Thank you @Loofah. It may sound silly, but I'm new to this kind of terminology and I don't like to take legal things for granted.:phew:
My wife and I moved into our new home back in December. The rear edge of the garden features a natural Devon bank lined by approx. 16 trees. Now...
@ARMANDII Pure filth. Outrageous. :heehee:
