Mustn't feed the birds!
Another snippet from my gardening mag."A shocked couple have been threatened with eviction from their home of 42 years - for feeding the birds in their garden.
The elderly couple have been feeding the wild birds in Hickling, Norfolk, for over four decades".
Now the housing trust have ordered them to stop because of damage caused to nearby cars!! (I wondered if the birds had been slashing tyres or stealing cars . . .)?
The couple have been told they face prosecution or even eviction and the letter was headed 'Anti-social behaviour case.'
The anti-social behaviour Officer wrote "This behaviour is attracting birds which cause damage to vehicles in the area."
The old couple said " Our lives would be bare without the birds. We have always fed them, because we love wildlife."
Now the Housing Trust spokesman said the issue had been investigated and the case was now closed, and the old gentleman should have no more concerns about feeding his birds.
What a load of tosh. Why upset the old couple before they had even investigated? What a ridiculous exercise in wasting time and money yet again by idiot pen-pushers.
