FENCEWANKER

[PreppedForDiagrams]

I'll start by saying I am absolutely furious. So bear with angry spelling and grammar.

We are incredibly lucky and live on a marina on a river. It's very beautiful. On the river are temporary moorings for riverboats. This is lovely. Some people have unofficial 'permanent' moorings and have made their gardens pretty and mow the grass. This is nice.

3 weeks ago a shiny new boat showed up directly opposite our house. It's a lovely boat, nice to see out of the window.

Yesterday THEY PUT UP A THREE PANEL OVER SIX FOOT FUCKING FENCE. See pic.

Would I be unreasonable to burn that fucker to the ground and also put a hole in his stupid boat?

I can't see the photo!

Photo!!

I would be interested to see the photo of said fence

I would be interested to see the photo of said fence

Oops. Pics

We need to see! Contact the marina managers and ask them if it is allowed.

Still no pics showing. Can we have a diagram in the meantime?

tempting, but I am not sure the courts would rule in your favour even if they should

Is the boat owner allowed to put the fence? I sincerely hope he's not.

Ah, no - refreshed and there they are!

Well it's not as bad as I thought it would be because the tree covers some of it.

On the bank?

Complain to the management. If every boat owner did that it would look bloody awful wouldn't it?

The marina manager will not care. I'm fairly sure of this.

*for Daily Mail and legal reasons obviously I will neither arson nor piracy. This is me venting. I certainly wouldn't tell mumsnet if that was a serious plan. Let's call it poetic license.

Seems very odd! Who owns the land? Does the boat owner have a permanent mooring there?

Is it on your land?

Yes, right on the bank of the river fanny, apparently next to his decking

well that's just going to blow away in the first light breeze

and "unofficial permanent moorings" ...not certain, but pretty sure that's not allowed...isn't it two weeks max mooring for english waterways outwith an official marina

So do your homework and complain to the right people.

If it's not a permanent mooring then surely they're in the wrong to whack up some fencing?

Not my land. Riverbank. Definitely not a permanent mooring. There aren't any.

Burnt It.
Burnt it with fire.

What sort of bollock brain installs temporary fencing on the bank?

Think I'd be checking the letter of the law, as mentioned, firmly sure permanent mornings aren't allowed in most cases.

That looks very familiar, it's not Hertfordshire, is it?

It might be Hertfordshire. I'm not planning on outing myself though

I don't really see what the issue is tbh. Sorry

well that's just going to blow away in the first light breeze

I hope it falls on his boat.

If it is on the riverbank rather than in the marina, won't it be under the remit of the Canal & River Trust? They are not shy about fining people for stuff especially overstaying... give them the heads up!!
