Here's a point for discussion. A friend has a neighbour who, in his back garden has seen fit to install a toilet which works on some eco principle or other too arcane for the average man. (it's basically a long drop in a little shed surrounded by shrubs which allegedly "suck up" and/or "neutralise" the effluent.) It's in daily use by at least three people (not the neighbour himself, "long term guests" allegedly - the kind that do work around the place in return for no-questions-asked lodging and the occasional lift to the dole office) and has obviously built up a backlog (ie heap) of "product". OK. It smells. There are mega rats running about in my friends garden. It isn't nice at all. My poor friend, having had a mildly unpleasant experience once before with his neighbour, is loth to confront him. (said neighbour is unfortunately a bully and an arrogant s*d).
What's to do? Neighbour disputes aren't nice, but then neither is a pile of human poo 20 feet from your kitchen window. Anyone have any elegant and constructive solutions? I'm a bit at a loss as to what to advise my friend - except for the usual "have a friendly discussion with next door" type advice. (not likely to be very helpful I'm afraid)
I'd appreciate your help on this. Thanks, Nat.
