[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 6724557, member: 416"] At the moment there is a water supply pipe under the lane, which is very narrow and would really need to be closed to dig it up. It’s a dead end with his property at the far end, past mine and a few others (no other housesbut it’s only our field he would want to go through to get to his own fields. There’s nothing wrong with the water supply except it only goes to his place and then branches off to several privately owned paddocks including mine. We all have a private meter which he is free to read whenever he likes. We barely use a drop and he doesn’t charge us even though we ask him to accept payment. We’ve given them half a lamb occasionally. I think the water pipe is a smokescreen because there’s no problem with it. He really wants to lay fibre optic I think and is using the excuse that he will improve water supply as a bonus. We used to rent a field off him but it was just hassle so didn’t renew it. His wife cuts our hedge whenever she likes because she insists it damages her car. It’s all nonsense, it’s cut every year and not one single other person has an issue with it. The potholes in the lane (which they own and are entirely responsible for the costs of upkeep for) are the problem. She drives around them and brushes the hedge. It’s got a bit silly over the years, they’re very petty people. If I was to type out all the nonsense they have caused for other lane users I would be here all night. I think I’m mostly inclined to tell him politely to sling his hook and not to bother me with it again. I’ve an idea he thinks I’m a bit of a pushover and will just lie down and let him go ahead. I don’t want to be as petty as they are and would like to help him but am quite sure there may be trouble ahead! He barely speaks and won’t even acknowledge me some days so I might have known there would be a reason for the very pleasant 20 minute chat we had three weeks ago!! [/QUOTE]
