I love living in the bush. Nearest neighbor is 500 yards away and when I do see him all he says is I'll get the whiskey. Hes about 80 and i was cutting wood one day and took him a trailer load and he brought out the whiskey and we proceeded to drink nearly 3 bottles (between 4) none of us could walk, dearest wood he'd ever bought I reckon. Have had my fair share of bad neighbors when I lived in town. Council get to know the serial whingers and don't take any notice after a while. Best way to handle these people is just say hello and when they whine say I'll get onto that, and do nothing.
