My neighbour has a tall chimney (for a wood burning stove) with a supporting cable, but only one.* Obviously the wind doesn't always come from that direction (in fact the cable is to the SE of the chimney, and the prevailing wind here is SW).* Same

Did it ever occur to you to ask your neighbor?


A) It's a weird thing to go round and ask.


Seems you are afraid of him.* Why?


B) Nobody likes him.


Why the hate?


C) He's my neighbour, not my neighbor.
