    That should be 45 degrees, not %, one is in the border, the other one on the lawn.
  • Of course, as it is your fence, they won't be entitled to grow anything up it, will they?!
    They'll have to put their own up if they want to do that!

    Whenever I was in a similar situation I would show myself this.
    there are times when you just have to say ‘sod ‘m all!

    Buttercupdays, they only grow weeds!
  • @Nanny Beach  As it's their fence send them a bill if they don't pay threaten them with the small claims court.
    My moan today is trivial by comparison, went to Halfords they did not have what I wanted in stock, went next door to Wickes they didn't have what I needed in stock either, wasted over an hour of good Allotment time on that round trip!

    The Turner Prize exhibition was what you'd expect - only worse. Serves me right for not checking it out beforehand*.
    The food in the Tate cafe looked good but a tad overpriced, but the sandwich from round the corner was fine.
    *it's a bit disturbing when a curmudgeon starts to accept some of the blame :o
    Unfortunately nothing on the Victoria omnibus to report. People were polite, helpful, weren't eating bits of bird from a box or yelling into their phones. I blame it on the unseasonably warm autumn weather.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Allotment Boy my eldest said give them a bill, my hubby wouldnt do that, (he suffers with severe depression and complex mental stuff) you have to be very carefull about disputes with neighbours getting out of hand, ironically, we always seem to have had really nice neighbours one side, and problems with the other, some of my neighbours from over 40 years ago, we are still friendly.   Plus of course, if you get into legal stuff with your neighbours, you have to declare it if you ever sell.  Hubby went to work and had a rant with his mates, who were agast.

    Can beat hat Allotment Boy, we checked up on Wickes site for the fence we bought said I forget how many in stock, lots we anted 4, got there, nd where was it, find that a lot with B & Q and Homebase as well.   Wanted a drill for Hubby a couple of years back in B & Q went on the Wednesday with my diamond card, site said 16 in stock, got there, NOT ONE, bloke on the floor said they must have been stolen!!!
  • @Nanny Beach Yes what ever happened to the much vaunted automatic stock updates that all those barcodes were supposed to give us.

    I'm UBER grumpy. My flippin' mower!!!!!
    Now the transmition belt has either come off , or snapped. It couldn't be further from the house so it's going to have to be towed up to the house to establish the problem before he can even really start on it.
    DON'T ANYONE EVER BUY A JOHN DEERE MOWER. THEY'RE SH*T.
