CFN patio doors onto my private garden thread #3

Okay I thought I'd start this for when they inevitably show their faces!!

Sorry all the threads have different titles Confused

I have a slight update - I managed to catch the nice neighbour at the other side (I think he'd heard the commotion and was loitering about waiting for me Grin )

He was gobsmacked! Apparently he's lived here for thirty years and has never heard anything like it. I told him I'd keep him updated and he asked if i wanted to come in for a cup of tea, I politely declined hahahah. Glad I now have a nice normal neighbour on my side!

glass glass glass! You weneed to listen in.

WeyHay · 28/07/2017 14:18

I'm not going OUTSIDE, now that they might actually be there I don't want to speak to them ahhhh oh goodness

Oh dear you poor thing. But why not go outside? It's your garden, and if they step into it, they are trespassing. Call the police at that point.

I would be very "high status" with them if they tried it, and asking them in (put-on) haughty tones, with my best "Looking over my glasses at you" stare (think Paddington hard stare) and ask them what they think they are doing, entering my private garden without my permission?

Whatsername17 · 28/07/2017 14:18

They are likely to want to talk to you. If they think they had a right to the garden they are going to say so. All you need to say is 'of own the garden, it isn't shared. Would you like to see my deeds?' With the door 'it's nothing to do with me, it's a listed building.'

RortyCrankle · 28/07/2017 14:18

OMG - can you get a friend to stay with you OP? I hope to god they don't come banging on your door. I suggest you dial 99 on your phone so if they kick off, you only need to dial one 9 to call the police.

Flowersinyourhair · 28/07/2017 14:18

Totally agree- you are right, they are wrong. Be brave OP. The Mumsnet Massive is behind you all the way

Why not go outside? Because it's tipping it down with rain! (Well it is in my garden) (Misses point)

IloveBanff · 28/07/2017 14:21

myusername Have you read the post on thread #2 at Fri 28-Jul-17 11:44:00?

ScarletForYa · 28/07/2017 14:21

Get out there OP!!!

LazyDailyMailJournos · 28/07/2017 14:21

You NEED to go outside and mark your territory. No need to go weeing around the boundary although it might not be a bad idea

OMG! Another 100 posts while I was reading and typing! Hadn't seen you had reposted the diagram Banff

And now CFN are back!

PurityOfChaos · 28/07/2017 14:21

I think avoiding an encounter with them is the sensible option, they are bound to be furious, you don't want to be in the firing line.

SoupDragon · 28/07/2017 14:21

It might be the builders in the flat so make sure they don't steal any rubble.

Wattyyyy · 28/07/2017 14:22

They appear to be shifting stuff around, if they knock on my door I will answer (front door only!)

There's a massive black bird pissing about my garden, I keep catching it out the corner of my eye thinking it's them!!

Perhaps the builders (Bogdett and Runn) are returning the window.

EvelynWardrobe · 28/07/2017 14:23

What's the betting they have such brass necks that they come striding across the garden demanding to know why Wattyyy has installed a door in their kitchen wall?

LaContessaDiPlump · 28/07/2017 14:23

You may need to call that direct number now op....

WoofWoofMooWoof · 28/07/2017 14:23

Don't forget to phone the planners to tell them CFN is home!

IloveBanff · 28/07/2017 14:24

OMG, OP. Do you think they're knocking through to yours for a larger living room?

TheMaddHugger · 28/07/2017 14:24

For Spookle
