| And another......
Reminds me having to go out to mediate in a neighbour dispute....
Problem was, I knew that there were no neighbours within a good half mile of this newly refurbished cottage which had recently been bought by a guy who commuted to London ( 8 miles from Gainsborough railway station you see! ) and that the house was surrounded by open farm land.
On arrival, I'm told that the problem is that the farmer owning the field behind the house had dared to start working in the field with a tractor at 9.30 am on a Saturday morning and that I was to go and tell him to cease and desist until normal office hours!
I then explained that this was a rural area, not a city centre and that I would consider the farmer to be a most considerate neighbour for starting at 9.30am which didn't go down well.
The chap ranted a bit more until I pointed out that normal office hours in the area in summer were about 3.35am to 10.30pm.
The scary thing is that people like this actually exist and think that they can twist the rest of the country round their fingers to suit their very narrow view of how life is meant to run.
Makes you cringe to say the least......
