OK, So what on earth did this to my fence?

This is rural Suffolk of which you speak...

There's no angry sheep in these parts...

Only angry vegetables (& their crops)...

It was Graham Norton.

No, it was an iron bar..

[redtwin]

The metal has a "memory" and when the fence was damaged by the range rover the bar was no longer held in tension and repeated heating and cooling (summer, winter etc) over the years has caused it to curl.

A bit like a spring that has been unwound. I know the fence isn't a spring but maybe that bar was once coiled after being drawn at the foundry.

Would need to be 'mapped' to bend that bar!

[Disco_Dale]

A tree grew through the fence and did that, then it got cut/blown down and taken away for firewood.

It's still more plausable than "aliens did it"

Chuck Norris was passing and needed to replace a shoelace.

it's not foam you know, it's 1" dia steel !

i would definitely blame aliens
- look at their brain for psychic powers

[otolith]

I wonder if a lightning strike could do that sort of damage?

Weirdly I've seen another of that type of fence with exactly the same thing done to it elsewhere!

Me too....perhaps making the 'metal memory' theory a realistic one??

Only problem with that is, who the hell uncurls it to use for fencing?

Yes this theory seems the most realistic. I did it in science once.

Why do you have to ruin EVERYTHING?!!

Maybe it was a rogue fragment from this helped a bit by space aliens, of course.
