...Neighbours' kids.
Not half as bad as those near WPK and Lou but what's the best way to encourage kids not to play football around your car ? My house is second from the end of the street and opposite it is a patch of grass that I own but is in the deeds as 'for the benefit of the street's residents.' It is particulary unsuited for football as it's a steep slope which leads straight onto my drive or the guy opposite and down a bit. He's told them to keep off his land but they don't much care. They were playing further down the street but have been told off so have relocated to mine and my neighbour's (who is the mother of some of them) grass/drive. Also the parent of a particularly gobby one took great pains to ensure we heard her telling her cherub that the grass is common land where the kids should be playing.
I don't want to be doomed to having 10 6-10 year olds playing football virtually in my front room every night. To be honest it makes me wonder if the parents ever see their children apart from 10 minutes at dinner-time.
How do I get the little sods to give me some peace without falling out with the neighbours ?
Help0r !!
(Yes, I've become a grumpy old fart )
