Why do people have garden gates?
Brian Gaff brought next idea :
Actually I'd like to make all people have fences and gates. Down my street so many people have made their front gardens into car parks that trying to do as i used to just a few short years ago, shoreline a fence line to get to the post box or the shops is now an obstacle course of wide open spaces, cars that overhang the premises and stupidly placed wheelie bins. Its like a nightmare for the blind. Now if the front was the only place to put a car, I'd say fine, just put a little raised strip along the boundary, but no, all the houses in my street have gardens and roads at the rear, most of the gardens being over 100 ft long. Plenty of room for a car or two. Its laziness. I call it the Thunderbirds solution. I'd imagine if they could just step into an alcove and slide down into the driving seat than that would be what they would install. Likewise here, just laziness. There is a busy regular bus route along the road, at the end of my street. A good half mile of that is occupied by large detached and semi- detached houses, these share a long access road at the rear and a have large-ish rear gardens with garages and parking built on them. Do they use the rear to park, not likely... They park out front, usually in a continuous row of near 1/2 mile of parked vehicles, causing absolute chaos for traffic. Cars usually manage to somehow get through, but buses really struggle. I have even regularly seen them incredibly park on both sides of the road, making it a real struggle for buses, sometimes impossible. |

The homeowner ultimately has little control over swathes of people needing access. It was the subject of a TV program some years back and many were very surprised. As of course One would expect, if the program was about the patently obvious it wouldn't have seen the studio. AB |

Why would a court get involved in granting access You can tell anyone (barring Police and court bailiffs) to 'f off' if they want access. Witness any amount of videos,newspaper articles etc on BBC license 'enforcers' being refused access. |

... I suppose it depends on the jurisdiction but I think you would find that any one is allowed entry up to the front door unless steps are taken to stop this. They probably have to have a lawful excuse for being there, though. Delivering letters, or putting fliers through everyone's letter box, or touting for bob-a-job etc are probably regarded as legal, as is calling on that specific person to see if they are in and want to go for a pint at the pub. But being there for no good reason (or even for suspected bad reason) would be a different matter. I lived next door to a policeman, and he kept an eye on the houses in the estate on Mischief Night and Halloween for lads (not from that estate) who were going round throwing eggs at people's front doors. He once nabbed a lad who claimed that he was going to visit his gran to take her a box of eggs that she'd asked for. When he couldn't say what her name was, and guessed an incorrect house number, and couldn't explain why the box only had two eggs in it, and there were egg-stains on the house next door, my neighbour nicked him for malicious damage. There is probably a pass-and-repass clause as well, as there is technically for public footpaths in England and Wales: you are allowed to walk along a footpath to get from A to B and back again, but you are not (technically) allowed to stop and have a picnic or spend ages in the same place. I think it was added to the public footpath legislation after a wealthy racehorse owner objected to people stopping on a nearby public footpath, armed with binoculars and notebooks to note how well his various horses were running so they could sell this information to bookmakers that were taking bets on the horse races. I know that Scotland has implied "Open Access" for the whole of the country, and so doesn't have defined rights of way ("everywhere" is a right of way, subject to the exclusions like houses, railway lines etc), but I've always wondered whether marked paths and tracks are still shown on OS maps to denote whether there is a defined route that is habitually walked, so you know that this will be compacted ground and not a ploughed field, and probably way-marked, as opposed to land that may have all sorts of hazards such as streams, bogs etc with no defined crossing points - in England and Wales, you can *usually* assume that a footpath that goes up to a stream bank and continues on the other side will have some means of getting across, whether it's little footbridge, stepping stones or else is so shallow that it can be forded as long as the stream is not in flood. Looking at a Scottish OS maps, there don't seem to be any routes which are marked, not just "you *may* walk here", but additionally "you *can* walk here without getting stuck on impassable ground". |

Hense the "garden gate" - it is delineating the point where free access is restricted..

(at least in the red states) But just opening it to walk through, you could be just going to the front door. Few yanks are such desperate povs/chavs that the only place you can get to thru the gate is the front door, even in trailer parks. I said COULD. So someone entering through the gate shouldn't be shot, as they could be visiting you, delivering a package etc. So the gate achieved nothing. It clearly does if they jump over it. You mean doesn't. |

They put the gates there to make mental midgets go to usenet asking stupid questions. They really annoy people like postmen, opening and closing 1000 of them a day. None of ours do. They zoom up on their motorbikes and stuff the letters into the letterbox which is never inside the gate. http://www.skillsone.com.au/vidgallery/the-posties-run/ watch at 3:30 How is it I knew he was Australian as soon as I saw him? If he did that here some moronic pig would do him for motorbiking on the pavement. I guess Australia is like America, being larger per head of population, so you all tend to have larger front gardens. I really couldn't be bothered going to collect my mail instead of having it come into my front door. |

No it isnt. I mean they just get on with things instead of making a fuss about unimportant ****. |

I didn't know you lived in lawyer filled America. and on things that cannot be scaled, That little monkey shows that they all can be. like a front door to a house. Bet that wont stop that one when get gets older. It stops them wandering in for a laugh. Won't stop burglars though, nothing does. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/pa...c3ffcbfea4a0bd That's the kid's problem. No problem for him. And their parents for not simply teaching them to swim. No point in his case, there was no pool yet. Everyone should learn to swim, it's a very useful ability. Sensible people teach their babies to swim, it's easier at that age. Then you know there will never be a problem if your kid falls into something. Pools here don't generally have fences. Only because there are **** all pools there. Those that are don't have fences, we aren't as pessimistic as you lot. Fly into Sydney, you will see that most have them here. https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-33..../data=!3m1!1e3 Kids can either swim or aren't stupid enough to go into a pool when they can't. Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something. If you have kids that go into a pool when they can't swim, they need removing from the gene er.... pool anyway. |

In most US states a fence or other barrier is required around pools. There are plenty of rules about fence height, latch height, gates must open out and be self latching. If you have a compliant fence and a kid still gets in, you have a pretty safe position if they try to sue you. You lot really need to grow up and stop blaming each other for everything. Someone falls in a pool, it's THEIR fault, nobody else's! Are you all retards who can't look after yourselves? |

(at least in the red states) Do pigs get shot if they approach a house? Only in Waco Texas and Ruby Ridge etc. Cleveland, LA. the list goes on. The result is still the same. The cops kill as many as they can, sometimes everyone inside. You ought to organise a nationwide cop cull. |

They decided it was too risky and decided to not have the pool till he is older. Er, they had a pool before he could swim. Stupid as **** really. One hell of a stink on facebook when she first posted the video. |
