To be annoyed at next door's 'phallic' chimney pot?

[PoisonousSmurf]

We have a shared chimney stack and there were two small chimney pots. One for our house and one for next door.
Whilst we were away for a week, they must have got builders in and they put in a monster chimney pot with a cowl for next door and reduced ours to being flush with the chimney stack.
They never told us this work was being done. I have used the wood fire since and the 'draw' seems unaffected. But WHY?? Does one chimney have to be bigger than the other?
It makes me feel like they are lording it over us...
Which by the way they are anyway as they own all the land around our estate.

There's nothing like a bit of chimney pot envy to bring out the worst in people.

[SupportTheresaElseBoris]

Know your place peasant! 😂

Was genuinely looking forward to a penis looking chimney.

Best think is to take no notice of their penis extension and just get on with enjoying yours. Its not the size that counts, its the satisfaction you get from using it

Stop seeing everything as cocks and you'll be fine.

[ChardonnaysPrettySister]

A phallic chimney pot is clearly a sign of lording it over the plebs.

Can you erect a higher satellite dish stand to show them?

[Crescend0]

Can't say I've ever noticed chimneys in any shape or form.

Stop being insubordinate and try to enjoy your serfdom.

[echt]

Laughs aside, I'd be having words with them about altering your property .
We need a photo. Or diagram.

Is it like this?

[milkmoustache]

What about adding two breast shaped satellite dishes to your house in response?

[PoisonousSmurf]

I can't stop looking at chimney pots now.

[drspouse]

Have they done work on your chimney without permission? I'm confused.

[echt]

Damn!! Great minds.

Or this?

[PoisonousSmurf]

Milkmoustache, We do have a massive Freeview aerial. Maybe that's what started them off.

[PoisonousSmurf]

drspouse. Yes! That's what's annoying me and the fact they chose to reduce the size of ours!

[CamperVamp]

They had NO business to reduce the size of yours, or do anything to yours.

Seriously, post in Legal about that - you need to make sure they have done it safely etc, and that their pot is not overhanging your space - this could cause issues when you sell. Post a serious thread in Legal, and then we can all get on and enjoy speculating about massive erections on people's roofs.

[Collaborate]

They had no right interfering with your side of the stack. You are entitled to demand that they pay you the cost of getting a contractor up there to replace it, though perhaps it was removed because it was loose and therefore unsafe? In which case it might be sitting in their back garden.

[PetitFilous123]

I don't think I could motivate myself to get annoyed about this. What is your concern?

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Why don't you just speak to them.
They are out of order, by the way.

[HargenDarse]

Was also expecting a penis shaped chimney.

[Pominoz1]

Are you really serious ??? Good grief, talk about first world problems.

[Deemail]

They shouldn't have altered any part of your building without your prior consent.
I would post a more serious thread in legal to see what to do now.

[SleepingStandingUp]

Hang on - so penis chimneys aside (thanks echt) - have they physically changed YOUR chimney? Who owns your house?
