An "all the gear no idea" merchant then. Obviously not someone who's been riding bikes since they were a small kid and had to learn to sort problems like punctures out themselves. I never cease to be amazed by the ineptitude and lack of common sense in some so-called grown-ups.
Littered with sharps is in disrepair.
It's only a civil matter, so it only needs proving that it's more probable than not. I expect that a picture of a freshly-flailed hedge alongside a track covered with the clippings should pretty much prove it to that standard.How can it be proven that the paths weren't cleared and the wind hadn't blown a thorn onto the track. Or that the thorn had come from the same hedge that had been cut.
You are probably correct, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the claim in spirit. It's certainly far from laughable IMO.It's a going no where.

I had been to Halfords to have slime put in my tyres they garantee it for 2years for small punctures and will repair it free unfortunately my was a huge thorn the bill was 18pounds can you see why I am chasing this up.Being prepared for a puncture, is just something you have to accept with riding bicycles. Personally i cant be bothered to patch a tube out on the road and just carry a spare tube. I repair the punctured tube at home. I also use tyres with decent pp, so punctures are few & far between anyway.
It’s still less that the cost of just starting a small claims court claimI had been to Halfords to have slime put in my tyres they garantee it for 2years for small punctures and will repair it free unfortunately my was a huge thorn the bill was 18pounds can you see why I am chasing this up.
A photo of the bike on a branch-strewn track with one stuck in the front tyre should be sufficient for proof.How would the op prove that a puncture was caused by a thorn from the recently cut hedges . It probably was but proof is another matter
