attach a piece of string at 1m height at one end, make sure it's as stiff as possible (again problematic at your age) and measure the height at which it is level.
The difference of height should be more that 1% for paved surface or more than 2% for turf or landscaped areas.

Put a water butt on my greenhouse and ran a hose from the overflow to the pond so it will stay topped up. The overflow looks to be about a foot above the surface of the pond but the water won't flow. Have to drop the pond end of the hose 6 ins below the pond surface before it will.
Thought it must be some optical illusion due to the land slope but sighting along a plank of wood with a spirit level on it confirms that the overflow is well above the pond. The water is simply refusing to flow downhill!!!
Is there someone I can complain to about this?

Blockage in the pipe? Not uncommon at your age.
Maybe a snail is living in there?
