Neighbours refuse to mend fences
When Barry Hunt put a three-metre wire fence round his garden, neighbour Adam Clark thought it was a real eyesore, and asked him to remove it. Mr Hunt took offence and made it clear that he would do no such thing. One year on, the two men still haven't reached an agreement, and now face the prospect of having to settle their dispute in court. "It's absurd," said Mr Clark. "He holds me entirely responsible and refuses to take any of the blame. The sad truth is, we've reached the point where neither of us will back down."(Oxford Word Skills Advanced, by Ruth Gairns and Stuart Redman)
