Not just if that's a conservation area. The amount you can cut without an FC permit amounts to a couple of average sized trees worth of timber - far less than the area that's been cleared.

see here http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/infd-6dfk86

Of course, the worst they'd get is a fine, but I'd still shop them.

For some reason I've long had a desire to fill a few dozen inflatable sheep with helium and let them go...

On a slight tangent, when housing inspectors make appointments to call to 're-evaluate' the value of my home, is it okay to download the most vile pornography you can possibly find on the web - that would disturb almost everyone - to make big giant posters and decorate every wall so there is no safe direction to turn when they visit?

Bring it on, I say.
My house has been accurately described as resembling an explosion in a fetish shop. In fairness, the middle aged lady did stay long enough to collect the council tax I'd forgotten to pay, but the look of horror on her face and that grew the longer she stayed was worth every penny. The sight of a rather overweight 50 year old sprinting down the garden path to get away once the paperwork was sorted was not a pretty sight.

They have a faux wishing well in the centre of their roundabout drive and a water butt with faux hand pump.... I suspect they have acquired the correct consent.

They also wear comfortable elasticated beige clothes.

Will check though - just to be sure - thanks!
Sounds like they run a fleet of Passats! yes



Teriffic, harmless plan you have there. Don't you speak to each other at all in your neighbourhood - they could so easily have avoided all the unpleasantness that's coming their way?

Are these the same people who didn't like the 3D neon sign?


You should get an oil burning motorbike like that one from Cheech & Chong, just rev it up and have the fumes go their way.

Host a mass orgy party in your garden.

Set up an air-gun firing rang where the fallout lands in the woods there.

Sorted.

Backpackers resort solely for Australians?

Or is that a bit to cruel?

And you've just filled your own garden with Australian backpackers?

I'm not too keen on the idea of lots of "naturists" wandering about the place either for that matter. Worse still it could backfire and they might join in!

Hmm. Valid points

I think this is one of those rare times when the orgiinal idea was the best

Yeah, just buy the doll and you can always put it away when you've finished with it.

I hate people who do this sort of thing without even running it by their neighbours, ignorring their ghastly taste, it's so thoughtless and selfish.

Anyway, you can't just go around chopping down trees, fk with a TPO at your peril. I would definitely invistigate matters with the local authority. It could be that they'll be wearing beige elasticated slacks only covered with arrows. Oh, and the fines can be swingeing too.

Other than that, there's plenty of ways to ensure they regret their actions, how about inviting the local devil worshippers to a week long festival in your garden.

Assuming you are serious in your question, then take care over exactly how vile you make the porn! biggrin

New laws introduced in January make various sorts of "extreme" images illegal, even if the act itself is perfectly within the law. Take a look here to make sure you porn wallpaper stays within the limits of the new law, then go for it!

Just to increase the impact somewhat, may I suggest that instead of having pure porn, you intersperse it with either a fluffy kitten or a Catholic saint every tenth image or so?

Oh I have a Masters in being annoying. So does Mr PK....

Your post is the crux of the matter... as you can see from the aerial photo, they have chopped a huge piece of woodland up, the woodland 'wraps' around our garden - they didn't pop round to discuss or offer any solution to minimise the impact. Unlike the neighbours on the other side who we do check stuff with each other... just out of courtesy... Last summer's soundtrack was chainsaws... all summer... now instead of the trees providing a natural boundary they have replaced with 6ft high green chicken wire - even a decent fence would go some way to minimising the impact.... we used to look out to a wood.... now it's this manicured lawn terrace system with a teak table chair / brolly set... fine if that's what they want but we don't want to look at it or be aware of them - that's all. We're going to check again with council - think some great points have been made. Thanks.

Oh and Phillipa Hole is waiting to be rescued...



Terrible photo from phone but you get the gist.. last year could see nothing but trees, now they have put up this chicken wire stuff and this pinnacle terrace directly behind our garden.

Phillipa is just our symbol of shock.

It was the mouth see.

If you really want to get the neighbours spluttering on their Cinzano Bianco's, Phillipa should be mounted by a nice black blow-up stud.

Alternatively...

Mr PK wanted to superglue an entire 'group' scene onto the offending table set... from the rubbish photo this is kind of where the yellow flowering shrub is... Whilst I think that would be funny - there is also a serious issue here and vandalism won't help our cause.
