Little update. I was able to get three of the four out with an allen key and a long metal cylinder rod I have, my old friend Archimedes never fails to help. The bolts did not like being taken out of the expanding casings but they came eventually.
However, and I only remember this now from when the neighbour had a go with the drill - the hex slot on the fourth one is rounded out a bit. Using a long crowbar I have managed to pry the entire thing up out of the ground about an inch maybe. But it is not coming out any further than where it is now.
Next I am going to put a metal cutting blade on the reciprocating saw that I have and go through the bolt and casing that I can see between the anchor and the ground. If I lose a finger or an eye I'll invoice LFGSS.
