Re: Tree Murders!!
 

His reason for being in my garden (whilst I was out with my Dad may i add) was apparently to trim overhanging branches from the sycamores and he thought he was doing us a favour by chopping 'what he thought' was roots expanding from the sycamores .......

oh my giddy ants. Just read this whole thread from start to finish and have gone through every emotion god gave me. But it's ended with once again regretting not going to the loo before going on the comp!!!

So cheers tinks!!!! hmph!

Seriously though it's a difficult situation cos you don't wanna fall out with them over a tree cos in life there is nothing worse than having nightmare neighbours. But the flip side is why should the tree terminator get away with it?? Hey he doesn't have a prize winning rose bush does he?? Or a greenhouse as my two lads have a mean kick with a concrete football, lol

The Lumberjack Song

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.
He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesday I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea.
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, he goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesday he goes shopping and has buttered scones for tea.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press flowers.
I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars.
He cut downs trees, he skips and jumps, he likes to press flowers.
He puts on women's clothing? And hangs around in bars?

I cut down trees, I wear high heels, suspendies and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa.
He cuts down trees, he wears high heels? Suspendies and a bra?

Oh dear, sorry Tinks.:(

Like Staggers said a neighbour can only legally lop off any branches off your tree if they overhang your property, and they do have to offer them back to you, not throw them in your garden!

When I lived in London I had a sycamore tree in my garden. My neighbour had a fear of insects and thought my tree attracted them, even though none of it over hung their garden.

She called a tree surgeon and told me I could have it removed for a hundred pounds. I told her I liked the tree because it afforded my garden some privacy from the houses behind.

On returning from holiday I discovered the insect hating nutter had paid the tree surgeon herself and the tree had gone completely.

I won't write what I said to her, because the swearing censor would go into overload.

The only positive thing was I didn't have to spend ages weeding out the seedlings from the sycamore, sent spiralling out on it's little spinning jennys.

Send a bill for the clean up and the stress it caused. Or turn a blind eye and reach a compromise, the rose bush sugestion may feel good at the time but in the long run could make it worse. Getting on with neibourghs meens respect from both sides which in the case T "hooligan neighbour" desided to ignore negating the need for niceties. Go and get the bam and give him a bloutering (verbally mind).

Re: Tree Murders!!
 

I have decided to give him the benefit of the doubt that it was an accident ..... stupid or soft :( ............. you decide? I saw him earlier and shouted over "killed any trees lately?" I just received rather a sheepish smile off him which makes me believe he's telling the truth .... this man isn't usually stuck for words ;) and what's done is done, complaing, shouting or screaming obscenities won't bring it back!


On an upside it has got me out of washing up ........ I've told the kids that I can't bare to look out the window while I'm washing up up at the spot were a once thriving tree was ....... they fell for it and have done the washing up :D I'm going to see how long I can milk it for now :rolleyes:
