Dan Walker sparks outrage as he calls out neighbours for ‘crossing the line’ – and fans rage ‘just plain rude!’
DAN Walker sparked outrage online as he called out his neighbours for ”crossing the line’.
The presenter is usually busy either presenting a breakfast radio show, or appearing on Channel 5 with the latest headlines.
However, it appears 47-year-old Dan has more worries closer to home as he’s been seemingly caught up in a new row with some nearby residents.
The former BBC Breakfast personality took to social media to share his anger alongside a picture of a dirty-looking skip.
He revealed his home is undergoing renovations, but his neighbours also used it to dispose of some unwanted materials without his permission.
The large metal container was piled high with large objects that were not his own including old fence panels and even a toilet basin!
In a long rant, Dan fumed: “I’m aware there are far more important things going on in the world but… are there accepted boundaries when it comes to other people’s skips?
“My dad always taught us that, if you want to pop something in someone else’s skip, you wait a few days and then you go and ask if they have any space left and they mind.
“We had one this week, right outside the house, while we had some work done.
“Everyday there has been loads of new stuff in there – a toilet, fence posts, kitchen cupboards, bin bags etc – and no-one has asked!
He added: “What do you think? Maybe I’m being an idiot”
However, it seems most of his 799,400 followers were in complete agreement as they flooded with his profile with angry comments.
“That winds me up no end,” remarked one fan.
A second raged: “Very rude, it’s something someone else has paid for. You just don’t do that, but it seems the ferels do. Pity you don’t know who did it. You could return the loo to their porch.”
Whilst a third noted: “Your father was right. The last time I had a skip I set up a camera and if someone asked then I let them, if not then I returned the rubbish back to them.”
A fourth remarked: “The old ways you speak of are in fact dead (sadly). Decorum & decency have long since departed the West.”
“No, I’m with you – very rude”, said a fifth user as they added, “Manners cost nothing.”
And a sixth chimed in: “Your Dad is spot on. He’s paid for it, they shouldn’t get to dump rubbish without his permission. No different to them sticking it in his wheelie bin.
They also exclaimed: “Just plain rude.”
