You know what they say - you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family. Or your neighbours.

Lyndsey Gagrica, from Nottingham, has been charged with criminal damage for painting her side of a fence white.

Her neighbours paid £80 for a wooden fence to sit on top of a wall in the front garden of their home - and £172 on council planning application fees. They planned to keep it brown.

Gagrica now faces court for her decorative actions.

Neighbour relations can be awkward and even explosive when you don’t see eye to eye, but what do you argue with your neighbours over?
