A mum was left fuming after receiving a "petty" note from her neighbour who compared her front garden to "Steptoe's Yard".
Georgia Washy, from New Holland, Lincolnshire, was accused of ruining the road due to the mess created by a trainer in her garden.
The note she received reads: "How much longer do we have to look across at your Steptoe's yard on the front of your house, this use[d] to be such a nice road."
The insult refers to a BBC sitcom about a father-and-son rag-and-bone team who struggle to make ends meet and have a yard full of furniture, tyres and scrap metal.
The woman, who works full-time and has a baby, said on a Facebook group for locals that she recently moved her horses as they were on land that was not safe for them.

The objects in the trailer are her horses' belongings and she said she only found a new place for them last Saturday.
Ms Washy wrote: "To the absolutely numpty in new Holland that left this with no indication of where they are from… knocked on doors with no response.
"IF you’re regarding to the trailer in the front with bits and bobs in, I had to move my horses literally OVERNIGHT because they were on land that essentially was poisoning them and if they’d have stayed longer perhaps died.
"The things in the trailer are my horses belongings. I’ve only found them a place to settle this Saturday just gone."
Adding that she is busy with her work and her life as a mum, she added: "I work full time and have a baby, I can’t work any more of a miracle than I do.
"Maybe consider that people have things going on before leaving anonymous, passive aggressive messages.
"Oh and if there’s a problem, MOVE HOUSE. Or get a grip and talk to me face to face."
Several people in the group shared the woman's outrage, with one branding the neighbour who left the note "rude".
A person commented: "Don’t explain yourself. This says more about them then it does about you. Leaving a note asking if you needed any help with anything could have been more helpful maybe."
Another group member added: "Clue is in the 'Steptoe's Yard'.... it's an older generation saying."
