Extracts from letters written to local councils in Britain:
1. It's the dogs mess that I find hard to swallow.
2. I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt
my knob off.
3. I wish to complain that my father twisted his ankle very badly when
he put his foot in the hole in his back passage.
4. Their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.
5. I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet
roof. I think it was bad wind the other day that blew them off.
6. My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?
7. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.
8. Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife
tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant.
9. I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.
10. 50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster, and 50% are
just plain filthy.
11. I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawer.
12. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.
13. Will you please send a man to look at my water, it's a funny
colour and not fit to drink.
14. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and now is in three pieces.
15. I want to complain about the farmer across the road. Every morning
at 6am his cock wakes me up and it's 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 two 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 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 the clerk of works down on the floor six times but I
still have no satisfaction.
21. This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broke and we
can't get BBC2.
22. My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage
has fungus growing in it.

can't take it anymore
