Odd things your neighbours do?
Discussion
Neighbour moans I cut his hedge hanging over my side and dispose of myself as he likes his privacy and I cut it back to the fence. I don't use my garden a part from letting the dog out...............
He cuts said hedge drops all the cuttings / thorns into my garden so I then have to go hunt for them so do end up in the dogs feet. Started to throw it on his side now f**k him I'm putting the house for sale soon anyway

Our neighbour hates our trees. He has pretty much chopped everything down in his garden and now he is moaning about our stuff. He approached me a few weeks ago and said do I know that one of our conifers is pushing his fence up. I went down the garden and had a look. The trunk of the tree is slightly pushing the bottom slat up a little.
Thing is, his garden and house frontage has been an absolute tip ever since we moved in. We have also had numerous instances where his dogs have got out onto our lawn and s
t everywhere.
The bottom of his garden is full of crap, bits of old metal fencing, junk, rusty old bikes etc. And he comes up to me and moans about a tree that has been there for years and years.
Don't even get me started on the front of his house that has had bits of car engines, car parts, oil patches and all manner of st (even a toilet) piled up for ages. Until very recently, he also had multiple cars and vans which meant he had too many for the driveway. He has changed jobs now, so the van has gone, but he used to park it over the road in-front of someone else's house. That drew some choice comments. 
We have never once complained to him.
He told me he is going to cut the tree down. I said carry on then and just ignored him. He has hated the trees and been vocal about them ever since we moved in. Thing is, the trees were there long before we moved in.
I'm not biting or getting angry with him because I can't be bothered with it. Apart from the tree issue, him and his wife are ok neighbours.

I was at a friends last night. At about 11pm when we were about to finish our fish and chips we heard what I can only describe as a wailing noise coming from the neighbours garden.
Humpback?The noise stopped when I got close to the fence, I waiting for 5-10 seconds and then it started again

And apart from the front garden issue described in your post.Edited by funkyrobot on Saturday 24th August 10:22
And the back garden issue described in your post.
He will fall out with himself. I have no interest in arguing with him.

I did say 'ok' neighbours.

But you need to stand your ground to some extent. If he chooses to come onto your land to cut a tree down on your land he is well out of order.He will fall out with himself. I have no interest in arguing with him.
You could simply try and cut the branch that is causing the issue.
Boundary disputes no matter how petty are often the ones that define neighbour relations. I have never had one. Its very simple for us.
On every house we have bought owned flipped whatever. we put a fence or build a wall up that is exactly to the border line.
That fence is our property and our responsibility and I have always made a polite point of informing the neighbours accordingly.
