Is your hot tub annoying people?

A lot of the time neighbours can be brilliant. Who else will lend you an egg at 7 o’clock on a Sunday evening when all the shops are closed?

But other times the behaviour of particular neighbours can be less than desirable, especially if they are having late-night raucous parties and causing frustration to other residents on the area.

However, a new report carried out by BBC Gardner’s World magazine has revealed that late-night gatherings are not the only biggest neighbourly irritant – hot tubs are driving people crazy!

Not only does the bubbling sound annoy residents, but the tubs also have a tendency to encourage neighbours to have a noisy evening dip.

 Popular models seat up to five people, and it is thought that sellers have experienced an increase in sales this summer due to the poor weather.

Also high up on the list of irritants are cats, bright security lights and barbeque smoke, meaning that it is probably very difficult to be the perfect neighbour.

 I’ll add another irritation to that list – revving engines and slamming car doors in the early hours of the morning!
