    Your friends need to use their local council services to sort the problem.


    Im sorry to have to point this out, but your neighbors are affecting the value of your house.

    Though they have caused the problem, their selfishness may have cost you. Even though the problem is solved at present.

    He was asking you!! You’re the one who’s ranting about it. It’s way down my list of worries.

    What do you want to happen? What do you want to change?

    Thank you for your kind words. My dear mother, born 1911, departed this life more than 25 years ago, sadly missed: Where were you with her, pray?

    Apologies, Ive deleted the comment.

    This forum is full of bickering, hard not to get pulled into it.

    I've sent you a message also.

    I've started the thread and given my input.

    What's your point shortcrust? Do you have a contribution, or are you just looking to have an argument?

    And you haven't reacted to my comment. Why did you immediately assume the behaviour mentioned was typical working class?

    Keeping the front of your house tidy, isn't a behavioural pattern confined to the middle classes.

    I take it from your previous posts your a pensioner.

    Put yourself in the others position, and ask yourself how you would feel.

    Im guessing you wouldn't be happy about drug taking in front of children, rats and barking dogs.


    I'm a pensioner and under those cicumstances I'd be contacting the police for the drugs and the council for the noise and rats, doing nothing ensures the behaviour continues.
    It's nothing , not nothink.

    Well the solution is simple. An enforcement force should be created, which should respond to all calls, and record on video the whole incident. The should have unlimited powers to smash open doors, deliver lethal force if necessary and bring all nuisances like this under immediate control. All costs will be passed to the nuisance creator who if unable to pay will be enslaved and stripped of all human rights until any such sums owed to the state are settled.

    If you vote for me you get this ha ha

    I would say, follow the German model. Ours clearly, isn't working.

    Not if we don't want to sell the house.

    Yes they would have to declare any disputes on the relevent forms but that should not impact price and if they have reported them you never know the place may well be cleaned up.
