This reminds me of the house I used to live in, a 2 up 2 down semi cottage,
the girl next door had what looked like a net curtain rod across her front
bedroom window that she used to hang clothes on. One evening we heard
frantic hacksawing, later in the pub I asked her boyfriend what he'd been
doing, and it turns out he'd cut this bar with a junior hacksaw...... he
said it went 'twang' and seperated about an inch on the first cut, but he'd
got rid of it.
I later found the 2 foot metal 'S' buried in the plaster on my side of the
party wall .

Did you tell her?
