Despite the lack of fences, the odd neighbourly dispute can still arise. The papers have caught hold of an ugly disagreement between a group of holiday cottage owners. The argument pertains to the removal of snowage from their shared road as the costs for someone to plow during the winter is to be shared among the occupants. All agreed to share the costs except for one gentleman who owns a four wheel drive, that can, apparently drive right through the snow.

The big car, cottage owning man says that he is being harrassed to share the costs and has taken the matter to a higher level.

Let's hope for an early summer...
