    Water leaking into wheel well of 2006 B6 Passat estate?.

    Hello, I'm finding water in the wheel well of my 2006 Passat B5 estate after a couple of those real downpours we're getting nowadays.

    Identify grandad's knife.

    As a boy, countryman, farm worker, professional Highland deerstalker, I carried a decent sized lock knife for all of my working life. Only latterly, when the law on knives became much more strict, I had to take great care about what was in my pockets. Lock knives were taboo unless in use or...

    Neighbour refuses to let me paint my fence

    Neighbour refuses to let me paint my fence

    Previous posters seem to have missed the point that (you say) the fence is entirely within your sister's boundary. That being the case she can finish it in any colour she likes provided she does it from her side. Unless it's too high, a roller would do it. Also of course, provided the title...

    Spraying neighbour.

    Swwils Thanks for that. He's a hermit, lives with the curtains drawn and has several security cameras round the house. I suspect he may be a little mentally challenged. Emerges occasionally to rant at neighbours for some imagined slight. Police have attended in the past and found he had viewing...

    Spraying neighbour.

    An elderly lady I know has a neighbour from hell. His latest wheeze is to have set up a £35 cat deterrent water sprayer from Amazon, fitted with a PIR motion sensor. He has it directed over the 6 foot fence to spray her when she goes to the shed or bins. What can she do.
