Obviously not BBQ, fire pit, children, tree houses, pools, climbing frames, footballs, bonfires, low fences, music, parties,DIY , lawn mowing, extensions, cats, dogs, have I missed anything? Wouldn't want to piss off anyone within 50 miles of me.

You must make zero noise. And under no circumstances shall you lift your eyes towards any of your neighbours gardens or houses.

Dont hang any form of lights or lanterns
Dont hang your washing out
Dont have any children or pets outside.

Someone the other day was asking if they can jet wash their patio in the middle of the day 😂 on a weekend! Like wtf, it was like 3pm or something!

Just try not to be an arsehole.

WalesStar · 14/06/2021 20:08

Hot tubs!

UnconsideredTrifles · 14/06/2021 20:07

No, I've definitely seen someone on here complaining about people who keep their curtains closed all the time.

Stressybetty · 14/06/2021 20:07

Talking, laughing and looking over your fence at your neighbour

Scarby9 · 14/06/2021 20:07

Or water the fence.

HermioneGrunger · 14/06/2021 20:07

Power wash your patio, that's also illegal.

Theunamedcat · 14/06/2021 20:07

Don't hose your fence

FelicityPike · 14/06/2021 20:07

Can’t look over your fence.
No trees.
Don’t leave your washing out overnight.

Bagelsandbrie · 14/06/2021 20:07

Don’t feed the birds, you’ll encourage them to poo everywhere.

AuntieDolly · 14/06/2021 20:07

Hot tubs
