Meldrew that is....

I miffed off with the council keep killing the grass down the side of my property.

About 18 months ago I re-seeded the grass verge about 18" strip all the way down the side of the fence and house, it looked a mess. The came and killed it again with weed killer.
Did it again towards the end of last year as I had had new fences put up and they left the verge a little rough.
Now I was only admiring how well the grass was growing last week and actually cut it with an old mower I keep specially for the that job.
The bloody council came again on Monday and kiiled the grass again with weed killer. It' going all brown and horrible again.
Got on to the council again, got a jobs worth and he said we don't strim anymore we kill.
Apparantly it's a health & safety issue now if they use strimmers, vibration injury.  :-? :-? :-?

I said to him leave mine I'll cut the grass myself, he said what if you move the new owner will complain it's not been done. I said I ain't going anywhere I been here 34 yrs and you've been strimming all that time, up until recently.

As I type this would you believe they are cutting killing the grass again.

Rant over, sorry
"I don't believe it"....

If your a tenant ask for a rent rebate, cos they keep killing your grass, as for strimmers and vibration, I saw a couple of Council greenteam staff using the petrol ones today , so they're obviously not a vibration issue here in London

Nor here either
