I have always admired next door’s conservatory. I want one just like it, but they’re expensive and I am broke. So I have decided to take theirs.
Obviously it’s not a simple matter of driving a truck through the fence and pulling the conservatory off the side of their house. For a start it would ruin my fence (which is almost new). Then there is a possibility that they’d notice, especially if they were sitting in it at the time.
So, like an evil chicken, I have hatched a more cunning plan: I am dismantling the conservatory three bricks at a time and rebuilding it on the end of my own house.
At this rate it’ll take seven months to complete the transfer (theft is such a dirty word), but I’m hoping that because the deconstruction is so gradual, by the time it’s completed they’ll have forgotten they ever had a conservatory in the first place.
Quit pussy footing around, just go round there , kick the crap out them and
take what you want.
So much for your cunning plan you wus. If their house is better than yours,
move in. You need to bold and decisive in what you want. But remember, be
nice about it and don't forget to say thank you and it was nice to meet
you. It is always good to be on friendly terms with your neighbour, they
might want to borrow a cup of sugar one day.
