Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

[weenie]

Nash I would write something like this to your local council CEO but first of all I would write to the housing officer a similar letter if not the same and keep copies of all correspondence. I would keep a diary of everything they do that you feel is unreasonable as a neighbour i.e breaking plant pots, children playing noisy late at at night, rubbish being left for long periods of time etc. You could also take this letter to your local Councillor on Monday and see if he thinks it is okay or if anything thing needs added or removed, who knows maybe he will pass it on to the relevant parties for you. I do hope you get this problem sorted soon as I know what it is like to live beside a neighbour who thinks nothing of making your life an utter misery all I can say is I'm fine now but there was a time not so long ago my life at home was unbearable through her actions and inaction at doing something about it. You really do have my sympathies in this situation you find yourself in, I know it's hard but try and not let it get you down too much take care.

Dear (Mr xxxx or Mrs xxxx) or To whom it may concern,

Private and Confidential

I feel that your home should be a place where you are able to relax if you so choose, but inconsiderate neighbours can ruin this, and some of the worst offenders are those who shatter your peace with constant unbearable noise and total disregard in what their children are doing by allowing their children as what I can only describe as the freedom to run wild and do as they please with no consideration to their neighbours or neighbouring properties. I'm saddened to say that is the situation I now find myself in and I am truly at my wits end with this situation.

I feel sadly I have no choice but to get the council involved in the hope that I may finally get my once peaceful home back. I'm quite sure that you would be in agreement that ones home should be a place where one should be able to relax and enjoy.

To name some things that is spoiling the enjoyment of my home and these are:

They keeps black bags full of Rubbish in the house this causes myself great concern where mice and rats are concerned. I think the council have had to come and take them away outwith the allocated collection dates (please correct me if this is not the case).

The house in question has had the Pest Control out 4 times within a year (please correct me if this is not the case).

Their children have not been allowed to stay there till the house is clean, the children are never at school (once again please correct me if this is not the case)

As the children seem to absent from school during the day my enjoyment of my home is also being shattered during these hours through their behavior.

In my opinion their children have been running wild destroying things which is a no no in my book as they a simply not giving their neighbour's any consideration.

By leaving rubbish about that makes our address look both unsightly and is removing the enjoyment of my home, it also looks as if I simply do not care for my home which I can assure is not the case.

I am now making a complaint to you as my local council in the hope that this problem will be hopefully solved in regards to this matter. My neighbour to whom the complaint is about resides at this (address here) I feel they are causing a nuisance through persistent and excessive noise and unacceptable behavior which adversely affects my enjoyment of my home.

It goes without question I feel as a neighbour I have a duty of care to my fellow neighbours in keeping my property neat and tidy and allowing others to enjoy the peace and quiet that your home should bring by not any causing disturbance in any shape nor form.

On a final note and I feel is needed to state is that I would be deeply ashamed if I thought I was causing my neighbours such distress and taking away the enjoyment of their home.

I trust this matter will be treated strictly confidential and my name and address will not be given to whom this complaint is about simply because I do not want any repercussions from this family as my enjoyment of home is bad enough without being added to due to this complaint.

Please advice if this will not be the case before any action is undertaken by the council.

Regards

(your name)

Well it looks like instead of a ICD battery change they are going to implant a new ICD now plus it looks like it won't be done till late June or sometime in July now when the original plan was to do it much earlier this year.

[weenie]

Take care den and I'm sorry to hear implant won't be going ahead as planned.

[denphone]

They are leaving it to the last moment sadly so any plans to see the family up the line are delayed for now.

Internet crawling to a standstill, spent half an hour on phone to tech support. Gotta actually give Virgin kudos for this, might have got offshore tech help but I was able to understand every single thing he said, I did have to ask him to repeat one thing but a car decided to beep its horn just at that point.

Been escalated to second tier support, give 48 hours if not better engineer visit needed.

l hope it gets sorted out for you Mark.

I just had some idiot phone me asking if I lived at postcode XXXXXX so I said then he said your have a Hotpoint washing machine ( I don't) but I said yes. He then asked something are you 20 so I said pardon and all went dead.

You cant even rely on scammers to do things properly and I was looking forward to stringing him along.

Some people in hospitals.

Just for a change it's not me that's in it's my dad. He's going to be fine by the way not to worry.

But in the bed next to him the patient keeps having 8 or nine visitors at once which is disturbing the whole ward.

Twice I've had this computer generated scam phone call. It was taken by the answer machine and showed "international"

Here's the same from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igNvb8NT5mU

What will they think of next.

Reminds me of when I was last in hospital. Due to me being on an infectious ward, we each had individual rooms and were not allowed visitors in our rooms. So, when my sister bought my neice and nephew in, I went and met them in the visitor's room. My nephew decided to walk up to the other patient in the room, who immediately said "Get him away from me! I am infectious!". He did not have any visitors, and was just sitting there watching TV (which he could have done in his room). How selfish of him. We ended up having to have our visit in the corridor outside the ward, which I don't think was good for anyone.

Anyway, my moan this morning. Also selfish people, ironically. It's also a question. Why do people who don't want to get on a train that pulls in to the station stand in front of the doors (and I mean immediately in front), then moan when other people, who do want to get on the train, ask them to move? Why stand there if you aren't going to get on the train? Why not just stand a little further away then move into position when the train you do want comes in?

That is, of course, assuming people getting on the train ask.. I was getting on a train the other day, and someone grabbed hold of my rucksack and pulled. They did apologise, and were apparently looking for something to hold on to to get on the train (ignoring the bloody great handrail above my head). I did point out that I considered them rude, and that all the sorrys in the world wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference if I had fallen out the train and injured myself (which was a distinct possibility given how hard they pulled).

Also about trains....
