O/T people sitting on garden wall. advice needed
ignore em, when they realise their bugging you they do it even more for no
reason. if they think your not annoyed by it they go elsewhere to annoy others. worked for me and my wall and local idiots. "oo" wrote in message ... Hi I know people on these groups are full of ideas and are very resourceful. I have been looking for a solution to my problem on the net. Basically youths won't stop sitting on my garden wall, despite my repeated requests and threats they continue to sit there. Basically they are noisy and wil eventually weaken the structure of the wall. I was wondering if any of you have any practical solutions? (apart from barb wire, glass on the wall or using a baseball bat on their knees etc lol) I would appreciate sensible and legal solutions... Oh yeah and theres no point moaning to their parents or police - thats useless. Any advice appreciated as its driving me nuts, having to constantly chase the brats. lol Thanks. |

Let's not get into an argument here .... but .... did you not see the 80) at
the end of my post [twas tongue in cheek] - I always snip out the previous post where I can [where I think it is obvious] I like to think I help keep posts [mines anyway] clutter free, way too many times do I have to scroll down 6 or 7 pages to read what someone had to say. I hope you managed to get rid ofyour cats diarrhoea, don't want that hanging about the house 8O) [smiley] Kolonel Kurtz |

It is presumptious of you to think that I can be bothered to look back into older postings on the off chance that I might be able to disentangle what you are referring to. Franz |

It seems to me that it's important for you to look in the mirror and sort out your own motives before trying to do something about this. If perchance the real issue is simple annoyance ("it's *my* wall they're sitting on!"), then among the reasonable remedies is "learning to put up with something you don't like and can't do much about." It's that sort of attitude that ensures these kiddies continue to get away with harassing people. |

Sorry, I don't know how to snip messages! I have a problem with cats using
my flower bed as a toilet. I have put down all the stuff you can buy to keep them away, but nothing works. I love cats, although I don't have one so I don't want to harm them. I am sick of digging it up all the time, and it stinks when its warm. Any suggestions? "Powerball3" wrote in message ...
