Just looking for neutral reaction.
I was on the phone to my mother today when the neighbour behind them called in. He was complaining that my dad was inconsiderate mowing the back garden at 3pm on a sunday. He was quite aggressive and said he would report it. My mam was quite taken aback and apologised. He went onto say that he wouldn't mind mornings during the week. However my dad doesn't do this as one of the neighbours is terminally ill so he doesn't want to disturb her. I don't think the first neighbour knows this.
In any event I think it's an overreaction...it would be a good five minute walk to walk round to my parents. The garden is hardly massive so it took 15 mins to mow. It's not like my parents are holding mad parties. They are both in 70s. All have been in estate since 1970.
All I can think of is that the first neighbour is religious...he collects for the church...and might have a thing about working on a sunday?
