Erect a 12 foot high solid fence with searchlight towers at each corner, burn their cat on a cross in their front garden and get caught having carnal knowledge of their daughter in a public place - that'll show them who's boss.

Thankyou for the varied responses from killing them to talking to them, including the obvious nudity options that I expected from you lot.

I'll slowly contemplate what to do next. I still think I fancy a nice big coniferous hedge. I'm sure it will add value to the house when we come to sell it, whenever that is. Or it may just raise questions, in which case I can declare my love of bushy trees.

Car update: I have now secured both house-front spaces (this is day 5, night 4) and will be able to continue this until either:

a) it rains that much I give in and drive to work or
b) the missus decides to drive to work.

haha! I feel victorious (and a bit petty, but hey, I'm not moving it out of consideration - there are no other gaps)

PS -- to paint a clearer picture, both of our houses have only a small lawn to the front, so if neighbour builds a driveway, my settee TV view will be of the side of a car. Not good, grass is better.

PS - I caught the train to Reading and back today. That was a special experience.....

Good point .....perhaps more people should try that

Our neighbour owes me £100 in compensation for when he punched me. That showed him... Funny thing is now if he so much as squeaks in my general direction it'll be witness intimidation... I hate court tho, all that crying made my mascara run...

Infact yes, i have had the pleasure of dealing with the type on several occasions, and everytime in every situation they have been the most pig ignorant people I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

I got new neighbours today, turns out the previous people are now renting,

Ah , my bad

So then , what's our definition of these pig ignorant 'Ethnic Types'? Are we referring to Poms, Jocks, Paddys, Gypos?....just wanting to understand

Without wishing to be rude or insulting , I have to say, the above sounds quite ignorant and blinkered

Thats fine, I said ethnic so as not to be discriminative to a particular type or be acused of being racist seems people will play that card no matter what now.

Everytime I have come across them they have been ignorant and rude.....therefore that will be my opinion of them until I witness otherwise, if that is now classed as racism aswell, then so be it.

I have worked with, dealt with, and lived next to this particular type of ethnic group many many many times.....I have never had a good or enjoyable experience through any of my dealings despite consderable amounts of effort being made, in particular when they are clients. I therefore have my informed opinions on them until proven otherwise.

I have dealth with, and therefore have informed opinions and dislike on other minority groups aswell such a white benefits cheating chavs (like most people do)........but thats not racism as they are white, if I said black benefits cheating chavs it would be.

Anyway...back on topic lol

My new neighbours are quite so far.
