Is this Britain's dullest competition? Entrants urged to send in snaps of their favourite FENCES | Mail Online

Watch and learn America. Britain Is the cutting edge of real drama here.

Do people actually take that much pride in their fences?

You try spending two days digging holes, putting in fence posts nailing on the rails you'd take pride in it as well.

I'd rather pay someone to spend two days digging holes, putting in fence posts nailing on the rails etc and then not give a shyte.

Some folks have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.

I suppose these machines cannot be rented in the UK for a mere $30/day?

Anyway,..I'm on the fence on this one...

I had new fencing recently around one side but I have no desire to photograph It and send It In. I like to think my life has slightly more than trying to usurp my neighbour as to who has the best fence.
