T'was a "tree surgeons" funeral in Hull, today. By all accounts not actually a tree worker at all just a gardener. Not sure on exact details but word on grapevine was either fell out and broke back, or half fell out and got strangled by rope. A sad day for friends and family however the incident happened.

No further news, can't get hold of bloke who 'broke' the story, nowt on bbc news search.

 

How come any donut who messes up while attempting suicide by chainsaw is automatically a 'tree surgeon'?
