Ok, final one from me, and then I'm off to enjoy the global warming. Here are my issues: 1. Nigello made an assumption of guilt on our part, and left a note that could be construed as being aggressive. I can't remember it word for word as I threw it straight into (our) recycling bin. But it was 2x longer than what Nigello claims above. 2. It's true that we weren't up when Nigello came round, so I can understand why he didn't knock. I can also understand why people wouldn't want to do this - you don't know who's going to open the door. Nigello wasn't to know that we are lovely and make a cracking brew. But I struggle to believe that the note was written once Nigello realised we weren't up- it was surely written before, so the intention was not to talk to us. But again, I can understand the train of thought. But you have to understand the impact of receiving an anonymous, aggressive message, when you know they know both your name and address. Much like you don't know who will open the door, we have no idea who left the message. You are, I am sure, lovely too. 3. Like many ED houses, we share an entrance with our lovely neighbour. So this was left on their doorstep too, and could have coloured their opinion of us (we've spoken and luckily it doesn't). But also, this is a potentially aggressive note left on their doorstep. 4. This is the big one. Nigello then came on the forum bragging about what he'd done, with the heading "bang to rights", when it was nothing of the sort. If I hadn't become aware of this thread, the accusation would have gone unchecked - indeed, the first 2 replies were "name and shame" and "nice work". 5. Nigello reported us to the council with no basis for guilt. By the by, we havent heard anything from the council yet, but that's probably a debate for another day. But it genuinely would take us/our cleaner 5 minutes longer to leave the bag where it was found, rather than just drop it in our bin. So that's me done. Seriously, we are lovely. And we make a sensational cup of tea. Dunstans Chap.

I just want to make sure that Nigello doesn't get tainted with a certain brush. There weren't any threats in his/her message to us. I don't want anyone to think that. BUT WHEN SOME OF THE SENTENCES ARE IN CAPITALS AND UNDERLINED, THEY SEEM MORE AGGRESSIVE, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHO WROTE IT. See? Ps fly tipping really annoys me too.

Your message was more than that, and you know it. Enough to worry my fianc?e (apologies for previous incorrect spelling). Anyway, all friends now.

Hi there I think this is my rubbish we're talking about here. We were mortified to find our rubbish had ended up in the street, and can't for the life of us work out how it happened. As per the suggestions above, we asked our cleaner but she denied all knowledge. Our bin is a few steps from our front door, so it would have been significantly more effort for her or us to drop it a few streets away. I've actually reported people myself for fly tipping rubbish in our and other neighbours bins in the past - but not before going to speak to the culprit first (they'd mived out). You would know all this had you spoken to us rather than leave an aggressive message on our doorstep. We'd have made you a cup of tea. As it was, my fianc? actually felt a bit threatened, as we have no idea who left the note (but they obviously know where we live). Anyway, thought I'd chip in. Cheers.
