I’ve lived in my rural spot for three years now, I have only one close neighbour and I keep myself to myself......I say “hello” to my neighbour and to anyone else I see when I’m out exercising but I’m not the sort to join committees etc.

Today we received a letter from someone at the Parish Council.

Apparently, the half a dozen small tree stumps I put on the grass verge in front of my front hedge are a “hazard”.

They prevent anybody about to crash from ploughing across said grass verge!

I was reminded that this is “Council Land”.

I shall be reminding them that this land is so valuable and sacred that they require me to cut it........in fact, if it wasn’t for the charity of the local farmers no grass or hedge cutting or snow clearing would ever get done on our stretch of road!

We put these tiny lumps of wood on the verge because when we moved in the whole patch was chewed up mud from any delivery van or the postie parking on there.

It was also done to deter people from letting their dog s h I t outside my house like they’d been previously allowed to do because the previous owner had left it looking like they didn’t care.

This jobsworth would rather have a muddy s h I t patch ready for the one in a million driver who needs my ten yards of frontage to save themselves from a head on death whilst mowing me down on my own drive!

These “Little Hitlers” at the Local
Council and the sad t w a t who dobbed me in need to get a life.

These bits of wood have been in situ for three years for Christ’s sake.......just as well there’s been no need for this escape route during this period.

The most ironic thing is that the council’s verge on the opposite side is a f king shambles and totally overgrown!!

These people are imbeciles granted power.


I hate the council with a passion! In my council area you get a small bin with less than 6 in a house or more than 6 you get a double bin. I asked what was the rationale of a house with five getting the same size of bin as an old lady by herself - the reply was dunno! I offered to pay for a large bin but was rudely turned down.

My reply was f uck you and from now will not separate paper/bottles etc which takes time and go to the tip and chuck the lot in together.
So much for councils working together with communities!
