My garden is entirely enclosed by fairly high fences, I have wood chips on the flower beds and noticed a large number had been kicked all over the decking. Closer inspection led to the discovery of random objects (sweetcorn cobs and a dish cloth, presumably from someone's bin and a large hole dug under the fence from / to next door.


I cleared up the mess and filled the hole. The hole reappeared, along with more rubbish, again I filled. This time it apppeared again along with a load of old carpet!?!?!?! I have now put a tile against the fence filling the hole and packed earth hard against the tile! Seems to have done the trick last night, lets see if reinforcements are brought in tonight!


I am at a loss at what would do this and why it's so keen on my garden. Also perplexed by the starnge hoard that gets brought in and left! Any ideas anyone?

It must have been really good :-) Thought the carpet looked familiar ;-)

Its back!?!?!?!?!?!? I just looked out the window and the bark is all over the decking AGAIN!!! No idea how the gnomes/pixies/fairies/wombles/oompa loompas/squirrels or badgers have got through a roof tile!!! Will investigate further once downstairs - it's light outside, the garden should be safe! I will still ensure someone knows where I am and maybe get a friend to accompany me :-)


Wish me luck... its a dangerous place out there!

Finally a clue - now which Forumite is it again that likes to pinch other people's yellow duckies? Once you've worked that out, the culprit will be obvious.


By the way, TedMax, the trick with Wombles is not to let them get wet. It's the wet ones that turn into the bad Wombles and start hurling litter about the place and making rude gestures at the cat.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
