Hello!
“All the world’s a fence.”
Like doubts, we all have them or know someone who has them.
What does your Fence say about you? Phantom Decker? Patio Poseur ? Wind Damaged? In Need Of Creosote?
Who knows? Who cares!
Here is the Fence of a famous person. Can you guess who it belongs to?
See below for the answer!
The History Of The Fence – Part1
The history of the fence is the history of humankind.
Fences date back to 64,365 BCE to ancient Mesopotamia. Interestingly, the earliest known gate appears in 23,687 BCE again in Mesopotamia.
The sadly rotted “Great Fence Of Sumer” was constructed in 8,456 BCE by King Ibetshesalezzer to keep his concubines, porcupines and woodbines safe from marauding Pirates from the East (who themselves would adopt Fence technology in later centuries). The Great Fence was said to be so big and woody that it could be seen from outer space. A bold claim.
OK! Whose Fence Is That Above?
Prince Charles!
Here is an exclusive picture of His Royal Fenceness enjoying his Fence (looks like he is about to hop over it to do a spot of scrumping in next door’s garden!)
He goes everywhere with his sausage
If you have any photos of fences of the famous please keep them to yourself!

One of my fences says my neighbours should get a new bloody fence. Like living next door to Steptoe’s backyard
Sorry to hear that – they don’t have a canoe by any chance?
No tall fences like that immediately around me, then again, none of them have sausages on their head.
Watch out Frank…….before you know it they will be there!
Sausages, fences, both, or Prince Charles?
First it was the fence……..(This could be a movie with Kevin Bacon playing Charles)
The latter would be more alarming than the fence.
I LOVED this and learned something too! Who knew Prince Charles could leap like that?
He was a dab hand at the high jump Susie!
You’re attacking the poor defenseless again lol.
Oh deary me lass! Love it!
He built that fence to keep zombies out didn’t he?
Or in…….!
His job is something to do with de fence of de Realm, isn’t it?
No Of fence meant I trust?
Must keep out the riff-raff…….
Arise Lady Andrea!
Arrrgh the dreaded Fence Off… The History of the Fence has been within our History books from the days of old..
When neighbours would hang out their washing and with hands on hips hanging over the fence as they turned their ear to the tickle tackle of the day….
The tickle tackle could lead you into some very muddy water, ( Known as the Moat ) to those Knights of Princely station!.. And then Gossip could cause a war didn’t you know..
So the once easily hung over fences are now erected ever higher in the attempt to block the knaves from peeping over at TOM and his BBQ sausages often burnt from the fires of Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,The Queen of the house…
Who now hangs out the washing on a circular contraption similar to the round table…
But alas no knights are around when it blows over in the wind, and the draws get dashed against the fence .. This is not a sign of truce however, Ney! this is a signal long held in the tongues of the North when The Knight finally arrives on the scene minus his white charger and helmet bidding the Queen not to get her pantaloons in a twist over something easily fixable…
Thus ends the tale of the Fence

A cautionary tale with lessons for all of us Sue!
This is better than Through the Keyhole. I was plumping for Vanessa Feltz. I obviously don;t know my fence from a brick wall.
We live and learn Joe
