I understand Carol and this bloke have got history and bad feeling, and anger are like cancer, unchecked they will just take over your (and their) life, it just gets worse until somebody is big enough to make the first move for peace.
Most of the worlds problems have rarely ended with violence, they are mostly ended by sitting round a table and talking.

Give out love, and you will get love back pauline..
Give out anger and hate, and you will get anger and hate back...

Again, you have explained yourself better,..imo...thank you.

If one gives out love, that does not necessarily mean, you will reap it back.

I also believe that love should be given freely....without conditions.

If love isn’t given freely....it’s not worth having.

Re: Should I do it?

I would put up a strong cattle-style gate across the drive. It's not as aggressive as a bollard, makes the property more secure and is easier to open and close without having the hassle of a key.

Or a heavy-duty chain of some sort suspended between the gateposts?

I think that would be more difficult to open and close.

A gate is difficult to for a thug like this to challenge because there are plenty of reasons people put them up. Plus it probably adds to the value of the house.

A bollard on the other hand may lead to a great deal of anger if someone doesn't realise it's there. Could even lead to a legal challenge if it's not visible enough.

I do agree with Todger here, Carol.

Going up to him like that was inviting trouble - sorry.


BTW, the chap across the road from me had his pick-up truck nicked off his drive a while back, so he put one of the fold-down posts in too.

You've just got to remember it's there if you go out after dark!
