Is this Britain's longest neighbour row? Warring pensioners in bitter boundary fight over a quarter of an acre of land that raged for 30 years and cost £30,000 each (and the losing party could still appeal)

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 23, 2024
Angela Coupe, 70, claimed she first bought 1.5 acres of land in 1972 from the Revell family, a five minute drive from her detached bungalow in Chesterfield, which she used for horses in 1974. She built a wooden post along a concrete boundary which she said had been there since the 1930s. The retired social worker and former Marie Curie nurse said she was 'horrified' when she caught her neighbour Ian Revell, 66, and his late father moving the posts in her field in the mid 1990s and approached them. But Southern Derby Magistrates' Court has now ruled in favour of Mr Revell with a judge ruling she had lied about putting up a fence.

INGRID SEWARD: I've grown to know Charles and his greatest fear will be not completing all the things he wants to achieve

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 6, 2024
INGRID SEWARD: I was immediately transported back decades to a reception he held for the media in Washington, DC, when news broke of King Charles's cancer diagnosis. One reporter asked how he felt about the dangers of being a public figure in a rapidly changing world for reasons that were lost in the dim and distant past. I have never forgotten Charles' words. He said he had always believed that if a bullet had his name on it, he would be able to handle it. And as a result, I have no doubt that he would have reported that he has cancer with the same enthusiasm. However, although there is no evidence that his illness is life-threatening, he would not be human if the mention of this condition did not evoke feelings of fear. After all, monarchs are just as vulnerable to death intimations as their subjects.

ROBERT HARDMAN: Charles will not abandon small farmers; "the backbone of the UK" will not be lost

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 11, 2023
Former Prince of Wales Paul Bond's name has been attached to hundreds of companies, one of the reasons for his being the longest-serving heir to the Throne in history (and a lazy one to boot). They range from the Prince's Trust to charities like the Samaritans or Marie Curie, of which they were patrons. This arrangement would have to be suspended as soon as he became King. At the time, that seemed to be understandable. The new Prince of Wales has his own portfolio of companies to which he is proudly attached. So who gets the King, who gets someone else and who has to go it alone? None of this was ever going to be a quick fix.
