    These are genuine clips from Barnsley Council Flat tenants complaining to

    the Council about problems with their flats. ????? well perhaps



    My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus

    growing in it.



    He's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take

    it anymore.



    It's the dogs’ mess that I find hard to swallow.



    I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob

    off.



    I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put

    his

    foot in the hole in his back passage.



    And their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my

    fence.



    I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I

    think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off.



    My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?



    I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.



    Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and

    fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant.



    I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.



    50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and 50% are plain

    filthy.



    I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.



    The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.



    Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and

    not

    fit to drink.



    Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.



    I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6.00

    am his **** wakes me up and it's now getting too much for me.



    The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is

    unsightly and dangerous.



    Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third so

    please send someone round to do something about it.



    I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do

    something about the noise made by the man on top of me every night.



    Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my

    wife.



    I have had the clerk of works down on the floor six times but I still have

    no satisfaction.

    genuine clips from Barnsley Council Flat tenants?

    I've seen them as
    "genuine Yorkshire Housing association tenants" as well as various councils.

    Suspect teh vast majority are made up, but funny nevertheless

    What's wrong with . . .

    . . . "50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and 50% are plain filthy"?

    RE: Too many 50%'s, shirley?

    But they're not mutually exclusive options. For example, the 50% with damp could also have crumbling plaster (in fact it's quite likely from my experience).

    I just wanted to say "shirley" instead of "surely"

    Maybe you're right.

    Say, for example, you have 4 walls.

    Walls 1 and 2 have crumbling plaster
    Walls 2 and 3 have damp
    Walls 3 and 4 are filthy
