£2500 that was from crystal windows. He wipes it down every day. He told me so.

Does he have a go at the neighbour for parking a white van on the drive?

I did have an idea...

but I think this was too much

Just salt a giant cock and balls in his grass and wait for the grass to die off. It's a little more holistic in its approach than the above.

Until you have an oddball neighbour you just can't imagine the weird st that goes on.

My neighbour is about 25 he doesn't work and never leaves the house, I couldn't tell you what he looked like. Seems to leave the taps running all day for some odd reason and has about 10 dogs which never get walked. Outside of the house is a fking mess, weeds about 3ft high, moss everywhere and most people think it's been abandoned.

It's not my business but since the hot weather on one side there's a fking awful smell when the wind blows which means he doesn't really think taking out bins or recycling is on the agenda.

Landlord is getting his rent and is never up to check the place so doesn't care.

Evening chaps,

I live opposite an old couple. Lived here for 25 years etc and generally mean no harm but are busy bodys.

The chap is out there pruning his garden roughly quicker than it can grow, no harm no foul even if I don’t like his multi coloured light up rockery.

Anyway I’ve only lived here a few months and today I’ve come home to 2 branches of bush thrown in my garden. Theres nothing wrong with the bush, it might be a little bushier than he would like but we have a lot of birds nesting in it so I’m happy to leave it as it is.

CCTV tells me he has been out with another neighbour making aggressive gestures at my bush (no sound unfortunately) hehe

So i’m up for a little neighborhood love. Shall I tell him to get fked and don’t cut my bush? Go and cut some of his? Any other humorous suggestions on a postcard.

I see the 2 branches as a passive aggressive, this is what is going to happen type ransom note.
What a curious post.

If your branches of your shrubbery are growing on his side of the boundary, he is entitled to cut them off and he should return them to you.

That would seem to be what he has done.

There are 7 pages in this thread and you've clearly only read the original post and nothing else.

Bang out of order OP.

Personally I’d cut the entire tree off and throw it over your fence given the obstruction it’s causing.

Are you sure your boundary isn’t the fence and irrespective why would you be so inconsiderate as to allow it to protrude so far over a shared access road?

Well, yes, you are right.

I did only read the first page. Was my reply not relevant?

I'm not sure which is sadder, people filming neighbours whilst gardening or me commenting on the thread.

Ah, old people. The joys.

The fact he's hiding, he knows he's done wrong. So the best thing you can do is let St.Peter and/or Paul to give him ten lashes of the whip when he crocks it in a few months time.

Life's too short to argue over bushes.

That bush is an ugly abortion of a thing. Chop it down and maybe get on a bit better with the old guy.

'fraid not, not even slightly!

For a start, the bush in question is on the opposite side of the road to the strange neighbour's house, apparently on the OP's land.

But read the thread, it's worth it for amusement value smile
