this one erks me so much!

    Perhaps the neighbour has a problem with the look of your face since you've moved in but has had the good grace not to mention it or moan about it on an internet forum.

    It's their van. It's their driveway. They can do whatever they like.

    You're not wrong there!

    Hey, if it was something simple to fix and wasn't anything I was using (maybe an eyebrow) I'd certainly be open to suggestions

    I was wondering if you might be my neighbour, but I do use my Transit and keep in on my driveway. It's the VW van on my driveway that hasn't moved in a few years. It's such an eyesore that people keep knocking on my door and offering my thousands for it :rotfl:

    This could be as easy as 'hey - do you know that the scrap yard will give you £50 for that,and you'll have a clear driveway? Here's a number'. The neighbour might be grateful, or they might be attached to a non-working Transit for some reason. 15 year old spare parts?!
