Privet hedges remind me of council estates, you do not see it at the posher end of Sheffield.

 

You still see it at the posher end Sheffield, I was at Totley earlier today and its got loads of Privet?

Leylandii is a conifer.

 

I think privet is part of the Oleaceae Family...Genus Ligustrum

it's "mucky" stuff, IMO...I'd much rather have a wall, or a fence than a privet hedge.

 

takes a heck of a lot less maintenance, that's for sure.

 

Yeah but all those posh folk in Ecclesall and Whirlow swear by their Privet hedges..

 

And no, that's not trolling, if I had intended to troll I would've put the H in Ecclesall

There is however a Letsby Avenue, with a Police Station on it.

 

Straight up! It's out by the airport. Check your A-Z

Stations door number is 999 i suppose ??
