Yes, you probably are old-fashioned, possibly an old-fashioned
gentleman? I would have thrown an utter and complete, extremely
unsightly wobbly.

I am most upset/annoyed about the chunk of hawthorn hedge they cut down
- I do appreciate that it was not and never could be a neatly trimmed
hedge, hawthorn does not do neat, but they had placed 2 metre fence
panels in front of it so that only about 30 cms would have been visible
from their side.



I agree with the others, that's a truly horrific story and I too would have
gone ballistic. I hope you told them that it is (I believe) against the law
to cut a hedge during the nesting season.
