RIP Hexham tree.
« on: September 28, 2023, 12:34:26 PM »
Quote
Northumberland National Park Authority said it "had reason to believe" the "iconic North East landmark" had been "deliberately felled".
Well, duh! It's obviously been chainsawed.
Very sad.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

They should put up a sign saying "More open than usual", as did the owner of a bombed-out shop during the blitz.

The question of what to do with the little scrote arises, if he's convicted. Chainsaws and intimate appendages spring to mind, but seriously, a few hundred hours of "Community payback", planting trees and general environmental work, might be a good idea. At 16, he's probably not an irretrievable ne'er-do-well.

Should I be worried that as I read, I heard it in my head in the voice of one Agnes Brown.

A bit misguided, perhaps, but hardly an eejit. He did what I hope the NT will eventually do officially. I'm not keen on the coppicing idea - it won't look right.

"It's a load of politics and legal jargon" are the words of an eejit.

A bit of an eejit to think he could just go and plant a tree somewhere without permission from the land owners and to then say it is all a load of politics and legal jargon.

Well, ok, a bit of an eejit - but a nice one.

Well meaning for sure, but still a bit of an eejit to think he can do that.
