My unreasonable neighbour

You need a triffid not a wisteria.

I have a lovely Wisteria on the boundary of my garden and it overhangs next door a bit over the fence and the top of their IMO unsightly outhouse. If it were me I would be happy with that as it is a thing of beauty but the silly old bugger next door has to chop it in a complete straight line along his side of boundary. Done the same with a prostrate pine that comes from my side, been over both fronts for years before he moved in, now cut in a dead straight line along the boundary so I have a nice pine on my side and he has a muddy patch of missing lawn for the last year he seems quite happy with.

Ok, all these are in actuality on my side so he can do what he likes but there is no application of common sense, they are not removing light etc and just softening a boundary, in one case in a very attractive way. Just some need to have everything in a straight line, under absolute control and urbanised I guess.

Except his fence, which he insists belongs to me as it needs a bit of TLC

We have a huge amount of parking here also and hardly anyone has to park on street, and still get the odd 'your visitors parked outside my house'. Yes, I know, thanks.

Arn't neighbours wonderful. We had a lovely lady at the back of us who used the fact some of her 6' fence panels had blown out to dump her garden waste in our garden. When she got it sent back she got the solicitors in. We had stolen her land.

Fact my house was built 15 years before hers. Her builders had installed the fence on the boundary when her house was built. We had not maintained the fence. No it is her fence. Her solicitors also wrote to my neighbours asking about the boundary history. I had replied back to her solicitor that I would defend any action she wished to take and it was his duty to advice his client of the costs of such an action. Surveyors arrived. Measured the boundary. Concrete panels replaced the missing wooden ones and she has been quiet for the past 10 years.

Her new neighbour knocked on my door and asked permission to enter my garden whilst he installed a fence. nice chap, but was being hassled about stealing land from his neighbour, the smell of his BBQ was offensive and his children made too much noise, hence his need for the fence.

Why can some people not get a life.

Ed - sounds like she needs to get a life. But you're more than welcome to inflict my ex-neighbours on her. They were quite good at throwing their rubbish in my garden, letting their dog destroy my plants and pots and poop everywhere, as well as being agressive and threatening when asked politely to be more considerate. I belive they forfeited their deposit and the property has been mysteriously broken into since they left (daft landlord didn't change the locks).

One of my next door neighbours is like yours

Why yours had to get ar$ey surely that didnt happen over night, all she had to do was mention it nicely.

haha sounds like my street guy few doors down moaned that i start my bike too early in the morning on his days off, dont think he looked too good in front of every one in the street when i said but you start your van at 6am every morning and wait for it to warm up for 10mins before driving off when your at work.



but i just think as you say more to the world than a plant coming into your garden, just tell her to cut it next time

what a pain in the ass she is. god i'd be forever falling out with my neighbours if i complained about their plants invading my garden. on oneside i have a rather nice clematis that grows over the fence into our garden and the other side we have apple and pear trees which are quite useful when they fruit ech year
