Um, there is, he just doesnt want to share it!0 -
"In 2003, he lost a legal battle against a 3m (9.84ft) high wall built around his property, which neighbours dubbed the "Berlin Wall"."
The man is unhinged."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0 -
I feel sorry for his next door neighbour; it'd drive me up the wall and there's no way he'll be able to sell to move.

What a sad bitter twisted old B**tard!
I'd cut them down myself and if he tried to stop me i'd knock him out.0 -

It must make coming home a bit exciting; like walking into Narnia.
His back garden is a mess. As I said, you have to love the internet.
I wonder what the postie does...0 -
Is that a swimming pool over the back and 5 (10 if semi's) or so houses down?
Seems mad to have one in your back garden in such an urban area!0 -
Crazy. He must really like his privacy. If I was the neighbour I'd have been out there when they were being planted telling him to p*ss off.0
