Jokes???

[maybelateron]

Not a joke in the usual sense, but this is 100% true. Had an "urgent" email earlier this week from the property management company that look after a housing estate (set in grounds of the old county asylum, lots of big mature trees). They sent me a photo of a 3-4 inch basal diameter branch that had dropped from a Maple, and asked me for a quote for "tree works". I decided to ring the young woman who had sent this vague request, and I asked he what tree work they wanted me to quote for, to which she replied, deadpan serious, that they wanted me to put the branch back and make it look right!!!???

Confuscus, he say: It take 100 nails to make a crib, but one screw to fill it.

Nope, not Cheddleton. She was a Brummie, and she was serious till I pointed out the error of her thoughts!
