Hi everyone and thank you so much for your replies/advice. I only have a few regulars that visit, and (although I cannot be 100% certain), I pretty much know that they wouldn't "drop me in it", as they really are lovely guys. Also, how would they benefit? The situation has actually escalated this morning and I'm in tears and am even considering cancelling my bookings. As I was walking through the front door, another lady approached me (I've seen her before in passing just to say hello to - really, really lovely lady). Anyhow, she introduced herself and said that she owns a cafe in town (just a few yards from my property). She said that my next door but one neighbour (the one who confronted me), actually went into her cafe yesterday afternoon and said, quite loudly, "did you know that there's a prostitute working a few yards away from here." She said that her response to her was "why would you say that? do you have evidence, and so what if she is, what is it to do with you?" She then went on to say that she says men coming and going, and also said "why would the blinds always be drawn?" FFSAKE! If she took note of all the other properties on the street, she would see that ALL the residents have their curtains drawn or blinds down, as the properties are directly facing the street! I know what I do isn't illegal, but no one knows what I do, and I'd really like it to stay that way. Anyhow, I suppose it looks like I may have to find somewhere else, but not happy as just signed a six month lease X
