Neighbors sue flooded-out family

A British family forced to live in a trailer after their home flooded is being sued by neighbors who claim the temporary living quarters ruined the view.
Michael Burton and Sarah Jagger say their $6,800 lawsuit against Steve and Michelle Tyson and their insurance company, Nationwide, is nothing personal, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.
We are not nasty people,
Jagger told the Telegraph.
The Tysons deny they agreed to compensate Burton and Jagger for interfering with the views, light and privacy when Nationwide had the trailer moved in after severe flooding in Hull, England, in June 2007.
The trailer was removed last November after the Tysons moved into their newly repaired home. The Tysons say Burton and Jagger also suffered flood damage and, therefore, know what the Tysons have been through.
After the floods, everyone was in the same boat,
Michelle Tyson told the Telegraph. I even made tea for Michael when he was having repairs done to his house.
