O/T people sitting on garden wall. advice needed
Walk out there with a pump-action shotgun loaded with blanks, fire a few
rounds into the air, point it at whoever is stupid enough to stick around and you'll never see them again. |

Planting prickly bushes is definitely the answer. Rosa Rugosa are cheap and fast growing. -- dave @ stejonda |

Line the top of your wall with bars of soap, that should do the trick .. 8O)
Seriously though, find out who the local wee hardman is and offer him a tenner if he has a word in there ear to stop hanging around or sitting on your wall, that will do the trick. Kolonel Kurtz |

oo spoke thusly:
Hi I know people on these groups are full of ideas and are very resourceful. I have been looking for a solution to my problem on the net. Basically youths won't stop sitting on my garden wall, despite my repeated requests and threats they continue to sit there. Basically they are noisy and wil eventually weaken the structure of the wall. I was wondering if any of you have any practical solutions? (apart from barb wire, glass on the wall or using a baseball bat on their knees etc lol) I would appreciate sensible and legal solutions... Oh yeah and theres no point moaning to their parents or police - thats useless. Any advice appreciated as its driving me nuts, having to constantly chase the brats. lol Go out and sit with them and talk to them about basket weaving train spotting or stamp collecting , they'll think you're a nutter and keep away :) |

You have to play this smart; just now they're only sitting on your wall
which may be annoying - but if you put any sort of stuff on your wall, whether it's legal or not doesn't really matter to these people as they live outside the law probably anyways, so if one of them sat in this gunge and ruined there brand new designer trackies then things might get worse i.e. bricks through your window, damaging your car, etc. Do you know someone who knows someone [if you catch my drift] who can have an influencing word with them [like my local wee hardman idea], someone at work, a pals kid etc. Good Luck anywway Kolonel Kurtz |

In article , beanykermit
writes the same thing happened to my mate, everytime she was out they would hang outside her house annoying her mum and dad and smashing there fence and car, they kept complaining to pigs, pigs told em to put up a security light with sensor cos the bratts wont like hanging around where there totally lit up! that kinda worked, but then they found somewhere else across the road! its taken half the road to complain to pigs for them to actually do something. The 'pigs' do have rather more on their hands than what is, when all's said and done' simple vandalism. And IME, if I want to persuade someone to do something for me, I find it helps if I go in with attitude of respect for them, rather than one of contempt. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
