Murder only applies to the unlawful killing of a human being by another human being..

Poetic licence, Fox ..... :))


Many words are not used according to their original meaning.


Have you never heard the expression used by a hungry person "I could murder a (insert name of food item here)", for example?


Anyway apologies, maybe I should change the thread title to "Birds being very loudly killed in Crystal Palace Road?!?" but somehow it just doesn't have the same impact .....

Sue, 'birds being slaughtered' : even more dramatic : two weeks ago before the tree outside the nursery leafed, I saw a little bird sitting on a branch minding its own business, until a crow flapped down, scooped it up and flew away with it.

A few years back a bird of prey got a starling in my garden.


I used to have loads of starlings and now none come.


Weird, eh? That poor starling made a lot of noise, but it was in broad daylight not after dark!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
