So it seems I have upset a neighbour, I have a good idea which c$%t it is.
I received a letter saying that I was in breach of the planning restrictions on my dwelling by storing a boat on the drive. I double-checked the paperwork and they are right, I should not have a boat stored on the drive....
Except, it has been there a couple of days at a time while I perform maintenance on it. It is normally stored at a sailing club in Pompy. I class that not as storing it, but as parking it temporarily. I have explained this in writing to the council who will go away and make a judgement.
Has anyone else come across this? Will I find myself in the stockade, pelted with rotten veg and fruit?
probably not but the neighbour must be in dire need of a dry slap one dark night
Despite my size, and people's assumptions that I must be a violent person, I am indeed quite anti-violence. I prefer a more passive-aggressive approach where I will warn them that my fence is coming down in order to be replaced by a wall. They will have to erect some kind of temporary barrier in order to prevent their dogs coming on to my property which will fail which means I will have just means to get upset when their dog is all over my garden (even though I love dogs but I wont tell them that
) and the walll will be built by my mucker, slowly, just at the right speed that it would cause maximum nuisance but not so slow as to warrant any further council involvement (if they could for the slow erection of a fence boundary)
There are other things I might look at doing as well but I shall refrain from discussing on a public forum
