Was it an 'Easter' egg or just a 'Chocolate' egg ?. Easter seems to have been deleted by all the main egg makers.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Too Pagan by far.

Might upset the Christians...

[Dave Plowman (News)]

True. But did you tell her you got it cheap? ;-)

[spuorgelgoog]

I don't care about the Easter bit, but it better be real chocolate and not 'chocolate'

She knows me well enough. :-)

SWMBO bought me a real chocolate egg. I didn't realise how high the cocoa content was until I'd eaten too much.

flattened!

Just shows it hardly ever gets properly windy where ever the above is.

Occasional light shower.

What wind?

North Pennines, exposed and at, 1400'. Same down the M6 and in Preston, afternoon in Preston was bright and sunny.

A friend posted a photo on Facebook of a bunch of eggs with no mention of "Easter" on the front. The only thing is that the photo was taken in the

70's.

There has been no banning of "Easter" by Cadbury's or anyone else.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

You should have stamped on that and quickly. Unless on their side of the border - or with your agreement.

Never quite understood the like for high fences all round a small garden. Different, perhaps very close to the house. They make the garden seem even smaller. ;-)

Or there again, maybe the penny eventually dropped that it's bad business to put a name on something perishable such as chocolate eggs which would immediately render them unsaleable, at full price at least, after a specific date.

The more Easter loses any real meaning, the more chance there is of flogging chocolate eggs all year round; or at least until this years stocks are exhausted.

Hot cross buns are already year-round.

And better for burglars. I have nothing but a hedge, kept low enough that you can see over it. I feel more secure than if I had a 6' fence.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Which is exactly what happens.

[Nightjar]

The only known boundary feature remaining since 1931 was one wire mesh fence on concrete pillars. That had the pillars on my side and it was when I replaced that that my neighbour informed me that her deeds said it was hers. I suspect it is simply that the original deeds were badly drafted.

In article , "Dave Plowman (News)" writes

Same here. Most people seem to assume that every fence is shared.

[F]

We're left with that assumption. The plans in our deeds have no Ts on boundaries and the narrative is silent.

[whisky-dave]

My green wheelie bin got blown nearly a foot. :-0 black one seemed to stay put.

[bert]

Then that is the best compromise.

[NY]

I came out of a shared-boundary deal quite well: a neighbour on one side assumed that she own that fence and paid for it when she wanted to replace it; the neighbour on the other side assumed that that side was shared when panels blew down in the wind so I only paid half for repairs to that side. I forget which side the Ts were (and I forget which way to interpret them) but as far as I remember, the two fences that bordered my garden both had T marks so I definitely owned *one* of the two fences!

[Vir Campestris]

She got lost.

We're a mile from Suffolk, and it wasn't anything special.
