CharlieP Apr 2017 8:09am, 25 Apr 2017 749 posts	Quote Pin CharlieP I'm fortunate that I seem to have decent neighbours on both sides and to the rear of my garden. My neighbour's boyfriend, on the other hand, is currently in a dispute with his neighbour about the fence between their gardens, and they're sending each other registered letters by post.
Helegant Apr 2017 9:28am, 25 Apr 2017 4,600 posts	Quote Pin Helegant Thats the thing about conflict - different expectations, and it grows if not addressed... the sad thing is that my neighbours are decent people, all of them. But I'm in the 'good walls make better neighbours' camp whereas they are in the 'what's mine is mine, what's yours is mine' camp and don't even seem to realise there's a difference.

It also stopped the footballs crashing into my plants.... until they became oiking great teens who delighted in the sound of a ball crashing into the panels!
CharlieP Apr 2017 1:03pm, 25 Apr 2017 750 posts	Quote Pin CharlieP There's no way I could put up fences in the front garden - it would completely change the character not just of my property but the whole street. Practically everybody seems to be a decent neighbour, bar the builder across the street. His young son seems to think there's nothing wrong with using their neighbours' leylandii as a goal net when kicking a ball about on the street... probably because his father comes out and joins in.

And the way he stirs his porridge in the morning. I don't know why these things grinds my gears, but they do. And I can't say anything because this is just me being a bit odd and he's a nice man.
