Indeed many police forces will give you a leaflet on protecting your
home and garden which contains suggestions for prickly plants.





Quite so. Being the Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator for our road, I see
most of these guides. One still has to be sensible, though, and not
drag the spirit of the law too far away from the letter of the law;~).
The "keep it trimmed" advice was something of a two-edged sword.
