Their excuse was that it was an emergency and they needed access to the back garden. (They could have used the back gate).

      They left a letter pined to the front door saying that although the branch was not dangerous; it would be a good idea to cut it. PS you can pick the keys up for the new lock at the council offices between 8.30 am and 5.30pm. I was 7pm and I had to drive to my other house 50 miles away to bring tools to drill out their crap lock and find a new one.
      That's an outrageous abuse of the legislation.

      I had a long running battle with the Electricity Board over 20 years ago. They were threatening to get a warrant to read my meter and I was trying to wring a firm appointment out of them. They wanted me to lodge a key with them. Stuff that - I hadn't invested in high security door and window locks just to give my key away. Long story short - I lost a day's pay waiting for them to come, only to find that they had left a card without bothering to knock on the door.

      But at least they were going to get a warrant...

      (I ended up collaring an Electricity Board worker who was in the area and asked him to read the meter - problem solved that time around)
      Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                      I am truly shocked by that tale. Disgraceful misuse of powers. The council concerned needs a severe .
