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.

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.

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.Make £2025 in 2025

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!0 -
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.
