I dont want to get in trouble because some little scrote cut his hands
open trying to climb over my wall.

It would seem you're ok to put a visible spikey top of some kind - barbed
wire or those rotating types are seen everywhere on industrial premises.
What would be dodgy is broken glass etc which isn't visible from the
ground.

Yeah - until the day when one of them actually tries it, then I think
I may just either stick with the bare wall (and hope that the 6 foot
drop puts them off) or maybe run just a line of normal barbed wire
along the top.
