SWMBOs greenhouse destroyed, two fence panels down.

Not as bad as the neighbours, 30 ft brick wall 6 ft high - flattened!

Nothing much here. Herts. few twigs scattered, river full and a slate off the barn.

Fences are good (concrete slotted posts) and roofs seem OK.

However, the lid of my recycling bin has totally vanished... It's a mystery.

Next door neighbour left his green house door open and one side is now lacking some glass which can be found in the garden of the neighbour further down.

I've lost the lawnmower cover and all of the garden waste/ pruning/clippings that I piled at the bottom of the garden is now at the other end of the garden.

The the 6x6ft fence panels around a commercial property close by have bent in half - all 3 horizontal rails have snapped at the 3 ft point on

3 panels. The concrete posts remain intact.

Surprisingly little damage considering the strength of the wind at times last night

[Andy Burns]

It rained a bit, Leics.

Two 6' panel fences destroyed. Sadly both separate me from two separate neighbours, both sets of fences with ambiguous ownership :-(.

Local Bentley + JLR dealer had a 200' run of 6' lapped fencing done only last year, with concrete posts, 10' arris rails and overlapped stuff. Backing onto a stream with very sandy, silty subsoil, many of the concrete posts have been tilted about 15% off vertical.

Where I live the side-lift bin-lorry is the most accomplished thief of hinged-attached wheelie bin lids.

Couple of inches of rain. Slightly windy. W. Midlands

she's bin and gon!

A few trees down around here, one down the road took out power to a small cluster of houses.

Should be shown on the deeds to your house which side is yours. Round here it is the right hand one looking at the front of the house.

[Stuart Noble]

Brick wall flat in our local park. Mind you, single brick with double brick piers, and not enough of them. One imagines there are regs if your garden wall backs on to a public footpath. Could have been nasty

Lovely sunny day. Slight breeze. Nice day for a washing.

Walked to Thorntons and got a £25 Easter egg for £6.

My deeds say I am responsible for the boundary on every side of my site. The deeds of each of my neighbours say they are responsible for the boundaries on every side of their sites.

[Harry Bloomfield]

4mm upto midnight + 20mm of rain after + maybe another 6mm during the day, slightly windy here in the extreme east of w. yorks.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Still probably three times what it's worth. Even in Lidl, the packaging weighs more than the egg. Notice they don't give the price per gram of the chocolate. ;-)

[spuorgelgoog]

Easter egg £6, woman chomping chocolate and not bending my lug'ole pricel ess :-)

That's always been the case.

Do you have (or did the property have previously) ?party fence walls? - ie walls astride the boundary lines?

[Andrew]

It does. Bottom of garden shows as mine, but LR shows a double fence with a 5 foot pathway extending the length of 20 houses. This footpath and one of the fences is missing. The original builder ?didn't think it was necessary, so saved themselves the cost of a run of panels, so the right-to-buy owners of the ex-LA properties on the other side also see it as 'theirs'. Result - most of the pure-private houses just maintain it themselves.

2nd fence is to the right as I look out of back door, and originally had 2x6' panels next to the house then 3' chainlink as far as the bottom fence. New FTB neighbours decided to replace (my) chainlink with cheap 6' panels without asking about boundary ownership !. New run of 6 panels are fixed into metposts that were whipping back and forth like dahlias on a windy day. Of the 6, 4 are upside down, and 2 of them are also back-to-front and one is 'attached' to my fence post. When I say attached, they used screws that only went half an inch into the post, so that panel is now flat on the ground, where I suspect it will stay until I do something about it. The FTB neighbours only bought it cheap as a doer-upper and have made £60K profit and effed off.
