Money Moral Dilemma: Should my neighbour pay half the cost of replacing the saw they often borrow?

I'm at a loss as to why some posters are considering the value of the saw. whether it cost £5 or £105 has nothing to do with it. Suggesting not falling out over x pounds is irrelevant and misguided. Any falling out would be soley due to the neighbours selfish attitude.
maybe to OP should buy his neighbour a £5 hand saw (to be neighbourly) and say I bought you a present so you don't have to bother asking for a saw.  

You may be right to characterise the neighbour as selfish, and the OP as kind and generous. Are you suggesting that the op should become selfish, too?
