    I think you're blowing it out of proportion to be honest.

    The way you were describing it was like it might have been a disaster area in B&Q - but that's a mild stain that you can just see with a squinted eye at best. Give it a week or two and it'll have faded away to the extent that only a forensic scientist will find it. Much fuss about nothing. Fingers crossed you won't experience any of this at wherever you're moving to!

    Hi,
    Is THAT it?
    Wow, , and you were thinking of calling out the council?
    Did you exaggerate about your neighbour as well?

    I agree with this!  I think you are over-reacting.

    I'm the chap who is buying your house.
    Now that I've seen the photo of the pavement I've decided to pull out of the deal (& who would blame me).
    Your people will hear from my people later today.

    😂

    I think you might have lockdown fever.  That will have disappeared soon enough and it's not even on your land! I wouldn't even particularly notice that!

    You're not my MIL are you? That would do her head in and I'd be saying really?. No one is going to get excited about that.

    It looks worse than it shows in pic. Honestly it’s an eyesore.

    This morning bought some white spirit and poured it over the offending mess. Seems to have cleared some of it.
    So you've added to the pollution by pouring flammable liquid everywhere! The water company must love you.
