ASBOs are a great British invention and I'm astounded that your neighbours didn't get there first!
I can slap an ASBO on my dear 75 year old neighbour because she pokes her fire very loudly each morning (it's a solid fuel stove and she shakes the ash ut at about 07:30 every day). The cool thing about ASBOs is that she has no right of appeal and I don't need any of that tedious legal training to enact one. I worked with a legal guy for a while and he gave me the full lowdown on ASBOs and they are like the new, low skill, Swiss Army knife of jursipudence - ASBO your neighbour before they ASBO you!
I could have a stack a foot high for one house on my street alone. Oh, the stories I could tell. And in fact, did in a previous post...
And yes, it's amazing the Yanks didn't come up with this sooner. They're a fairly litigious bunch.
But us Canucks... too mild-mannered.
We already have an equivalent of ASBO in Canada - it's called "winter" and confines us all to house arrest.
Interesting.
nanuk - Good point.
aughra - Imagine how useful one could be in dealing with Aunt Dumbass and EvilNephew. Phwoar!
