Will pop on over to yours to find out. BTW ranting away is fine here in the comments, that's what I'm here for!<br /><br />Anna - that's just plain mad!<br /><br />Angie - good point, I'll email them a link to this post :)<br /><br />Carrie - you flatter me! The idea just popped into my head whilst I was thinking about what to write :)<br /><br />Dawn - another flatterer :) I'm sure it's been thought of before, but perhaps more of our towns and cities need to do something like Malvern and Bristol do?<br /><br />Monica - I think most of the costs are in the costs for putting the tree up and taking it down, but yes, it does seem rather excessive doesn't it? It is 30 ft high though...VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-45461793759246416072009-12-20T14:13:20.015+00:002009-12-20T14:13:20.015+00:00Man, I don't know where city planners shop, bu...Man, I don't know where city planners shop, but I could have hooked them up with a sizable fake tree for waaaay less! ;-)Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-30418274302085790222009-12-20T13:02:38.994+00:002009-12-20T13:02:38.994+00:00I am going to start a 'VP for President' c...I am going to start a 'VP for President' campaign immediately.

We recently went to a concert where we had to hand in the top off a bottle of mineral water because of health and safety rules. Never mind if I had tripped whilst carrying it, a passer-by sneezed into it or I knocked it over tapping my feet to the music. Celebration trees=common sense but sadly it often seems to be in short supply :(Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-69454347118398525722009-12-19T18:14:08.187+00:002009-12-19T18:14:08.187+00:00Grrr, this makes me so mad.

On 19th November <b>millions</b> of gallons of water rushed past and the dear tree still stands - without guy ropes, bless it!<br /><br />In the interests of "Health & Safety", two huge Copper Beech trees have been felled in the garden of Wordsworth House (National Trust). Not because of the flood water, but because they <b>might</b> have become unsafe and there is a nearby footpath so, hey ho, let's get the chainsaw out and destroy decades of growth just in case someone walks near them. Sorry to hijack your comments, just get a bit insensed by this sort of thing.BilboWagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913801147278606148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-24065327372829376712009-12-19T17:31:31.124+00:002009-12-19T17:31:31.124+00:00Your solution is brilliant and rather logical.
