I have a small farm. About two years ago a neighbour put up new fences round her land, but extended her boundary by about 10 yards on to my property.

My tools were stolen from a building in a ’secure’ compound where I’m working. The main contractor on the site (I’m working for a sub-contractor) employs a security firm, but when the theft took place the security guard was asleep! No one is offering to replace my tools. Can you advise me if I can get anyone to pay for them?

I recently started working for a local company and was told that I am only entitled to four weeks’ holiday in the first year plus bank holidays.

My son bought a double bed 22 months ago at a cost of £800.00 and it has completely collapsed. The shop says it is out of its 12 months guarantee and there is nothing they can do.

Our daughter’s car was parked across the road from our house when, during strong winds overnight, the garden walls of the two houses opposite collapsed on to it. I’ve been in touch with the owners’ insurance companies, but they say they won’t pay for the damage unless my daughter can prove negligence.
