A man who trimmed his 10ft hedge into the shape of a middle finger and gained notoriety online has become so sick of the cheeky topiary he's threatened to burn it down. Richard Jackson, 64, has had the irreverent ornament in his garden in Warton, Warwickshire, for 20 years.
During that time it became popular with social media users, who like to have their pictures taken in front of it. And the controversial bush, which needs to be trimmed about four times a year to keep it in shape, has also caught the eye of local police.
But now Mr Jackson finally wants to get rid of it. "I’m fed up with it, to be honest with you," he said.
