OK, my neighbours blew it!

My neighbours are incapable of speaking in normal tones for some reason. I eventually went out to find they were "pruning" two of my trees by gettting on a ladder and leaning over my fence. Yes, they are entitled to remove branches if they are over their side, but these were twigs and they've hacked and massacred my tree which was just coming into fruit by taking out half of the three trunks, which they are not allowed to do. Reducing the height is not allowed. I said "what do you think you are doing? stop it at once." Needless to say, they didn't. So I said "if you continue you might regret this.." They continued. They have really damaged my tree and I use the fruit to make wine. Plus they threw the remains over their back wall into the plot one of my neighbour owns. Next stop my solicitor to get the end of their wall out of my garden. I was hoping to avoid this but I am so livid now that I am prepared to spend money I was hoping would keep me going until the middle of next year. It will take me a few days to write out the history and drawings to present to my solicitor but they've gone too far this time. I've never had such bad neighbours ever. All that blackmail about not allowing my car out etc, forcing me to get a block kerb in and now this. I wanted to push him off his ladder when he was ruining my tree but decided against it. It would not help my case, would it? Tweed That's disgusting behaviour!!! Before you go to the solicitor, have a word with the neighbour at the bottom of their garden, (the one who got the branches thrown in his garden.)to see if he would back you up (I'll bet he's having trouble with them too)and maybe you could share the costs. It might have more effect on these bullying thugs the more neighbours were involved in action against them. It's not as easy as that. One upon a time when my nice neighbours lived there, they had a long garden like mine. Then the house and land was sold to a builder, who sold the house for refurbishment, along with a bit of land to the back, leaving the rest of the garden parallel to mine to keep for himself for some future use. That's where they've thrown it - over their back wall. Although I know him quite well, I doubt he would care, although he did note last time he came to see about the fallen willow tree that he thought they'd built their wall a foot or so further back than the land he sold them. That's how it's done. A foot or so at a time. |

Tweed I think you did very well in resisting, I'm not sure I'd have been able to. I am only human and I very nearly did it. So nearly , so nearly. btw if my husband had been still alive my neighbour would have been off that ladder in a moment and getting a Geordie kiss. I was his princess. A Geordie kiss is a headbutt that is likely to break your nose and/or knock you down,. Good luck with legal proceedings, sue him for all he's got. I'm going to try. Tweed |

I'm going to tell him what a "Geordie kiss" is, LOL. -- Joyce A conservative is one who admires radicals centuries after they're dead. -- Leo Rosten |
