Pensioner hurled slugs over neighbours' fence in year-long war over garden trellis

A grumpy pensioner waged an amazing year long hate campaign against her next-door neighbours because of an argument over a garden trellis.

Ann Taylor, 66, hurled snails and slugs into the back garden of retired warehouse manager Mr Window and his wife Nita, 62, after they objected to having trellis attached to their fence.

Taylor even began hurling insults at lung cancer sufferer Tom Windowsaying: "You haven't got long to live - why don't you die now." She also blocked the entrance of the Windows' driveway with her car .



Taylor would even fix a pair of pink washing up gloves on pole in her own garden - so it would show her long suffering neighbours the V sign.

But yesterday Taylor was under the threat of a jail term after she was banned from contacting the Windows under the terms of a restraining order.

She was also ordered to pay £250 costs after being convicted of harassment and criminal damage.
