Only obvious to you because you are still completely wrong (of course). What's your best tip to get revenge on someone using a wood burning stove? I could aim my jetwash into the chimney and flood the living room.... How were you supposed to know the jetwash fluid was flammable? ;-( Excellent idea. It wasn't an idea, it was an observation. Do you want credit for it in the police report? Yes, that I warned you that it might be flammable (if it turns out to be etc). I don't think whatever "jetwash fluid" is could be flammable as it's mixed with water. My jetwash connects to the mains water supply via a hoselock connector, and sprays just water at high pressure. There is no fluid. I suppose I could feed it with petrol, but if the stove is running, the flame would very quickly come back and blow up the jetwash sat next to me. |

If it were a dog or a cow they might. owners/keepers of cats /do/ have a duty to take reasonable care to ensure that their animals do not injure people or damage property. Nope. My cat could go mental and scratch you. I didn't know this was going to happen so am not at fault. If it does things like that repeatedly, then perhaps I could be required to stop it happening again. If it was a dog, I should have had it on a lead. But cats don't live on leads, they go where they please. What they don't have is liability if their cat tresspases on another's land. |

Like when you see your neighbours cat regularly jumping on and off your car a scratching it ... That is the cat's fault, and they can't pay. It's not, the owner has a 'duty of care' to ensure their cat doesn't cause damage to other peoples property and they can be held responsible for it. Bull****, you cannot control a cat, by their very nature they roam freely. What you said only legally applies to dogs. Our little cat never bothered anybody (outside of the house) as she was virtually never out (The exception was the few times she let herself out the patio door and sat in the sun for a few minutes un till she was spooked by something and came tearing back in). Daughter's cat NEVER goes outside, and if we get another it won't either. Our old big cat liked going out, but seldom left our yard (and NEVER climbed on anything) |

As I said below, I could have kept it trimmed. But you arent legally responsible for the damage that it does in a big storm if you don't. And in fact plenty of jurisdictions don't allow you to trim trees like that. Very easy to tell if it's high enough to hit a property. But impossible to predict what might damage outside your own property if bits come off in a big storm and that is much more likely to happen than the entire tree falling over. If my tree fell down and went through my neighbour's window, she shouldn't expect her insurance to pay, and raise her premium. The money should come from me or my insurance. Legally that is just plain wrong. No it isn't. I'm at fault for having a tree that is too tall for being that close to her house. Legally that is just plain wrong. |

An acre is 220 yards x 22 yards (at least that's how I remember it), thus it would be quite easy to be 30 yards from a neighbour. OK, it could be 70yds x 70yds but even then you can't be all that far from the edge. It was 2 acres quoted. That's 34 times the land I've got. And I'm 20 metres from my neighbour. Most people put their house in the middle of the land. Most people don't have long thin strips of land. So even a perfectly square 2 acres is less than 100 yards by 100 yards. Exactly in the middle of that puts you only 50 yards from the edge. Who has a perfectly square 2 acres and who puts their house exactly in the middle? We have a 9 acre plot, we're closer than 50 yards to a couple of houses. -- Chris Green · |
