Finally moving next week!
Here are some things I wont miss about my local area:
- The large number of people who seem to think it's acceptable to just dump anything that wont find into the wheelie bin onto the pavement in front of their house. Fridges, mattresses, sofas, whatever.
- The man a few doors down who sells secondhand cars on the side, and at any one time has 5-6 cars parked in the road taking up all the spaces.
- My ancient neighbour who can talk at you without pausing for breath for half an hour given the chance. One continuous monologue which is uninterruptible. We hide from him.
- All the people who built (probably illegal) outhouses in their garden, but instead of connecting them to the mains drainage, just let all the waste water drain out of a pipe into the back lane behind. My shoes got soaked once.
- The people down the road who are incapable of putting bin bags in their wheelie bin, so they are never collected, and so their front garden resembles a landfill site.
Phew. I'm moving away from it all!
