I'm sorry, but speaking from bitter experience, there are some men, my neighbour included, who seem to think that a woman (or in my case woman and adult daughter) is fair game to prove his masculinity by trying to dominate and control. For over twenty years we have had problems with him and have found our only course (can't afford legal) is to go to the correct council authorities. Both he and we own our own houses but there are still legal requirements that the council can deal with.
I can totally empathise with you. We're in a similar situation. Lived in house for 14 yrs. Neighbours on one side are great, lovely irish lady with a very big family, down to earth & she always knows I'm here if she wants help (shes been ill & is getting on a bit etc), but give each other space etc. The other side....I could quite happily murder them. They moved in about 5 yrs ago. They're a very "traditional" set up. She walks 5 paces behind him when they go out. He does the DIY sort of, she does the cooking & cleaning. They're in their late 50's. Things got worse over a boundry issue with us and totally broke down when he called me a f*****g c**t because i showed him on our deeds the boundary belonged to us and we would put a new fence up & remove the old dying privet hedge he loved so much!
He hates us with a vengence because we're modern. I do the DIY, hubby cooks (he's a trained chef anyway!), he'll hang out the washing while i'm fixing something or painting! We've had the police, the council, solicitors,surveyors, you wouldn't beleive the hassle the two of them have caused us. He's reported me for causing rats cause of the chickens, called the police on us (mind hubby did say he'd rip his head off
, lol), the police told him not to waste their time, we put our rubbish outside our house & he decided to pick the bags up & throw them back on our driveway (which split open) because we're not allowed not put them on the "council grass verge near his house"
:blink: We had to see the dustmen about that one - who promptly told him to go and "do one".
We want to move as we've had enough of them. Somewhere nice and rural with no neighbours thanks. So i can have as many cockerels,chooks,geese as i like and put my god damn rubbish anywhere!!
