I've noticed that aswell. It'll soon be time to knock ourselves out on poxy hanging baskets :arrrghhh :arrrghhh
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

One woman put up a pointless little trellis to stop me stepping over the 1/4 foot wall between her front garden and her neighbour, I know she did it deliberately because she moaned at me for stepping over the wall saying I was stepping on it and ruining her wall :roll: stupid cow. I make a point of leaving her gate open now :funneh

one of the posties at our office was told off by a snobby customer for walking on her new paving slabs!! He asked her if the reason was perhaps "that they werent very good quality ones"! :left: :dance

One of my customers put several two foot high bamboo sticks in the two foot wide stretch of garden that I used as a shortcut to get to her letterbox. I stopped using the shortcut, but it obviously hasn't discouraged the floater, as the other day I noticed that the bamboo sticks had been tied together :crazy: to make them more difficult to step over. I'm expecting her to sharpen them next, and then possibly add some shrunken heads on top.

Years ago i used to have a cracking short cut through a loose hedge (i was younger then) then one day a sign appeared placed halfway through it simply said "NO" :left:

It made me laugh i had to stop cutting through after that :chuckle
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Yes, I've got one who asks me not to walk along a paved path to the next house, because his wife 'is of a nervous dispositioh', and one who doesn't permit my van on his drive 'because it might disturb the gravel' :shock: - tories, all of them like this. :sad:
