Neighbour fumes as 'snobby' note complains about their behaviour

A resident has taken umbrage after receiving an anonymous letter upbraiding them for the 'disgusting language' coming from their home. The letter told them that they were now living in one of the best places to live in Hull and not in their old area.

The note from the neighbour, which was shared on a community Facebook page, read: "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!"

The resident who received the letter and posted its content wrote on the Facebook page: "Come home to this letter posted anonymously with a stamp, what a lovely community. Anyone want to own up?"

The post appeared to have divided people in Kingswood on social media, HullLive reports, with one resident saying: "What an absolute snob." Another said: "What's wrong with Preston Road? I lived there when I was younger (snobs).

Another said: "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."

Another resident was in agreement and said: "Never knew Kingswood was as posh as Buckingham Palace. Whoever wrote the letter needs to get a grip."

Some residents were in agreement with the letter. One person said: "Maybe mindful about your language, not everyone appreciates hearing it."

Another said: "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."
