Pink-lover sees red in DIY spat

When Louise Davies painted her garden wall, picket fence and front door bright pink she thought she was just brightening up her street.

But her efforts backfired when she threatened a neighbour who complained. Louise Davies – nicknamed 'the real-life Vicky Pollard' after the Little Britain character – ended up being fined for threatening behaviour.



The 28-year-old flew into a rage, threatening to smash the windows and wreck the car of a neighbour who warned she would report her to the council if she continued to use the 'putrid pink colour'.

Davies, of Plymouth, was given a one-year conditional discharge and told by the town's magistrates to pay £60 after pleading guilty.
