Just checking to see if anyone other than Grandad1943 had any trouble understanding my post of 19.52?
Phoenix Since you ask, yes! 
Can't understand where Donald fits into this discussion; we know he fancies himself as a fence builder, e.g. that one down Mexico way, but that doesn't compare with your problem.
When you were a Grace and Favour resident at Windsor Castle your DH, now your exDH, was a "Chippy" and would have come in handy with your present predicament. "Cometh the Time, Cometh the Man," something like that.!
Actually, at the Castle there wouldn't have been any fences to mend with whole place being built of solid granite, and in any case, your landlady would have picked up the tab.
without arguing about it over the fence. 
Hope that answers your question!?

Hello all, hope you are safe and well.
The fence between us and next door blew down some years ago, Mr Neighbour offered to put it back up, which was kind of him. 
However, he is obviously a stranger to a spirit level and the fence is not only all over the shop with regard to the "horizontals" but is now leaning quite badly.
We've had a couple of quotes to replace it, and it's looking like well over £800 
We really can't fork out that much at the moment, so we're wondering if it would be acceptable to approach neighbours and ask them if they might contribute to the cost, as a new fence would benefit them as much as us.
Generally we get on well, but Mrs Neighbour can be a bit "prickly" 
They are younger than us, both work full time, and have no mortgage. I'm down to 2 days a week, Mr P has gone to around half his previous income, and we still have a mortgage 
What are your thoughts?
Thank you.
With regard to not understanding my post, I'm surprised at you!
Phoenix Now what's that supposed to mean?
I'm surprised that you're surprised because you should know by now I'm slow on the uptake .
Good job we're not on Zoom, otherwise you'd see I'm full of surprises.!
Good Health
