well done with the link

Sounds a right good neighbour, doesn't he? Apparently his last stunt was to build a 12ft-high concrete wall round his garden, cover it with corrugated iron, and claim it was a greenhouse.

I remember this case when he bult the wall, he gave the impression then that the neighbours where a bunch of nosey busy bodies and this is how he defends his privacy.

He's a nutter. There's alot of them about.

I would rather have trees than not - why are his neighbours so bothered about being able to see his house? Looks to me as if it just needs a bit of pruning.

[ludwig]

Because they block the light to the other peoples houses and cause subsidence and it reduces the value of your property when it's obvious you're living next door to a nutter.
