We are. Who do you think pays for government stats?

Whilst standing on her head!

A man with a chainsaw cut down Scrumpy's trees
She smiled at him sweetly, and offered a cup of tea
So  he sat down on the bench
And thought - " Phew, what a wench
She'd do me nicely yer see."


His lad got up and said ' Blimey Guv'
'I do believe you're in love'

Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 04:45:33 PMI reckon it was the lippy wot done it..

I have learned that a Silver Birch.. Aspen.. are not good trees to grow in a regular garden..
They keep growing and growing... and are fast at it ..
They should be at least 50ft away from property.. Their roots can cause much damage..
I won't bother with another.. The guy took them down just above ground level.. He told me to grow something smaller and easier..

He had already priced my neighbour's job to over a thousand..
He just drove his shredder from my neighbours house to mine ... Left the garden tidy.. Brilliant..

Brilliant.    You were really lucky.  

It took them long enough,  but it was on our local news tonight, too.

Flo called at the vicarage to see
If the vicar would come to tea
Scones with strawberry jam
Finger sandwiches filled with ham
That afternoon at half past three
