MONSTER HEDGES


Do you live in the shadow of a monster hedge? We're making a BBC One documentary

about Britain's biggest hedges. Have you seen one? Is your house blighted by

one? Or are you a proud Leylandii hedge owner? We want to hear from you!

Slow ideas day?


We thought about it, came up with hedges being a totally hilarious subject, and now we're clean out of ideas.


Some one had a wonderfully funny story about sewage, but it was crap.


Then we had one about a library, but it got shushed.


Hedge funds might be a laugh unless you've put your money in one.

I'm glad to have provoked such a lively discussion!


All I can say is that we have made great documentaries in the past http://www.landmarkfilms.com/ and we hope to carry on doing so with this one. If anyone is affected by an enormous Leylandii hedge, we'd like to hear from them.



Hmm, not quite sure. If the milkman was upset by one and he took it out on a customer who took it out on a cashier in the bank who took it out the till operator in the shop on the way home from work and she took it out on me when I bought my bread, then I suppose so. What fee is involved?


PS Why not just rerun Hairy Women.........I missed it first time?

I would have thought you would most likely find huge hedges in suburbia. They have far more space and more provincial minds.

One case in Lincolnshire was a courtroom battle for several years to get the hedge cut, finally the neighbours got their way and cut it down, only to find a second huge hedge planted a metre inside the first one.


I think it's unlikely for this subject to create much hilarity, as the perpetrators of such hedges are such selfish cretins, and their sparring partners are whingeing anal retentives.


I wish you luck with your project, I fear you will need it to maintain your ratings.

That looked o.k to me Lilith.

If a different angle on hedges cpould be made,it would be more interesting,I couldnt sit through yet another crackpot

neighbour feud ,just because one of them is a control freak. Lots of those have been on the tv.

Rather see topiary and more futuristic type projects with hedges and gardens,and some thought given to wild life.

You sure your project manager has not got a beef with his neighbours hedge and wants to do some point scoring.

Education in life is what we need, not education in strife.

    • Just got a flier through our door - has anyone used 'The Sash Paramedic - Robert Lloyd' - before? Wondered if anyone recommends him for repairing or new sash windows? Or knows anything about him? I've tried googling but found no history so far - not on FBook or Instagram either. Or if anyone can recommend sash window repairs or suppliers. Many thanks for any info.  
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
