The Things People Do!!

[Smowball]

I’ve got up this morning and during the night someone has dumped a huge solid concrete block on our gravel driveway! They’ve literally come onto our drive and just dumped it there. I can’t even budge it, it’s so heavy. Just why??

[Rosie29]

That's horrible Smo - there is no reason - just laziness. Disgraceful.

[naomi24]

Crikey! You do lead an eventful life! What are you going to do?

[Tilly2]

Is it blocking your driveway at the moment or do you have a bit of time to deal with it?

[Smowball]

It’s to the side of the car so should be able to get car out - I just don’t know what I’m meant to do with it??

[Smowball]

If I wasn’t so angry I’d laugh.......you couldn’t make it up.

[Tilly2]

What has Mr Smo said?

[Togo]

It was very windy last night ... You don't suppose it was blown there?

[Smowball]

Mr Smo just looked in disbelief.
No not the wind - I honestly can’t even move it an inch.

[naomi24]

Why did you try to move it if Mr Smo was there?

[Tilly2]

Mr Smo sounds like Mr T...leaves me to deal with everything! :-)

[Smowball]

I spotted it before he did and he has a really bad back at the mo so there is no way he will be able to. There must be someone I can ring.....

[ladybirder]

Have any nearby neighbours got CCTV footage?

[Smowball]

Oh am not sure - I can try and find out.

[emmie]

you have to ring the council, see what they can do.

[ladybirder]

What an odd thing to do. Dumping on a piece of waste land or in the country seems to be de rigueur but on someone's drive? I'd be suspicious it's someone who lives nearby.

[douglas9401]

Does it look like a complete thing or just a chip off the old block?

[emmie]

ring the council, they do deal with dumping of materials. no one can expect you to move it

[windywillow]

Did it have a message tied to it? You know, like the 'horse's head in the bed' scenario? :0)

[emmie]

tell them it's blocking your vehicles in, even if it isn't

[Togo]

That is why I asked if it was because of the wind Douglas ... thought it might be a big breeze block. Maybe Amazon delivered it to the wrong address.
