I find this post sad. Why should friends fall out over this, who did
the falling out you or your neighbour?



She did. I thought my resolution was a good compromise, to reduce the
trees and get the alleged damage monitored, like was done for my own
house which has had to be underpinned and that worked without taking out
too many trees. It was not acceptable, apparently and I got fed up (if I
didn't answer the door yet again) that she would bang on my windows
front and side, ring my mobile and house phone continually.
We'll see what happens. I am fairly sure my house will heave after this
and my insurance company will be asking hers to pay for the damage.


Congratulations on winning the 'most selfish git on urg' award.

Happy to get this award because I know the removal of the trees will cause a
heave problem in my own house within a year or so.
I don't mind you disagreeing with me - not at all - but I'd prefer that you
did not call me names.

That was unfair and uncalled for.

Yes, because he doesn't know the entire story but not to matter. I think I
can disagree with anyone on a newsgroup with a reasonable debate without
resulting to name calling.

I also agree, it was unfair and uncalled for, I have never before involved myself in the stupid trivial stuff that goes on here, I am often very sad at some of the comments made here ?? but then, I suppose it takes all sorts ??
