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!

My dad was a builder before retirement. I'm seeing my parents later so will regale him with this saga Grin

I imagine he'll be WFT?!? about it all.

I have just wasted ages reading the second thread now I need to go food shopping. Have the council said when they are coming out?
Hope they take it seriously.

this has got legs OP

Msqueen33 · 28/07/2017 13:20

I don't want to read any other thread today as it won't at all live up to this one.

cjt110 · 28/07/2017 13:20

Totally inappropriate but fuck it.... What if CFN are in France... And their holiday is being ruined by the fires... and then you, Wattyyyy have dobbed them into the planners.... Karma. Right there.

OP I know some are asking for photos but if I were you I wouldn't post any, unless you're happy with them possibly being picked up by Mail Online etc.

WoofWoofMooWoof · 28/07/2017 13:21

I don't think I've ever seen a thread move this fast! It's almost impossible to keep up lol.

CFN is already in a world of shit, but can you imagine if you woke up tomorrow morning to find all the rubble & stuff cleared? There won't be a shitpool deep enough in the universe! Shock

WanderlustW · 28/07/2017 13:21

I reckon we won't hear anything from CFN til Monday, probably gone away for the weekend to avoid the building work

AlternativeTentacle · 28/07/2017 13:21

What time is planning man

Why does it have to be a man?

Just keep yourself safe OP, if your neighbours get confrontational just walk away and call someone.

Marking place for their return!

cjt110 · 28/07/2017 13:23

For CFN... Mad Sorry, my mention of OP was in a jesting way

BrieAndChilli · 28/07/2017 13:23

Thankfully most of the enforcement for rectifying this will come from the council, in a way it's lucky it's listed as if not you would probably have had to take them to court yourself and bring a civil suit to prove it's your garden etc etc, the fact that they have damaged a listed building means it will all be sorted for you!

I'd definitely be using my garden lots and walking around smelling the flowers/feeding the birds/getting a suntan while they are stuck indoors in thier kitchen!!

GodIsDead · 28/07/2017 13:24

I've said it once and I'll say it again, this thread is everything. I really need CFN to come home now!!!!! Grin

PeanutButterCheesecake · 28/07/2017 13:24

Placemark...soz.

cjt110 · 28/07/2017 13:24

Out of interest, why do buildings get listed? Just to preserve history?

SabineUndine · 28/07/2017 13:24

Never mind karma, I've got ALL the Schadenfreude going here. I haven't much sympathy for the neighbours. They must have known they were taking the piss even if they missed the magic words listed building.

new thread new placemark I tried telling my DH about this thread but he's just not interested. Oh well. More entertainment for me.

AgentProvocateur · 28/07/2017 13:25

Maybe the neighbours are reading this thread and are too scared to go home GrinGrin

8misskitty8 · 28/07/2017 13:25

Have you ever seen the neighbours before this happened ?
I really should be cleaning instead of reading the posts !

LazyDailyMailJournos · 28/07/2017 13:25

Is anyone else thinking that the CFN's are probably away for the weekend......... relaxing........reading......catching up on MN...."ooh, wait what's this juicy looking fast moving thread here?"...
"Barry, it's our fucking house!"

Brilliant. Made me laugh so loudly I've just woken the dog up Grin
