Neighbour blasted after sending 'snobby' letter - but some defend 'language' complaint

Every neighbourhood is different, as communities often have their own set of ways of doing things.

So when you move somewhere new, it can be important to learn what your neighbours expect of you, if you plan to keep on their good side.

But one neighbour has been blasted online after sending an anonymous letter to a new resident, complaining about their behaviour, as Hull Live reports.

The controversial note sent to a household in Kingswood raised eyebrows after its writer included a "snobby" turn of phrase.

In the letter, the sender complains of overhearing the resident using "disgusting language".

It reads: "I couldn't help but hear the disgusting language that came from your household over the weekend. Polite reminder you are now on Kingswood, one of the best places to live! Not Preston Road!"

Unimpressed by the note, its receiver posted the letter into a community Facebook group, with the caption: "Come home to this letter posted anonymously with a stamp, what a lovely community. Anyone want to own up?"

And several people were quick to express their anger after hearing Preston Road's name being dragged through the dirt.

"What an absolute snob," read one comment.

Another added: "Some sad sad folk, it's Kingswood not Buckingham Palace. And FYI nothing wrong with Preston Road, maybe if they grew up in a community like that they wouldn't be posting anonymous letters. SAD."

The sender's intention was also questioned, with some saying people should be free to say what they like in their own property.

"Won't be allowed to f**t next. Never knew Kingswood was as posh as Buckingham Palace. Whoever wrote the letter needs to get a grip," a resident said.

But others backed up the letter's complaint, even if they disagreed with the way it was expressed.

"Don't agree with anonymous letter at all... however if it was my neighbours I would just politely ask them to watch their language (if loud and outside" as I have a young child that I wouldn't want hearing it," one person wrote.

A second added: ""Maybe mindful about your language, not everyone appreciates hearing it."
