    Why did you do that? You know he's a prat, so why antagonise him by putting a plastic bottle on it?

    Wow, if that's how the neighbour reacts when all you've done is put a plastic bottle on this "shelf", god only knows what they'd do IF you tried to remove it, or asked nicely for it to be removed.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    If you want a (more) peaceful life, as said, don't antagonise. You're not helping yourself. Report to the Housing Association.

    How childish that sounds, and that's how things escalate. You've already been threatened and I'm not for one minute equating that with you putting a bottle there, but it seems you did so just to provoke a reaction. Don't be a second idiot in the situation. One is enough. It's good to know your rights, but it takes sense to exercise them. Do things by the book and let the appropriate authorities deal with what arises.

    If this neighbour added the shelf board to your side, who painted the fence prior to that?

    From here, it seems he has taken great care to achieve an excellent colour match. If he was trying to wind you up, why would he bother?

    Why would he bother putting up a shelf on the OP's side of the fence? This thread is a bit of a head-scratcher.

    The OP has visited the thread this morning, but thus far has chosen not to further enlighten us.
