[Help] Annoying neighbour dispute

[Braggfan]

Only just in from work. Public rights of way officer - so this sort of thing comes up all the time, even though in your case it is a private rather than public right. The Deeds are all-important, as that is what the legal bods will pore over and argue about if it ever comes to it. So always arm yourself with the right stuff.

I hate entering into an argument with the landowner or the public without a nice array of documents and maps to counter whatever bollox they decide to start throwing around at me. One owner (also a solicitor) was arguing at length that a track through his farm wasn't a footpath - and he said something like 'look I'll show you on a map' and went off to fetch an 1860 OS map that had been owned by his grandfather. He unrolled it, and said 'there' to illustrate whatever point he was making (it escapes me now). After a moment I said 'is this your grandfather's writing?' - 'yes' he replied. "But he's written 'Public Road'" I pointed out. Exit one shamefaced solicitor/owner - and the way is now on the maps as a byway!

Glad you got it sorted.

The level of saistifcation from putting a solictor in his place must have been so high. So high in fact that everyone who's read your post is absorbing it and feeling saitisfied on your behalf.

Sorry Kosh - any chance of that post in English?

No, no, no...

Really hate the running
Really hate the game
Looking at them all
I wanna be unborn again
Their suit is getting tighter
Although they're getting thin
The flies are crawling on their face
And trying to get in

People say that we're to blame, I say
No no no, it's just the game

Must we let them fool us? No no no
Have we got our freedom? No no no
Is it getting better? No no no
Do we love each other? No no no
Must we wait forever? No no no no no

Heads are getting stronger bodies getting weak
Looking at them all it feels good to be a freak
Their hands are getting closer they're reaching out so far
The greed gonna get them make them serve stars
Tell them how it is and they say
No no no we know it all
We know it all

The washing's getting dirty the air is getting thin
It's all in such a mess that no one knows where to begin
They talk about creating but all they do is kill
They say we're gonna mend it but they never will
Poison in the rain but they say
No no no we ain't to blame
It ain't us

Must we let them fool us? No no no
Have we got our freedom? No no no
Is it getting better? No no no
Do we love each other? No no no
Must we wait forever? No no no no no.

Not since post #11

Thank you for worthwhile contribution and for pointing out the error of my ways in not reading all the posts before posting on a thread.

Just out of interest, do you spend all your time looking for such opportunities or just some of your time?
