My idea is to create a web site and post the pics of what happens in my yard. Legal?
How about setting up a speaker and a really bright light and just as they start peeing put the light on and shout at them "What the f&ck do you think you are f&cking doing"

Guaranteed that they will end up peeing over themselves and unlikely to return.

Alternatively have a garden hose ready and when they start peeing put the hose on and soak the bstards.

Perfectly legal in the UK. The important fact is that this is your own property and that you are a private citizen acting in a private capacity.

However, I would also recommend keeping a timed/dated log, supported by the photos, and present the dossier to the powers that be (police and local authority). And don't let up providing this evidence, and hassling them, until they do something.

All you really need are a few motion-sensor equipped sprinklers.

You'd just end up with muddy wrestling drunks as opposed to normal drunks. Of course.... you might get muddy wrestling lady drunks... Bah... it's a longshot at best.

Security lights will generally stop people peeing, set up your security cameras to go on at the same time and you'll have any evidence if they try to do anything else...

Why can't you take a picy of anyone, anywhere and post it? Paparazzi do it all the time and they even lie about the person in the picy. You have no expectation of privacy out in the public especially when you're draining dragon in someone's back yard.That's Granny's legal position and i'm sticking to it.

Celebrities are different than normal people in this respect beacause they are public figures.

If i have read the Constitution correctly it states, in no uncertain terms, that draining dragon on someone's lawn is an exception to the rule. That draining person has given up his right to privacy and may be picy'd And posted for ever and ever, or until such time that Granny gets bored of the above aforementioned thingy. FACT! If you expose your toot-a-loo in front of Granny you certainly have no expectation of privacy. You will, at very least, be posted on my wall.

My Grandfather, and he really is insane in the head (I've still never met him), used to have a problem with local kids jumping over his wall, and attempting their own Zorro signs against it.

The solution came in the form of broken milk bottles melded to the top of the wall, and (if my memory on this is correct) the thought of using live stripped metal wires(!), plugged into the mains electricity, ready for the first attempt at a splash. The latter an attempt that was abandoned.

You say "insane" like it's a bad thing.
