Page 1 of Is respect dead???

I ask this question because my twat of a next door neighbour this morning had our communial garden fence ripped up to be replaced by a higher one...without bothering to ask my permission!

I sadly believe respect has been replaced by total ignorance!!!

I`m looking to do that in our back garden soon, but I wouldn`t think of doing it without consulting the neighbours first. look`s like you`ve got a real git there

F*** him - if its higher at least you don`t have to look at the bastard!

You should burn your side down ;)

Sad to say I agree .. respect appears to be dying...

Having listened to Radio 2 today about the "lollipop ladies / men" who get abuse for helping children cross the road ... I begin to wonder where we are going....

Only recently our next door neighbours kids came running into our garden knocking on the window.. messing around.... we know them fairly well... but I can`t help thinking that I would never have done that when I was a kid (I`m 35)....

I even started to tell my kids that "when I was a lad" you would never just run into a garden.. event to get your ball back... you`d pass the ball walk up the path and knock on the door!!!

And.. while I`m typing..... how many times do my kids stop and let old folk past and they don`t have the manners to say thankyou... or I see the local vicars kids p*ssing around in the the church yard in the Garden of Rememberance...... I pride myself on making sure my kids have respect for certain things.... Maners.. no p*ssing around in the church (running over graves... and no I`m not a God botherer.. infact the Jovies took their free book back from me!!!!)....

Anyway.. where was I ... oh yes.. Respect is a dying art....

do they know its a shared fence? its not always clear when people buy houses or rent them.

mmm chocolate

IIRC, you`re responsible for the fence to the left of your property. It would be courteous to ask you first, but in my experience it`s a case of first gets fed up of the old fence puts up a new one.

I came into this thread hoping for a philosophical discussion about respect (a word that is totally misused these days).

Silly me.

Why don`t you just rip it down and replace it with a shorter one?

:D at mikeyblue!


Did you talk to these neighbours much anyway?

why take life so seriously..its not like you are going to make it out alive

No problem when they help children across, but when they are stopping traffic to let teachers, parents and random people cross too.. Well that really irritates me, as traffic is slow enough in the morning as it is.
