Off Topic When is a hedge not a hedge?

….When it's a tree!

I have a 20 foot wall of conifers backing onto my garden which effectively blocks out the light to an area of my garden. I have tried to get the neighbour to reduce the size of his conifers with the offer of cash. He refused to do so. I petitioned ERYCC to issue an order under the 'High Hedges' legislation and duly paid £384 which is the council's costs. Despite knowing that 4 properties at the rear of his house were pxxxed off with his trees and to escape the imposition of an order by the council, my neighbour has simply cut a gap between the trees which had grown into each other thereby forming a hedge. By cutting the gaps the hedge became a line of individual trees and therefore not subject to the high hedges legislation.

This is a loophole in the legislation which I believe should be closed. It won't help me but it might help others in the future. I have submitted on on-line petition to Parliament and would be grateful if the Tiger Nation would consider supporting it. Follow the following link:

So you want a poplar vote. You'd be better off with a privet petition.

Could nae ashk for a better retort zobbit. A pine 't'is for thee.

 

There are ways and means mr sobbing and running and telling on people isn’t one of them in this case.

 

totally agree with you mr bob..384 quid? now what would I do for that.

 

Leaf it alone.

Btw your neighbor / neighbour (****ing spell check) ... sounds like a right ****.

 

Conifers are very flammable. Just saying....

a hedge is better than a chav blasting music constantly
oh chav is an offensive term?

ok a low iq degenerate inbred? who should be put down in my honest opinion, we are over populated as it is, human rights my ass,

they are not working class, they are scum, hull has some of the most inbred degenerate people i have ever encountered in my life, they are not human, put em in the gas chamber imo
they couldn't put a sentence together

Reminds of the big horrible guy who used go around pinching garden gates! No one would dare approach him incase he took offence!!!!

 

When is a hedge not a hedge?


When it's just a small pile of ash.

 

What do you call a hedge in the morning?

An AMbush. Sorry about that, better nip this in the bud before it grows out of hand.

I'll get m'coat.

 

When it’s a fund?

 

Ambush is the collective noun for a group of tigers.

 

or when its a hedge fund!

 

If the trees run along your boundary - dig a trench on your side along the frees - use a good axe to chop through the main roots that go onto your property as they're on your land - then wait for the wind to blow
