  • Sycamores are fucking weeds. There are a few in my garden allowed to grow by the previous lazy owners and our neighbour that are just too big for me to deal with solo. All they do is make anything underneath them manky and drop their bastard spinny seeds everywhere so more of the fuckers spring up.

  • My GF has one towering over her garden. She lives in a C19th terrace and it’s in next doors garden barely 10ft from the back of their property and 20ft from hers. Not surprisingly she has had trouble with her drains not clearing and the neighbours are being total s**ts about allowing access to the Southwest Water engineers who have positively identified a high spot in the pipe work under their garden. They know fine well the tree is to blame and removing it would cost them dear. Wondering if the water company has the power to force them to fell the tree on the grounds of basic sanitation.

  • removing it would cost them dear

    Presumably they’re thinking of leaving before it becomes a major problem? Wouldn’t it cost them more, and be far more unpleasant, if something happened to the pipe or the system?
