Irene Lee and her husband Graham, both in their 70s, had been in a year-long fight with their neighbour Bharat Mistry over the tree when they decided to take matters into their own hands in 2021.

The tree, located at the edge of Bharat's property in Waterthorpe, Sheffield, had branches and leaves which crossed the property line onto Irene and Graham's land, and after getting fed up with noisy birds and having the tree block their driveway, the couple called in tree surgeons to cut the branches in half - shaving off everything that was on their property.

The argument is so bitter because the stakes are so low...

@George-K That is funny. Unfortunate, because they live so close.

Re: IT - that's right. I wonder what the conclusion to that was
