Man I could write a book about my next door Bitching old bag .
OK it started 28 years ago when we moved in and my mate delivered 10 fenceing panels
he stepped on to her lawn ( open plan at the fromt ) and she gave him a bollocking to which he told her to sex off .
she then comlained to the council about my taxed and insured white van parked on my own drive .
next came the Caravan parked on my drive which she could not even see from her house another complaint to the council
a few years passed while we had kids who then grew up and played in the street with their mates on roller blades they got real pissy about this one when I made the kids a ramp and complained again all to no action from the council to me .
Kids grew up and I decided to be young again and built a landrover Trialer in my garage .
this resulted in 2 visits from the council to check out the alledged noise levels again they measured nothing illegal and had me run all my powertools for their assesment .
funny there was no complaints when I started useing the Trialer even though the 4 ltr V8 had straight through pipes but only ran it on to the trailer on tickover unless she had really annoyed us .
3 years without a complaint while we used it twice a month .
sold that and started making the bike lights to soon receive a visit from the planning dept saying they had a report of a bike light factory in my garage so showed him round and he wrote a nice letter saying nothing illegal going on .
We went on holiday and the kids had a bbq when we had gone police round as she had complained about the smoke form the bbq as they struggled to light it . ( it was one of those big oil drum jobs ) result the nice police men had a coffee and lit the barby for the kids .
so after 28 years of complaining and her son is a bobby so we have got used to her taking our picture when ever we make a noise .
they have not yet pinned anything on us .
so my advise would be to keep doing it if it is legal and get on with your lives and dont bother about your neighbour.
in fact keep it legal and annoy the hell out of her.
