Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be a nuisance neighbour and we try very hard not to be.

I am by no means a model neighbour, and don’t pretend to be. I am council house ‘scum’. Our previous neighbour was an ****, when we moved in the fence on our rhs...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Health and safety.
Literally just nearly ran over a man that went to run out in front of my van, trying to retrieve his safety hat that had blown off his head in the wind. Oh the irony
