These are genuine clips from British Council flat tenants complaining to the Council about problems with their flats:
* My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back
passage has fungus growing in it.
* He's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I
just can't take it anymore.
* It's the dogs' mess that I find hard to swallow.
* I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and
burnt my knob off.
* I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly
when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage.
* And their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls
against my fence.
* 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.
* My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?
* I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from
the wall.
* Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife
tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant.
* I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen
* 50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and 50%
are plain filthy.
* I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.
* The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it
is cleared.
* Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny
colour and not fit to drink.
* Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three
pieces.
* I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every
morning at 6am his c o c k wakes me up and it's now getting too much for me.
* The man next door has a large erection in the back garden,
which is unsightly and dangerous.
* Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like
a third so please send someone round to do something about it.
* I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you
please do something about the noise made by the man on top of me every
night.
* Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and
satisfy my wife.
* I have had the clerk of works down on the floor six times but
I still have no satisfaction.
* This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broke and we
can't get BBC2
