I live on a very narrow lane on the edge of a village. The newish owner of
quite a large bungalow (with large garden) a bit further down the lane has
approx. 50 yards of awful 12ft high Leylandi hedge. He had it trimmed last
friday (long overdue). The trimmings - lots of it - have just been left
lying in the lane covering half of it. Still there today.

Never seen anything like this before. Or am I just getting old and having a
moan about nothing ?

A near neighbour of mine has apparently been the victim of a
scam. Some itinerants called, and told him that he had to let
them trim several large trees because the chap next door had
complained, which was completely untrue.

To say the result was butchery would be an understatement. They
didn't remove any material, and charged him £400 for the job.
