A little bit of my neighbours character. I won't go in to too much detail as I don't want to out him...
Years ago, he lived in a small village of which had it's own council.
The council spent a lot of money to change the profile of the green spaces which bordered a national park. This resulted in large animals roaming freely around the village and on to roads, especially dangerous at night.
Some of the changes resulted in motoring accidents involving the animals. The council refused to take action and refused to acknowledge petitions.
So he allegedly removed or rectified the changes and got charged with criminal damage. It went to court.
Many from the village turned out to support him.
He was found not guilty.
Haven't heard how he is yet as his wife hasn't been back yet.
If I was mowing my front lawn, I did his and vice versa. I tended to do it more often because ours needed it. He always brought out a cold tin as a thank you and had a good chinwag.
