I offered to buy my neighbour’s garden as I could do with a bigger garden. They’d still have some patio left. I offered a reasonable large wad of cash (in a good quality envelope) and a contract of sale printed on yellow legal paper from the Post Office but they’re not interested.

Maybe consider a stealth operation?  Move your boundary a few cm every few months and hopefully they won't notice.  

They sound unreasonable in any case as your need us no doubt greater.

Alternatively if they like cards and a flutter on the gee gees you could have a game of poker, start with pennies and if it is going well up the staked.  Risky and may backfire which is how I came to live in a caravan, with only the clothes that Iwas wearing. But I would have regretted not going for it.

£30k in cash. All above board. My friend, Mick, from The Castle, who lives near a solicitor’s office drew up the contract (on a yellow legal pad) so it’s all bona fide. 

Is that Mick the Fin , Mousey Mick or Mick the taker ? 

Was the yellow legal pad from the well known solicitors postit and notes ?

    • I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).
    • Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.  
    • When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.
    • I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
