    Tips: I particularly like the suggestion of a line of disgusting washing As old, grey, tattered and stained as possible. I can donate some teatowels if required.

    Moving this to the house buying/renting board might give broader responses.

    Is this sarcasm or genuine ignorance?

    I'm a bit shocked to be honest.

    No.

    I took it absolutely exactly at face value and am sure that was how Monnagran meant it to be taken - ie a genuine comment.

    Monnagran isn't a poster that makes sarcastic/nasty/etc type posts.
  • Monna is absolutely one of the very nicest posters on the boards. Please don't take her post as anything else. She's a really genuine sweetie!
    Overprepare, then go with the flow.

    This 'privacy screen' - is it by any chance upright long twigs held together with thin wire? If so, I don't give much for its chances unless it's supported by something, we tried using something to block a gap between us and next door after we took a large bush out while having building work done. The first strong winds broke it really easily.

    Slinky yes that is it. Trying to put another type of support in our own garden, is proving tricky.
    I will let things calm down, and try and reach a compromise.

    Oh happy days! As if I haven't got enough going on.
    monnagran thanx for PM!

    HOORAY!!! We have reached a compromise at last. The neighbours have found a privacy trellis. Not only that, they are paying for it, and putting it up. We have all kissed and made up.
    Thank-you to all of you for posting, the funny ones were great.
