I know there must be several but this one really gets my goat. Apparently if you prune some branches from a neighbours tree that overhang intofoyur garden you are meant to BY LAW return them Most people fo course dont because it just seems plain wrong. One just take them down the dump.YOU CAN BE SUED. APPARENTLY!One of my neighbours borrowed my longhandled loppers to remove some branches, next thing she ( or they as they are a cohabiting pair of ladies) receive a letter from the landlady of the house next door where the intruding branches came from, threatening legal action. They then have to settle out of court to the tune of £300 not wishing to fight it . Then just to rub salt in a gaping wound the landlady has the tree removed anyway. My own next door neighbour called it a "businesss decision"Do some people only ever think what they can get out of a situation?do they have no concept of good neighbourly relations or of just being plain decent?
