if you work 6-7 days a week and its dark when you get home ,why are you complaining

Despite the fact that their work hours are very long, they should be able to go about their business in their own home without constant agro! It sounds like the 'dirty,ugly caravan' is the last straw.

When one neighbour makes your life a misery its awful. We have fantastic neighbours around us except for one! And we've just heard he's moving! Hurray, best news we've had!

Wonky, i'm sorry for the agro you're getting, like us (and probably many more!) its horrible knowing that everything you do is being watched, its like being a prisoner in your home! Unfortunately there is always one who spoils things for everyone else! This is true in so many walks of life!

Find an excuse to invite the neighbour into your living room and sit them where your view is their caravan. In the conversation say things like " does it look like rain today?". When they see the caravan they might realise it's in your face, and ask you what you think. You can then tell them in a nice way and they might do something about it. Worth a try to avoid confrontation.

Have a read of Wonky's last post happywalker - it's sadly pretty obvious that the neighbour actually wants to upset wonky's family in just about every way possible.

While I cant add any further advice to that already given Wonky, I just wanted to say that I do entirely sympathise with your situation, as I have lived with problem neighbours in the past.  Ive lived in my present home for 17 years, and for the last ten years the cottage next door has been owned by a Landlord and rented out. most of the time with no problems.  But two of the tenants over the years have caused real problems and I know how much it gets you down when you have to live next door to it, day in day out.  

Luckily at the moment I have a very nice older lady living next door, who calls a spade a spade mind, but is fair with it!

Having said all that, in your case Wonky I would have thought at least the RSPCA would be very interested to learn of a dog home-alone for that length of time. That is illegal surely?

I wish you well and hope you can get the authorities on-side.

Reading Wonky's tale of woe makes my blood run cold. That's no exaggeration because living with anti-social neighbours is hell and unless you've experienced it you won't understand.

Sadly you will get little assistance from the authorities, rather the opposite when you attempt to retaliate, as the case reported last week appears to show where somebody driven mad by the neighbour's dog gave back some similar medicine. Admittedly there may well be more to this case but he got a 2 year restraining order and other sanctions for the retaliation.

Paul, i agree with you holeheartedly
