Why, of all the many aesthetically pleasing fencing types available, the new neighbours should have chosen the least-popular Berlin Wall design I will never understand. However, if they want to make a sow's rectum out of a sow's ear - to stretch a metaphor to the nether region - they're welcome to do so as there is no law against bad taste.
'Live and let die', I always say, but some people have already escalated the Sproxton Lane fencing saga beyond its 2-metre height and lodged official complaints with Council who are talking to emissaries from both sides.
The score so far:
Lilliputians: one
Blefuscudians: nil
Stay tuned for further despatches from Mildendo and Blefuscu.
