Dont know what to do...

[allotmentlady]

Most of you are aware of the probs that i have been having with the old git on the allotments.....its getting worse......DH took me to lottie today just for some gentle weeding, feeling slightly tender with a temp but it was good to get out. Old git arrives and his wife calls my son a wa***r, we are called thieves in the night and old sl**s because we move OUR stuff off when he is not around. TODAY he arrives with an army and puts up pallets nailed into the new gate that I made for ourselves to make our life easier...

I have reported him to lottie officer but she keeps saying that she cannot get involved! We are being harrassed, intimidated and i really dont know what to do! DH wants to yell back and rip pallet up but what good is that going to do? i dont stoop that low but DH says maybe i SHOULD.....

A nice afternoon turned horrid and i am sat ere with a high temp feeling carppy......any advice?

What have you got left on the old lottie hon?

[allotmentlady]

raspberries, 2 apple trees, 1 victoria plum tree, 3 blackcurrant bushes and my toms in greenhouse

[zazen999]

And the greenhouse - obviously.

I'd just get the lot off there as soon as you can - I know you aren't well and that isn't helping but your better off getting it off and planted up now [it's not like it is summer anyway].....and risk the fruit not ripening this year than losing the lot to the old fart.

[allotmentlady]

Yeah ur right, we will move fruit tomorrow and trees....had enough think i will list greenhouse on ebay...

[Glutton4...]

FFS Mo that's awful - if I were nearer I'd pull his bleeping pallets down and wrap 'em round his bleeping ears!

Just take what's yours (including the gate) and leave 'em to it, save yourself the aggro, after all you don't need this really do you? You should be concentrating your energy on getting well hun.

[zazen999]

That's a good idea, then they can come and dismantle it....warm them about the crazy guy who thinks it is his plot though....perhaps a Grape might want it????

[allotmentlady]

i am thinking of having a leaving do party onnit, sometime september !

[di]

I really don't know what to suggest Hun...other than get what's yours ASAP!
What horrid peeps!
Much as in my mind I'd like to stand up to them,in reality I'd probably opt for the easier option of going up when I was sure they wouldn't be there.

Sorry you are leaving your allotment....but isnt it the Allotment Officers Job!

[zazen999]

Problem is, every time Mo goes up there - someone on the site calls him and tells him. So he rushes down and starts on her.

[allotmentlady]

YES EVERY TIME.....nog i am not leaving my lottie moved onto another, long story,,,i aint got any energy to explain

[HeyWayne]

If you were nearer I'd borrow you a big 6ft 7 18 st lump of a lad!

I can do intimidating if pushed to it!

Numpty!

Feed me a couple of glasses of vino agro and point me in his direction...

In all seriousness it sounds like moving off is teh best idea.

R-sole.

[zazen999]

Where's Stephen with a P when you need him [or is it PH]......Can he pop over and give you some moral support with your OH?

[SarzWix]

Hun, I dunno what the solution is, but, ((((hugs)))), I'm really sorry you're having to go through this extra sh*te

If you have receipts for all the stuff that you want to take off the allotment, mebbe a police presence would help? Have you called the community policing team? They might be able to help if you're getting verbal abuse. I dunno, worth a try mebbe.
