This afternoon I heard our back gate clang open and then shut, caught a glimpse of a checked shirt, so thought it was a male member of the family come calling. This idea was reinforced by them not knocking, just walking in, till a drunken man appeared in the living room doorway, looked around, said "sorry" in a foreign accent, then turned and staggered his way out again!

IT`S HAPPENED AGAIN!! This afternoon, daughter number two and her hubby were here, they left the back door open because it was so hot, next thing we know is a strange woman, very unsteady on her feet, walked in, wandered through here, SIL said "Wrong house", and she turned and left, no apology! She went to the house opposite, where the noisy, nasty foreign drunk lives, so presume she was also a foreigner.

Number time to contact the police I think.

Number, maybe Nellie's right? Don't want to worry you, but it could be a bit of a scam-type thing? And do you know who the landlord is for the house across the road - maybe he needs contacting about the anti-social behaviour of his tenants? hmm

number, the police really ought to know about these strange people. You would not be wasting their time. Yours might not be the only household they have invaded - or will invade.

We know the landlords of the house opposite, but only by the fact that they used to live near my daughter. I asked her if she had a number for them, but no, but my grandson, who played with thneir boy when younger, says he may be able to get it. I was going to ring the police today when the horrid noisy, nasty drunk and his wife were raising Cain in the street outside, but then I knew the police would also come here, and he`d see them at our door, so didn`t.

If you ring 101, number, and just tell them what's going on, explaining that you wouldn't want them to be coming to your house for that reason, I'm sure that they would take that on board.

They`ve just started up again, he`s come back from another boozy session, but she looks drunk as well now! If the noise really picks up again, I will be ringing 101. What a way to spend a sunny Sunday!

Mind you, the police know about them, they`ve been to the house several times. I think it really needs the landlord`s intervention, i.e. KICK `EM OUT!!

Marelli Sun 01-Jun-14 18:29:26

And on your birthday, too! Seriously, it could get nasty - best nipped in the bud. Does no-one else seem to take any notice of all this? Or are they too scared to do anything about it? hmm

Worrying and annoying. Please keep your back gate locked and your door when you are not in the garden. Open a window, not easy to walk in then especially if drunk.

Sorry, fumble fingers !

Back gate doesn`t lock, it`s only a small wrought iron gate in a fairly low wall, easily climbed. I don`t think though that it`s a security issue, just wish that people would find out for sure where their friends live, or knock and wait for someone to open the door.
Drunken neighbour went out again, was carried down the side passage later by a mate, then she came out, staggering down the passage, must have decided to play him at his own game.
Daughter wants us to move, but our house is worth next to nothing, we can`t afford to buy anywhere else.
