Moment neighbour launches foul-mouthed rant at couple after dumping hedge clippings in their garden – who's in the right | The Sun
FOOTAGE shows two farmers apparently having a foul-mouthed squabble with their neighbour after he "dumped his hedge trimmings on their land".
Rosie Howes and her partner Scott Brame were furious after the man allegedly left the mess on their 200-acre farm in Norfolk on April 9.
Rosie, 27, took it upon herself to throw the cuttings back onto his side, which resulted in a fiery confrontation.
A video, shared on TikTok, shows the couple collecting large piles of trimmings using their tractor and chucking them over the fence.
Their neighbour, who lives in a £1million farmhouse, then approaches while an on-screen caption reads: "Clearing up the nice neighbour's hedge after it was dumped on our side without permission."
The man appears to be complaining but can barely be heard over the noise of the machinery, so Scott cuts it off and Rosie yells: "You dumped it here."

He replies: "Every year you leave it a mess, you have no right to do that."
Scott, 30, can then be heard saying: "You have no right to dump it on this side."
The neighbour responds with: "You have never helped with the hedge whatsoever."
Scott gets him to repeat what he said, then exclaims: "This is your hedge mate."

The neighbour gives in with quiet "I know", to which Scott asks: "So what the f*** are you doing cutting it and dumping it on this side?"
The man then says: "You don't give a monkey's. You never never cut that side there."
Scott reasons: "Why should I? It's your hedge," before the neighbour claims: "It's not, it's your grass you leave all that weed."
"I'll leave what I f***ing" want," Scott bites back.
"You're such a rude f***ing person," the neighbour retaliates seconds before Scott replies: "Am I really? What the f*** are you gonna do about it?"
The row gets fiercer when the neighbour retorts: "What are you gonna do about it?", and Scott blasts: "F***ing more than you, you f***ing four eyed c***."
The neighbour then says: "Right, well I can put it back if necessary."
Rosie intervenes, insisting they will keep dumping trimmings onto his land, and he can call the police if he wants to.
The neighbour begins to storm off, shouting: "Oh p*** off, you nasty piece of work," before Rosie replies: "No, we're not nasty pieces of work."
The man then launches a final bizarre insult, saying: "You're a miserable stinking person," before adding "Yes, f*** off."
The hedge was planted a long time ago. It's is his side of the fence.
The video has amassed more than 14,000 likes and over 1,800 comments from users who were divided over Rosie's approach.
One user wrote: "The hedge is on his side of the fence.
"Even if you cut it, you are legally allowed to put the cuttings on his side."
Another said: "You are completely right, however a little less language to the guy might have been better.
"Let the guy embarrass himself to the authorities."
While a third commented: "Just returning their property as any good neighbour would."
Speaking after the clip went viral, Rosie said: "The hedge was planted a long time ago. It's on his side of the fence.
"He had the cheek to leave his cuttings outside of that.
"The relationship with this neighbour has always been mutual until this.
"His reaction was funny to me. I haven’t seen him since the incident."
Speaking to MailOnline, Scott added: "I don't usually make a fuss, but I had a short fuse that day because we had been busy lambing.
"We had literally nearly finished lambing and I had been doing 18-hour days, so he got it with both barrels.
