As the summer (hopefully) approaches, many of us begin to dread the increasing levels of disruption from a Neighbour From Hell that often accompanies the rising summer temperatures and longer daylight-filled days. Nuisance neighbours often up the ante over the summer as somehow they believe they ‘own’ the right to make more noise, increased disturbances and generally become more abusive when the days become longer and hotter.

We’re not being killjoys, but in our experience the level of neighbour nuisance that NFHiB members can experience during the summer period is markedly higher and also of course during the festive periods (e.g. Easter, Christmas). Our advice is to keep cool, stay in the shade, don't respond ('ignore, ignore, ignore!) to deliberate neighbour goads and visit us for coping mechanisms based on our combined, extensive experience.

Personally we feel that Neighbours From Hell should be put into the deep freeze over the summer months. Well, maybe not literally (close those freezer doors now will you?!), but in an ideal world, shipping your neighbour off to Iceland over the summer months would certainly help cool things down for all of us!

Don't despair, ever. The NFHiB Forum is always there (access using your Computer or PC), 24/7 - free, ready and waiting, to offer you solace from your NFH come rain or shine all the way down the long, winding road you may tread.
