I have often wondered about that, when on a plane, I usually get a fat bloke next to me who takes up all the room including the arm rests, then he falls asleep and his head rests delicately on my shoulder while he snores the flight away!!!

This is uncanny cos my next task after CBF is to Google a question regarding who is responsible for what in the case of domestic garden boundary fences. Sounds like the type of thing KKOB would know   :)

Xsquuez me KKOB, I NEVER sleep on an aircraft, physical impossibility,   ;)  The garden fence thingy, well, I believe the garden fence to ones left as one looks at it is ones property/responsibility. No doubt I shall be swiftly kicked up the ar.........., sorry quickly corrected, if mistaken  :angel:  ;)

If you are a house owner in the U.K., the title deeds will have a map of the property with your boundary delineated, usually in red.  The boundary lines will have a T marked on them.  If the T is inside your boundary, then that indicates that the boundary is your responsibility!  If you are enquiring about Turkish property, I have not the slightest idea!!! :-\

If it is in Turkey, the responsibility for maintaining the wall falls under the 1988 law "Let the British pay".

In the olden days you always knew which fence was yours because it would be the backside   ;) of the fence facing you.  To be polite you always gave the neighbour the frontside. Not sure this applies these days!

As a house mover of some experience, these boundary walls area slightly grey area, I have copies of my house deeds (available to download for a few pounds) but to my left is a boundary which is difficult to fathom.  As my house is on a hill, there is a 12 metre drop into next doors garden, with a supporting wall, on top is a 2 metre fence, which I have always maintained.  A problem with the massive supporting wall would be expensive and cause a big upheaval to both properties, but who is responsible is certainly not clear on the deeds.  Anyway it will soon be somebody elses problem cos I' moving!

If you access the Land Registry web site, you should be able to discover which property the boundary belongs to.  In one of my recent experiences with a school playing field and houses backing on to the field, the boundary ownership wasn't clear, however, the L.R. ruled that as the private properties were there prior to the school being built, the boundaries belonged to the individual house owners!   :)

I am responsible for the boundary on the right in the UK (going by my title deeds)

If I stand out the front of my house and face it, we are responsible for the right hand boundary too.  :)

My understanding too, standing in the doorway looking out, it's the fence on the left.

Oops! Got carried away. Whoever's bigger or moves quickly enough gets the middle armrest. Then the other person gets it when that person moves and so it goes on and on. . .

Lotty you are more or less right, the fattest ones get the arm rests, as one of the average size people I have no chance, I just huddle up in the middle hoping they will go to the loo and give me a chance to move my elbows!!
