The English newspaper The Daily Mail
estimates that half a million people in the
UK moved house last year because of their
neighbours. The survey also revealed some of the
typical problems we have with our neighbours.
One in ten of those who responded said that noise
from next door had kept them awake all night
at least once. One neighbour played Whitney
Houston’s “I will always love you” at top volume day
after day. :smile (31):And another repeatedly flew a
model airplane into neighbouring gardens .:smile (23):i
A number of complaints involved pets. Neighbours’
dogs and cats doing their business in other
people’s gardens is a big one. Barking dogs and
meowing cats :smile (95):is another
typical complaint, as
are vicious, aggressive
dogs. Rubbish is another
area of conflict. Leaving rubbish :smile (92): outside or near other
people’s properties is something that angers many,
as is leaving your rubbish in the corridor in apartment
blocks. Smelly rubbish is also a cause for concern, with
many complaining about rotting food, or finding
food strewn all over the street because a rubbish bag
wasn’t tied up properly.
One couple in Leeds, England were victims of a yearlong
campaign of intimidation :smile (54): by their neighbour. “She
dumped oil on our lawn, she directed a CCTV camera
onto our front door, she put nails and glass under the
wheels of our car and beamed headlights into our
windows at all hours of the night. The mastermind
behind this? A 57 year-old, retired businesswoman
described by a judge as “an expert in mental torture”.
Sadly, it’s often the victims who are punished by being
forced to move away. It’s still very difficult to take
legal action against inconsiderate neighbours except
in extreme circumstance. However, the situation is
beginning to change. Ex-Labour minister Frank Field
has called for noisy neighbours to be evicted and
housed in steel-container homes on the outskirts of
towns and cities. Sound crazy? Actually he got the idea
from a similar scheme in Holland
.
Now , we come to our community and try to answer these
:smile (48)::smile (73):
What causes friction between neighbours
What complaints do neighbours have
What is the worst thing your neighbours
could do to you
If you had a really annoying neighbour
what would you do about it
Have you ever thought about doing
something nasty :smile (77): to a neighbour? What
.Write your comments . Thanks in advnce
