We live in a group of 7 houses, with lots of shared space. the Australians call this a “townhouse”, but I guess in the UK, it would be called a “mews” by some spikey-haired **** from Foxtons. Anyway:
The lady in the house nearest the road to totally bat-sh*t mental. Her front garden is almost beyond description, she’s like a womble, she just collects all manner of tut and “displays” it in her front garden. Old tree stumps, various bits of road furniture, actual furniture, random bits of metal bent into unusual shapes and (perhaps the very worst) WIND CHIMES.
We had a chat with a member of the owners committee who told us that she submitted a $2,000 invoice after taking it upon herself to jet-wash some of the common areas. After being told to poke her invoice (obviously), she is now taking them to court because she apparently slipped over whilst doing said jet-washing.
We only rent, so we are quite enjoying keeping out of it!
