Why is it kids see allotments as fair game?
Some bunch of scrotes unpicked the chain link, lifted a spade lying on a plot, chopped it once into an aluminium & glass cold frame on Jacky's plot, then used it to chop and pry their way through the side of Jim's shed.
So instead of planting some of my onion sets I have spent the evening, talking to the police call centre, giving Jim & Jacky the news, fixing the fence and inspecting all of the site fence for any further damage.
Our District Council in their wisdom put an asphalt square with a single basketball hoop at one side across the cycleway from the little kids play area. Guess which side backs onto the allotment? That's right, and the current crop of aspiring Meadowlark Lemon's, when making up for lack of skill with enthusiasm have been landing their ball in our site. If they can see anyone on site they do call and ask politely if they can have the ball back, but after my fence inspection I can see that they have been climbing over, often, and the chain link was much detached from the top straining wire. Attached enough for a quick glance to say all is OK, but walk and pull gently and three to six foot sections swayed and bowed.
So I'll have to TRY to get the DC to move the ruddy hoop, any gamblers out there prepared to set the odds?
