Not only does he seem to have opinions on everything

I kind of wish more people had more opinions on more subjects - so many people seem to almost shy away from being inquisitive and/or limit themselves just to subjects they specialise in for whatever reason.

There's a difference between that and being a self-appointed expert on seemingly every topic, and doing so in an aggressive manner a lot of the time.

All whilst normally actually being fairly inaccurate or wrong about aspects. Every thread has a question, a few helpful answers and then a PS post of about 40 paragraphs (each with only 1 line) telling you why you are all wrong and his way is the the absolute only way and it's mad that you'd even consider anything other than the PS approved method of thinking and acting.

Back on topic a bit more....

Was browsing houses on Right Move recently and there was one that I liked the look of with a large garden (a must for me) and it was all nice and sunny with very tall trees around the border on the neighbouring property. The pics however were taken in winter with no foliage on the trees.
Did a quick Google maps aerial view and it was of one in spring/summer (leaves on the trees) and the entire garden and back of the house was in shade, and would be for a large part of the day. From this I would not consider the house and if I did I would not buy it with the expectation of the neighbour being willing to trim them or cut them down.

Is there any other background to this? You sound like a terrible neighbour.

Also from that link above kindly provided:
"What do I do with the prunings?
Once branches are cut off they should be offered back to the tree owner. If the owner doesn’t want them then you will be responsible for disposing of the prunings; you can’t simply throw them over the boundary into your neighbour’s garden!"

like i said hes fine with it .. his garden is 3 times what ours are ..so lots of trees ..
my neighbour's love my bbq .. so can't be that bad .. ?

remember people there neighbour's there not family and there not friends (well some) you own a property .. it's yours ..
you can do what you want in it .. well unless you live on a new build they have so many rules .. and you just paid £300k for it .. :p
That's OK as the gardens in New builds are so small there's no space for trees:cry:.

why because i like a clean garden ? and as said he's fine with it

That's not the point they were making. Chucking branches back over is fine. But chucking leaves back over is very petty. You've already gone to the effort of picking them all up, how much more effort is it to stick in your garden bin.

buy a neighbour who has a green bin a couple of beers every now and then. None of mine who have green bins ever fill them up every single time...
