As a fairly new resident, my exploration of the south is continually hampered by the amount of overgrown bushes impeding my path.


Some roads offer little more than a small opening. Can people please trim their bushes.

This goes for the council as well, the trees on Barry road are just top to tail leafy stumps, they offer nothing but a hinderance and offer no aesthetic pleasure.

FFS, do you seriously have that much time on your hands?


If this is your biggest problem in life, then good to you!


Seriously, get a life!

Agree.


Unfortunately most people with unruly bushes have too little time on their hands (myself included).


What time they do have is spent trying to catch up with the more important things in life.

Do you need access to a rear entry or will you just dive in from the front?

Well LL, If you're able to be so dismissive of the matter then 'good to you'.


Me, I've sustained severe spinal damage which means I now walk, laboriously, with crutches and my balance is shot. Dodging around overgrowth, especially on uneven paving, is a real hazard.


Still, as it's no bother to you, maybe I should just 'get a life'.

Well said, Muley. The same goes for those with limited or non-existent eye-sight, limited mobility, or who have to care for children, pets or the elderly as they go about their business.

So, LL and AM - having obstruction-free highways allows other people to "get a life", like the one you proudly suggest everyone should have.

Please discuss the subject of untrimmed bushes. Why does it so frequently drop to the level of discussing the individual making a point and not the subject. That's rhetorical, don't answer it.


Play the ball and not the player.


So, back to unruly bushes...

Hanging unkempt trees and bushes can all be real hazards for blind people.


Serious injuries can result from someone walking into bushes left overhanging..


So priorities about what is more important needs to be addressed.


and a little consideration for others.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
