Right thing to say. They will probably not give you anymore rubbish now
that you have vented your spleen. Well done I say.

Oh, she will. It's normally her husband rather than her, but it's been
one thing after another - they didn't like the compost at the end of the
garden, they think the chickens bring in mice (they don't, they just chase
them out of our garden into hers! Heaven forbid she finds out about the
rats, though!), they got fruit flies in their kitchen last year or the
year before when it was really damp and there were flies everywhere and
we got the blame for that, Nick was once drilling at 9pm to put a tv up
(when we got home from work) and they complained about that, they have
moved the boundary fence back and forth and nearly killed one of our
favourite roses due to it, then when Nick put posts up to grow grapes
and hops on that boundary fence with wires, they complained about that
(even though it was built to stop their child bouncing on his trampoline
and shouting into our garden) ...

And in the meantime, people (not us, afaik) complain at them about them
letting their dogs roam about on the common grass in front of the house
and crap everywhere ...

Vicky, I can see the beginnings of a new "Soap" here! You could write
a script and add new happenings each week. What a dreadful neighbour
to have. I do sympathise. With that sort of person you just can't
win.
