Hedge Rage?

This is either something I just haven't noticed, or else it's an American newspaper making up strange stories about Britain in the same way the British claim every American has an arsenal of firearms in the closet...

Anyway, according to the New York Times, there is an epidemic of hedge rage tearing Britain apart. Apparently neighborly disagreements regarding hedge maintenance have been turning bloody. There is even a lobbyist group known as "Hedgeline" founded by a man described as "a hero to the fledgling hedge-dispute empowerment movement". Wow.

Slightly exaggerated, but absolutely true nonetheless. There is pretty much a rage for everything nowadays in the UK. In my opinion this is caused by the fact that we we all live in very close proximity to each other (we are an Island afterall and land is a limited commodity).

As a complete stranger on my lunch break I will explain how I got here:
