Embarrassed? No, I'm rather proud. This could only be Britain, surely?

Cant really get embarressed, wasnt me or mine doing it, thought it is rather amusing.
The most amusing story l know of concernoing those awful trees wasan ex neighbour.. The people who lived in my house before me had them planted at the bottom of the garden. They grew to a silly height cutting out all the sun, so one day when they were away on a trip the neighbour whose light was being blocked took a chain saw to them. Only he wasnt much cop with it and ended up squashing his own greenhouse and damaging 3 sets of fences. When the owners of the trees returned he tried to get away with it by saying there had been a freak storm, which only affected 4 houses! Needless to say he wasnt believed and the police were called. But hey it got rid of the trees...:wah:

I can't believe the national government finds it necessary to legislate neighbourliness. :yh_doh

Surely they don't arrest the local pooches too for doing their thing?

What's embarrassing, the fact that he peed up the trees,
or that he was prosecuted for criminal damage?

I can't believe the national government finds it necessary to legislate neighbourliness.
They're not legislating neighbourliness just giving local authorities the power to deal with an inconsu=iderate B$%^^$%$%D that refuses to trim their tees. I've got one of those things 15ft from my back window and the whole garden in shade in the afternoon. My neighbour keeps promising to trim it and does every now and then. The rest of his bushes hedge I cut back from my side so they dpn't overhang my garden-each year it is about three carloads to the dump.
I have another neighbour whose house was kept in shade by one of these hedges 20ft plus, to the extent his wondows rooted with the damp, despite numerous requests the neighbour, whose hedge it was, refused to cut it back. Eventually he hired a chain saw and did it for him. but not everyone has the nerve to that that or in this case is physically big enough not to feel threatened by an inconsiderate aggressive neighbour.
