I lost it and kicked the door in and said what I thought of making that amount of noise at that time. There were three huge black blokes with rings on all fingers and wads of cash in their pockets. I made my exit and decided it was time to move as I could imagine being shot by one of them. 6 months after I moved so did they after a police raid. They even had a bloke living in the Garage. I felt sorry for the way her life had gone and after meeting her mother, I could see why. The truth is, you cant live next door to that. It was messing with my brain. Like Mick now I live in the country away from anyone. I need the peace.
Sadly mate, even moving to the country isn’t always a perfect solution.

I got chatting with a neighbour who lives 300 yards away from me a few days ago for the first time.

He’s Asian, nice enough bloke from what I could deduce yet his own next door neighbour is a nightmare.

Obviously racists and blanked him when he introduced himself to them for the first time and subsequently have battled with him over a fence they believe has overstretched their boundary by one inch!

She is a former quantity surveyor and is a pain in the a r s e about everything, he says it’s made him and his wife’s life a misery.

Both are living in £1m homes, it’s not just housing estates where you get these issues.
