Years ago I was driving through Ireland (Cork I think) minding my own business and listening to the local radio station. The male radio presenter was doing a piece on the local beauty salon; he?d grown tired of his wife complaining about everything women needed to do to be properly groomed so had decided to get himself waxed live on air. It was so obvious what was going to happen (guys having a low pain threshold and all); seconds after the strip came off a chain of expletives roared out of my radio, then silence and then a commercial break.


I laughed so hard I nearly crashed the car. I had to pull over until I could get myself under control. The car behind me also pulled over and I thought he was going to have a go at me for not indicating or something; but he was laughing too.

    • Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents. 
    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
