to ask my new neighbours if I can go in their garden?

In short do you think I can ask my new neighbours if we can lift a small play house over their fence into our garden?
Im moving a very short distance and taking it apart will be a massive faff.....however it will fit in our van in its current state. They live on the end of our terrace and have a gate to access their garden.

Its very cheeky so I thought I would sus it out on here first. I dont want to get off on the wrong foor with the new neighbours as Im trying from the previous neighbours because they are so vile!

I wouldn't think that was cheeky at all.

notapizzaeater · 19/02/2013 21:51

I personally wouldn't mind - no harm in asking

VivaLeBeaver · 19/02/2013 21:52

As long as you don't damage the fence its fine I'd have thought.

YANBU, I can't see anyone having a problem with it really, just try not to trample her flowers!

DizzyPurple · 19/02/2013 21:52

I wouldn't mind. Just ask!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/02/2013 21:52

I think it would be fine to ask. It might be that one day you can help them out if they need to transport something that fits in a van!

kinkyfuckery · 19/02/2013 21:53

I wouldn't mind a neighbour doing that at all!

Why is it cheeky? You're just walking through their garden! Unless you happen to shit as you go, I can't see how it will be a problem.

RobinSparkles · 19/02/2013 21:54

It wouldn't bother me. If they are nice neighbours then just ask them.

whois · 19/02/2013 21:55

Yeah totally fine to ask.

midastouch · 19/02/2013 21:55

No harm in asking, i wouldnt have a problem with it

Crikeyblimey · 19/02/2013 21:55

Not cheeky at all. We are the end of 4 houses and our neighbours brought their new shed through our garden and over the fence. It never occurred to me to say no. That would have been mean.

WorraLiberty · 19/02/2013 21:59

Gosh no, not cheeky at all.

I've had lots of neighbours ask me this over the years

When the family 4 doors away were giving their slide to friends, it got passed from garden to garden and then over my side fence into the street Grin

there is currently no fence between the 2 properties....Im bringing pannels with me from the old house and will be putting them up when I get round to it.
I have awful neighbours at present. They have made my life a living hell for the past 6 months. I went home today to find shitty nappies all over my garden :( My garden was so beautiful and they have trashed it, smashing our plant pots chucking large amounts of soil everywhere. its horrible, hence Im a little on the nervous side of the new neighbours.

They can only say no, which would be very mean.
