The boundaries so I could have a bigger garden and use the forgotten wasteland that the neighbours neglect 😉
Oh that’s a good idea, we’ve a bit of wasteland behind us too….

Gaultheria shallon. It spreads by underground stems which form a dense interlocking mat. I need to use my trusty pickaxe to break through and hoick it up a piece at a time.
Another vote for Gaultheria shallon. Evil stuff. Previous owners had the garden planned and planted by ‘professionals’ and covered one of the slopes with the stuff. Wonderful ground cover, including all the ground and pathways you didn’t want covered. Plus the birds love the berries, and then cr*p the seeds round the garden. There are big patches of the stuff coming up under the trees in our woodland. Apparently it is classified as a major pest in Oregon and Washington state, and notoriously difficult to get rid of. I think these must have been the same gardeners who planted the ( very pretty) skunk cabbage in the bog garden!
Well @Gearoid I hope you've got a hard hat in readiness. I am happy with ivy taking over the countryside (which is happening round here), but not in my garden or on the neighbouring fences.

I don’t really know why we need vine weevils in nature either, I always think there a bit like head lice/nits, pointless 😉.
Failure is always an option.
