don't want to piss on your chips or anything but...
Weed killer generally speaking, kills weeds. Not lawns.

It kills everyfuckingthing. Trust me

Ahhh, so you're a "Roundup" man
I was going to do this when I was 15 (i'm 33 now), I had it all worked out. I was going to put the weedkiller mixture in an empty washing up bottle for the actual deed.

In the end I forgot all about it. Probably for the best.

A washing up bottle you say....

They sell Roundup in those squirty bottles with a trigger mechanism and adjustable nozzle now.
Hang on...wasn't I trying to dissuade you from doing this?

You're filled with a £1 off coupon?
What a disturbing image.

how does it differentiate between one type of plant and another?
pretty sure all the weedkiller I've used has had instructions not to spray it on plants you want to keep

Although I'm writing a letter to my old letting agent
and I'm so gosh damn angry, I'm only going to put "Yours" not "Yours sincerely"

OUCH

why not put
"dear sir" and "yours faithfully"

that is truly COLD.

"yours, etc."
Cuts them dead. You can't even be BOTHERED to finish it. That's how nonplussed you are.

remind me not to get on the wrong side of you

but
then you still have to sign it. need a nice illegible signature (mine looks like a wavy line, courtesy of years doing tenant arrears letters, so they couldn't track me down and stab me)
(, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:54, Reply)
I've got a scanned version of my sig, though.
So if I'm REALLY apathetic about you, I'll just drop it in as an image and you'll never know. Take that.

Mine too
I was a cheque signatory for years and as such my signature has deteriorated into what looks like one of those hospital heartbeat monitor pulse thingies.

I don't sign things often
so mine has an enormous flourish on the end. Praise be to surnames ending in Y!

he went out of his way to keep his real name away from me.
I'm not letting him think he has won.

No form of anger sears in quite the same way
As a proper, British letter of formal complaint. Unfortunately most lettings agents are emotionally retarded and may not respond to it in the normal way.

He responded to my claim for £2780
with a transfer of £900.
These letters are saying cheers for that you still owe me £2780 though.
yours etc.
(, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 16:03, Reply)
£900 is a good start
but he's treating you like a sucker if he thinks he can just pay that and you'll wag your tail and go away.

the reality is that if you hadn't sued him, he wouldn't have paid at all.
(, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 16:06, Reply)
He's sent you £900 but still owes you the full original amount?
That's some rate of interest you're charging.

contractual sum -v- statutory penalty

That's my deposit returned
the £2780 is a penalty payment for not protecting my deposit.
but hey ho it doesn't matter the £900 has bounced over the weekend so never mind.

In my very limited experience
legal action is useful against those who wont pay, but often not worth persuing against those who can't pay.
