Had a worrying letter this morning from the council. Seems a neighbour has decided to report the “condition of my property” to them. They want to send some people round from Environmental Health early next month. I have no idea what they’re looking for, but I have nothing to hide and they’re welcome to look around.
What really irks me is that these neighbours haven’t bothered to approach me and tell me what the problem is. The nice chap at the council said that sometimes, when a neighbour goes straight to the council, it’s for malicious reasons. I’m not a trouble-maker, I tend to keep myself to myself, so why on earth someone might want to upset me I truly don’t know.
It can only really be my neighbours next door. They’re typical chavs, making loads of noise (especially in the middle of the night), loitering outside in the street with their mates etc. They only moved in a few months ago and I’ve never spoken to them. I think at least one of them is foreign and they regularly have foreign people visiting. Why is it that people always talk to loudly when speaking a different language? Oh, not to mention that one of the women who lives there is incredibly noisy when she’s shagging someone. sigh
Anyway, I’m continually trying to work out what they’ve actually complained about. I’m not very good at tending my garden, and the door and window frames need a new coat of paint. But is that really worth complaining to the council about? I really don’t think so…..
