Default Charvers, breakins, theft and a broken window...

Yes you guessed it, those favourate folks of many on this board over here in the UK are back, and they're in the masonette above mine, with tastes in garage music from 10pm - 4am, braking and entering (next door) theft (again, next door) and lobbing a brick through an elderly lady's window (in this block, just on the other side of the landing.

We've put in for a move with the council as every time we get rid of one lot of em, they give us another lot who are even worse...

The old lady was ok, but she's decided to move to the isle of wight with a friend of hers as she's had enough.

You know its people like them that make being a life loving wiccan very VERY hard.

I'd like to change that sentence (not that I've got anything bad to say about Wiccans - I have some very good friends that are Wiccan)...

You know its people like them that make life very VERY hard.

I've had bother with idiots like that before, so has tpg. The {bleep}s are everywhere! :-x

Just a thought - have you tried putting a binding on them yet? We had one done for someone and it's worked a treat for 5 years now.

I was going to suggest a spot of controlled arson to get rid of the chavs and stop the council replacing them again, but since its's right above you, best not.

It's sad because poeple like them give people who live in council areas a bad name, why don't they just put all the baddies together and let them fight it out? :-P

@ Vincent
I'd considered it, but tbh I'm too tired mentally to put it all together and it have a proper impact. Besides, part of me is worried that their skulls are that thick that it'd bounce off ;-)

Being a 24/7 carer for the missus is tiring, with a new kiddie its harder, but this on top is just too much to handle and I've noted my health starting to pour down the tubes as a result of their actions (Poor sleep for a couple of weeks will sap anyone, regardless of fitness of being able to properly deal with a situation as it should be dealt with).

I'd phone the police but then I'd probably be the next person on this block to have a break in or the windows done in.

@KennyR LOL!
Funnily enough I have in my posession a copy of the Anarchist's cookbook...

@Robert

They actualy had gathered up most of them in the towerblocks and a few of the nastier estates. Sadly the leases on many of the properties ran out this year, so many of the towerblocks that they were in were knocked down, and they were spread about the place like seeds on the wind.

The council in their ever present wisdom decided it wasn't worth renewing the lease...

@the_leander
how would they know that YOU have called the police?
Can't that be done fully anonymous?

Given that we have on several occations complained directly to them, it wouldn't take much to put two and two together...

rule no#1: don't do that (if you know they are charvers)

but maybe others have complained about it too (or ask them to complain about it, ask half the neighbourhood to complain about 'em, organise anonimously! :-))

Deep down, chavs, neds, scallies (and whatever other names they have) aren't too bad really....

...About six foot down, usually ;-)

First thing the police do when you call them is ask, "Well, did you TALK to them first before calling us?"

So of course, if you didn't, the police won't take you seriously (not that they ever do), and if you did, the chavlings will know it was you who called the police and put dog crap in your letterbox the next day.

You can't reason in a civilised way with people whose only understanding of civilisation is that other people work to let them have 20 kids. Violence is usually the only option. Unfortunately chavs have a lot less to lose than most folk, so...

Kenny pretty much said what I was going to.

This is what happens when a huge section of society decides that thy won't let their children do anything they don't want to, you get uneducated, uncaring and thoughroughly unpleasant people at the end of it.

if it was just the one lad I would probably deal with it in my own way, but with the two of em, and my newborn son, theres just too much at stake for direct action against them. I'm simply not prepaired to risk his safety over this.

With a little luck, we'll be out of here by the 9th or therabouts.

Never thought of that!

It does take a lot of effort, and if you're able to spare it it is worth a shot, but if you're not able to spare it then don't risk making yourself feel worse by going ahead anyway.

That's good to hear. Going to join the lady on the Isle of Wight? ;-)

Hm, well, here in nl, it's really not that way. OUR police understand such, I've seen this on both sides (yup, us scouts are sometimes a bit too enthusiastic, but we still have the decency to stop our noise when there's being complained about it)
You're sure you're not acting on assumptions?
