Farmer ‘Gets Revenge On McDonald’s For Cutting Down His Hedge

Anyone who has ever owned a home knows how important good relations with neighbors can be in maintaining a civilized community, and you also know how quickly petty disputes can explode. Well, we just found a story about a farmer in the United Kingdom who just upped the stakes in an ongoing turf war with his neighbor, and you are going to laugh out loud when you see what he did.

A farmer in rural England is engaged in a dispute with his neighbor about some hedges. He recently came out to find that a fast food restaurant located next door had cut down some of the hedges on his property to increase visibility from a nearby thoroughfare.

The conflict unfolded in Owen, Hampshire, where the management of a new McDonald’s restaurant located inside a gas station has cut his hedge next to a busy road to install the sign, advertising their service station.

In retaliation, the farmer has placed a number of large bales of hay directly in front of their sign, making it virtually invisible.

Highways England said they are aware of the incident but cannot act on it because it’s not their sign – adding that ‘the two parties need to sit down and talk it out.’
