Making an A-Frame for my tomatoes, grumpy old man

[suityou01]

This was my plan. A nice project to fulfil my evening, while supping a pint of bombadier. Timber purchased, along with hinges, nuts and bolts.

I started last night, at 7:30pm so the kids would be in bed and wouldn't get under my feet. Except next door's kids were still up.

3 noses over fence "What ya doing suity?"

"I'm building an a-frame for my tomatoes"

"What's an a-frame"

Mutters then explains.

Rinse and repeat 3 times (5 mins in between)

Then the youngest one starts this ear piercing screech as he's not getting his way. My brain freezes during a trig calculation trying to work an angle out.

I pack away thinking next doors kids must be feral.

So today I start at 4:30pm thinking my kids would keep their kids entertained and off my back. It worked like a charm.

Instead their dad starts asking what I am doing. And then making comments like, "you can get them at the garden centre you know", "how much did this project cost?"

It went on. More chiding. I am now simmering.

His wife comes home, and says "you alright suity?"

Mutters something polite (ish).

Then SY02 says "you're being a bit grumpy"

Then the other next door neighbour comes out and asks "oooh what ya building?"

20 mins of listening to an update on his OU course.

Then, ........

They all fooked off, and 20 mins of silence later I had finished the thing.

A fascinating insight into how dull poor people living in feral housing estates live. Many thanks, saves me reading about poverty and dullness in deprived parts of the UK in next months National Geographic.

Get yerself a 10 foot high evergreen hedge like round the back of Moorfield Towers. Sorted.

Getting a new 2m high gate put in at the front next week. Might even put a "Chavs Keep Out" sign on it.

That would just encourage the tulips

The question is?

Is Suityou the William Hogarth of the modern day? I mean, long rambling posts about his family, A-Frames, feral children, alcohol.

Is a Suityou thread a 'New Gin Lane'
