[LISTEN] Neighbours from hell: Callers share their stories

My story goes back to 2016, I have got neighbours that have got prickly pears growing into my garden. I wanted to put up an electric fence and I contacted them and asked if they could please cut their prickly pears down. They refused. The fence went up and for a whole year, we had to trim their leaves.
