I just told the kids next door to come round and retrieve any balls that end up in my garden,it's been a lot easier for them since lockdown as 2 fence panels rotted and removed that I havn't replaced yet

I'm imagining a garden fence akin to Shane MacGowan's teeth! :laugh"

If you replaced the panels, though, the balls wouldn't get in to your garden

6ft fence is easy to kick a ball over for the 2 boys next door

The lads a few houses over from us do a good line in kicking balls into the substation then climbing in to get them. I think we need some 80s style scare adverts.

I don't mind one knock at the door to get the ball back after that I'll do it in my own time. I'm a simple creature and that's the rule my parents had me abide by when growing up.

One Friday evening ball comes over the fence, knock on door so I get it and give it back. 5 minutes later another knock, I give the ball back and say only 1 knock please after that you bring your dad with you.

5 minutes later another knock, big man dad says my son says you won't give him his ball back. I reply I didn't say that I said I don't mind giving it back once but after that you bring your dad with you because if I have to get up every 5 minutes he does too. No more knocks that night and from then on I never got more than one until we moved.

Ok this is going back to the 80s when i was young enough to be kicking balls into folks gardens, i kid thee not there was this bloke over the road from us that constructed a cross in his garden and nailed any balls to it he confiscated from the kids. proper weirdo he was.

You had a soft childhood. When I was young the neighbours nailed the kids looking for their ball to the cross.

Luxury.

My son quite often has to knock on the neighbour’s door to get his tortoise back.

I have a neighbour who walks through his garden, through his garage, to exercise with his g/f outsight his next door neighbours garage. Not sure why he doesn't use his own garden which has a nice lawn, rather than get the yoga mats out on the rough tarmac.

I had to take my own nails and hammer around for the neighbour to use.
And my own cross.

Your own cross? Luxury, we had to chop down the tree

Tell the neighbour to put a cctv camera up outside his garage and broadcast the yoga session on the web.

That’s nothing. My Christian neighbour came round looking for his cross so I nailed him to a football.

That's nothing. When our Christian neighbours came round looking for their family members we fed them to our lions.

The last few posts have cheered up my day. Made me laugh. Thanks.
