Allotments 4 All

I will never understand some people.

We are a small site.Twenty plots.We run alongside a lane with detached houses on the opposite side.The Allotment has been here for about a hundred years.

My neighbour had a visit from someone who lives in a new build opposite.He asked him to move his chair.Plastic dining type style of chair as he could see it from his window. :(

Another guy had a visit from him and he asked him to stop strimming as it was giving his wife a headache :-X

We also had a sudden no bonfire rule,not that we have that many.I suspect this guy was involved.

This man told my allotment neighbour he pays a lot of council tax and he come here to have some peace ::)

Why move opposite an allotment if you do not like the view. :D

   ::) ::)That's the 'ME' society we live in today.  Perhaps it might be a good idea for someone to ask him to remove his house as your view as been spoilt.  And he's not the sort of person you want living down your lane.  Does this guy think the rest of us doesn't pay council tax and income tax then.  I hope your lottie neighbour pointed this out to him.  I would be adding a table, chair and brolly.
As for the view, a few well placed fast growing trees/high edge would soon solve that problem.   :o :o Just hope he never wants a plot!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D

It does make you wonder why doesn't it  ???

That reminds me of a case where an incomer to a village from a city moved into a house near the village church and tried to get the church bells stopped on Sunday cos it woke him up!!!

All together now, Ahhhhhhhh.  ::)

Come Christmas time, I would be so tempted to find the tackiest, loudest outdoor decorations I could find and cover the front of my house with them.......in fact why wait for Christmas! ;)

He should stop wingeing... the New Build has a view that isn't other new houses because the lotties are there...  :-X

Perhaps his wife has a permanent headache and that is why he is so miserable.  Perhaps you could get him on your side with a few courgettes when you get a glut.  Or perhaps he will get so annoyed about the view of the chair that he might sell up and move.
Betula, sweet peas growing well, can't wait for them to flower.

Everybody should now get themselves plastic chairs! ;D

So pleased Borllotti.Maybe some pics when they do flower?


The odd thing is we have a fairly high hedge so he must go upstairs to be offended LOL. ;D

Look at 'How does your plot grow', beautiful plot and shed but can you spot the white plastic chair.  Had a digital camera for Xmas and haven't yet found out how to download pictures and post, but will certainly take some of sweet peas and read the manual (which I hate doing, too impatient).

When we lived in East Sussex my neighbour asked ME to write a letter to complain about the farm buildings at the back of our properties and the smell of the silage.
Sorry lady, you shouldn't have moved to the country.

Tell him to turn around and look the other way.

Or, ask him if he shuts his eyes, does he still see a plastic chair?

Or, would he like to purchase a chair for you that is to his liking?

Tell him that chemists sell headache tablets (and give him directions to the nearest one). And tell him to take his wife with him as it may be less noisy there.

Or, ask him if he would like to do the strimming for you when his wife's headache has gone.

May he just want/needs sex, and his wife doesn't.

Tell him to write to the council and complain. His council tax is nothing to do with you, and you pay your fair share, and isnt it brilliant what facilities that the council provide for the money.

Just laugh and tell him he's come to the wrong place and if he thinks its noisy now, wait until the music
festival(s) start - but he will get a great view without having to buy a ticket.

Try asking him  "You're not from around here, are you?" in a strange voice and look

Did he not view the house and area before buying ? Buyer beware.

If you are his neighbour, he is also your neighbour, you could complain about the sight of his car and ask him to move it down the road - see what he says.

Perhaps my opposite neighbour (Saddad) will come over and ask me to move it? ;D

I would sit out on the porch and start playing the banjo if I were you.... ;D

I'd invite half a dozen friends (with plastic chairs) and have a barby when they have their washing out...  :) Oh and chuck your empty cans into his garden...  ;D

Never mind the barby, wait for the wind to blow in his direction and find some tyres to burn :o
Only joking. Tell him to get a life or move!

No that's not right
Recycle the the cans and chuck the plastic chairs in his garden [old broken ones of course]

I'm about to take two old white plastic chairs and an old white plastic table down to my plot...but you can have them if you think it might wind him up a bit more! ;D

We've just had a message round via allotment association from parish council (a bit tongue in cheek from Town Clerk i might add) that the lady across the road from the allotments at Number XX has requested that plotholders stop parking outside her property as they are stopping her parking outside her house (public highway I'm afraid madam!...suffer from this one myself nothing you can do!). Actually very few people park on the road and if they park outside her house it's only accidental as there is usually plenty of spaces.

The householders just across the road are guilty of dumping their rubbish on the allotment site.....perhaps we'll shop them.

 ::) neighbours ::)

Apparently the people who live in the house that backs onto our plot threatened to sue the previous plottie because.......the birds were dropping elderberry juice on their washing. Still, perhaps they consider chucking their garden tat & building waste over our wall as just deserts.

& our house neighbour kindly watered our plants with jeyes fluid or similar last year because he doesn't like caterpillars in his yard. Worst was, the nozzle fell off his watering can while doing it ( ;D) & had the cheek to ask for it back  :o- claimed his grandson threw it over the wall. The white precipitate on nozzle & rapid death of our plants told a different story.........  ::)

Wait until he has a bonfire/barby and then hang your washing out in the lottie.  Then you can go around and complain about the smoke.

Aren't some people mean :'( Go tell him to get a life and stop tyring to run yours. The man with and the caterpillars phobia needs to work out if he has a garden he also has wildlife ( i know where I'd throw my snails next time) ;D
