Our New Neighbour.......

Knowing his luck he'd probably get 2 new 'gentlemen ornaments' aswell

 

Did not read all of this, but, as you said Bilbo, your property is higher than his, and with the hedges that were high, now lower you could not before see into his property.

How about, (now this has to be consistant and played just right) How about---when your on his side and you do see him or his wife out and about, you present with a silly smile, and a glorious wave and say (with an I love Lucy swrilled voice) Hey neighbor I see you, have a good day. Or make some comment on what he's doing, Hey wife I see your reading the newspaper today, that was a good artical on such and such. After a while it is hoped this would get on his nerves, and he would think your the most nosey person in the world and at least let your side grow back in.
Just a thought, although I admit a little off.

 

Oh, yes, and don't forget the ever love shrill of yelling----"you hoo", Hey neighbor.

 

ask them to keep the blinds/curtains closed when they walk around naked at night
