Know what you mean, if I get that one I normally say, "What are you worried about me treading on the weeds or the dog poo?" :shock:

I will avoid the rare, well managed front lawn, that's got the stripes going up and down it like Wembley. Obviously the guy's going to fly at you for walking on it. But gardens full of rusting bike frames and washing machines they've got to be joking! :left:

Whose going to complain about not getting their "Un-addressed mail" George ? :Very Happy

Perhaps that Young girl was really interested in getting some Double Glazing! :shock: Especially as she lived in a local housing association house! :crazy:
