I found the tree story quite funny,but I wish birdsong was the only problem I had with my neighbours.We live in council properties,my neighbours have learning difficulties,so they leave rubbish lying around,we have had rat problems.Their garden is overgrown,their house is a mess.They have net curtains that have never been washed,yet they can hang up lights at Christmas.The council just collect the rubbish every few weeks,they can't use their bins at all.I have to put up with it,as the council can't do anything about it as they have disabilities and can't be upset.
