I got my plot just before Christmas, was really happy as had been waiting almost a year for one to become available. When I started working on it and chatting to my lottie neighbours I learned that the chap who had it before me was only using the plot to sit in his shed and drink special brew and smoke cigs away from his wife, having been put under doctors orders to give up both.So, because of this and the fact he was not doing any work on the plot, he was given the choice at renewal time to start work on it again or give it up. He gave it up, but has started coming down to the shed again to drink. My neighbours have been keeping an eye out and telling him it's not on, but last weekend he came down while I was there and set up camp outside the shed! I feel really sorry for him, he had the plot for 20 years and is obviously lost without it, but it made me very uncomfortable having him there and I didn't really want to tell him he couldn't come- I had the tinies with me and didn't know how he'd react. Just feel so sorry for him, but do feel he could've pulled it together if he really wanted to keep it. :'(Don't fancy having a full time shed dweller so what to do. Have put lock on shed so he can't get in when I'm not there, but he is saying he owns the shed and seems to think that means he can come and use it! My neighbour has told the committee so they'll probably have a word and hopefully sort it out tactfully!Thought you lot might be interested in the darker side of lottie life!!! :-\
