I passed my NHS poo test - one less thing to worry about :smile:

Does that mean you no longer need L plates

Now I am not a violent man. It's a beautiful spring evening. I'm sitting on my allotment with G&T, the birds are singing, there is a gentle breeze, no one about though I can hear the click of leather on willow from the club. Idyllic and I'm very fortunate.

Our neighbour of three doors down does not understand village life or consideration for others. He has started cutting his feckin' grass. At six o'clock on a Friday evening!!!!!!

Myself and a friend, a fellow neighbour, did once challenge this behaviour.........on the summer day he was using a stone cutter and the breeze was towards are cottages. His reply?

"At least I take a pride in my property"

Gobsmacked doesn't even begin to cover it..........but is now a standing joke!

Happens here too. Home all day and then suddenly they erupt in the evening.

Chainsaws too. Grrrr.

If I am not mistaken, you did make reference to previous occupier having spiked strips on fence, now, you know why
Well spotted! :okay: It is annoying but putting spikes on fences is bit OTT and not something i would do...i chase/shoo any i see and there arent that many in the neighbourhood. Some days though every critter and bird seems to be aving a go and winding me up...I even got dumped on by a seagull tuther day :rolleyes:
