Extracts from actual letters sent by tenants to various councils and housing associations: (don't think we have had them all before) 1. I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off. 2. I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage. 3. ....and their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence. 4. I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off. 5. My lavatory seat is cracked. Where do I stand? 6. I am writing on behalf of my sink which is coming away from the wall. 7. Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant. We are getting married in September and we would like it in the garden before we move into the house. 8. I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen. 9. Can you please tell me when the repairs will be done as my wife is about to become an expectant mother....50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and the rest are plain filthy. 10. I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers. 11. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared. 12. Will you please send a man to look at my water. It is a funny colour and not fit to drink. 13. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces. 14. I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6am his cock wakes me up and its now getting too much for me. 16. The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous. 17. Our kitchen floor is damp. We have 2 children and would like a third, so please send someone round to do something about it. 18. I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man I have on top of me every night. 19. Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife. 20. I have had a clerk of the works down on the floor 6 times but I still have no satisfaction. 21. This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broken and we can't get BBC2. 22. My bush is really overgrown around the front and my back passage has fungus growing on it. 23. ....and he's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take anymore. Bob

Robert, You should issue a Government health warning to people before reading this thread. I have laughed so much I am now crying. I have only read half of them. Leaving the rest until I can breath again. It was worth staying in just to read them. Thanks Jean x.
