    Good idea, but its not teenagers so much. Its mostly one lazy woman and her two kids, who can't seem to walk the length of our street without stopping at my wall for a rest.

    Are they sitting on your wall Clueless.? Why not put a row of cut brick along the top like this
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nobody is going to want to sit on them, or some railings on top with your chosen climbers twined through....

      They don't bother me enough for any drastic action. Its just the occasional brief rest. I get more annoyed by incompetent car drivers visiting either the club next door, or the old lady next door the other way, who somehow managed to convince the DSA to give them a driving license despite the fact that they apparently believe that the entirety of the length of their car is just the bit they are sitting in, hence they sometimes partially block my drive, yet always the driver's bit is actually clear of my drive because of course that's the only bit that matters. One time I might just reverse Gothilda out anyway, and then when they find half their car bent and mangled, I'll say to them "well look, I didn't hit the important bit, I missed the area around the driver's seat because that bit wasn't in my path". Of course I wont really do that. I'll just see if I can think of a plant that will stop them doing it instead.
