CF allotment thief part 3: The ‘plot’ thickens and auditions begin for the west end musical

[YaMuvva]

Just creating one now before t’other fills up. Will post updates when I have them

Last thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5048540-cf-allotment-thief-part-2-the-battle-of-barbara-and-the-beansprouts?utm_campaign=thread&utm_medium=share

The garage was mentioned we were just blind/stupid and didn’t see it on the ad (also the 12yo child showing us around didn’t mention the garage on either first or second viewing!)

I’m also not bothered about the troll hunting. It really isn’t that interesting a story and IMO the threads have been so long thanks to other posters’s wonderful veggie-related puns and humour, rather than me trying to make a ‘comedy’. And yes I am enjoying myself posting about it- heavens, a woman having fun, call the village elders (probably Barbara seeing as she is soooooo old)

I have greatly enjoyed the batshitery on this thread and OPs very droll replies to some of them!

For all those Barbara supporters who think OP should just hand over this land to her, Barbara could have bought the land outright if it meant so much to her. She could even have paid in instalments over the 10 years she has had use of it.

She had warning that she would lose that right as soon as her friend put her house on the market so it can’t have come as a huge surprise that the new owner wanted to take possession of the land they have just bought and paid for.

I assume there are people on here who would be perfectly happy to hand over random chunks of property according to the whim of the barrack room lawyers on mumsnet!

Hope it gets sorted without too much angst OP and happy harvest!

The garage was listed (we just didn’t spot it), the allotment wasn’t.

They do a bit yes, DH is a bit shorter (and yes RJC is gorgeous and under rated!)

Can someone post the link to the first thread. I totally missed it and this sounds intriguing! 🙏🏻

Your husband looks like the gorgeous Rob James Collier?

I hope Barbara’s got some sunscreen on that décolletage.

Just be carful if itv get the rights you’ll end up with Alison Hammond and Stacy Solomon playing major roles as they seem to be in EVERYTHING at the moment!

@Merrymouse @dapsnotplimsolls I clearly didn't think the third act through. OP, don't pass the script to Tarantino or it'll end with all of the allotment lot being walking dead/vampires.... You're doomed OP DOOMED. Abandon the allotment or you'll become one of them.

Ask your plod friend to lend you his stab vest, you might need it when Babs arrives with a pitchfork

Shorter, a bit greyer and a bit more cross looking

I think it is very rainy today - lots of puddles about.

If the allotment wasn't listed in the sale particulars, I wonder where you stand legally @YaMuvva as technically it might be argued that therefore you haven't actually purchased it? (Someone might have been very sly here 🧐).

Tricky situation. You need solid legal advice on this one. Which of course you are aware.

Not here, it’s glorious we’ve been basking in it!

It was in the title deeds, but it wasn’t listed in the for sale ad.

Im not quite sure how the adverts work. Whenever we’ve put a property on the market EA have basically gone off what we’ve told them. I think. Unless they do some research on their end!

I have it on the best authority that she has been making it in industrial volumes for the past 10 years .... to her secret recipe 👍

I'm in North Yorkshire in 6 weeks. I will listen out for scuffles near allotments

if its on the deeds (which it is) then you are all good. Yes the Land Registry makes mistakes but both the seller and the nefarious Babs have confirmed that it changed hands along with the house.

I am loving that @isitbananatimealready and @DeanElderberry are coming in with real vegetable growing expertise here too! Fantastic 🥦

Nominating Judy Dench to play the OP

or Jennifer Saunders

babs…. Maggie Smith

No no no... I've already decided.
Sue Cleaver and Malcolm Hebden.

Can't wait to hear what happens next OP!

This. Let the Redditers stew in their Troll juice.
