This week's winner...

...is Lola! This is her winning factoid about hedges:

"In the space of five months in 2003 two men died after arguments involving disputed hedges. One man suffered a heart attack after a fist-fight allegedly erupted, and 66-year-old George Wilson was shot in a quiet Lincoln street following an argument with his neighbour over a hedge. Apparently these conflicts occur as an issue of territory: "Fortress mentality can make people obsessive about territory - to protect your habitat is a basic survival instinct.” Hedgeline has now been set up as the national lobby and support group for the victims of high hedges."
