Hahaha it is 2011 you know.

 

Didn't you know that we are still stuck in the 70's here bro? Apparently. We don't got no remote control TV's yet either.

My gut feeling is that tree has had that lean for some time

Look at the kink and imagine what the tree would look like if it was pulled vertical. The top would be growing to the right- un natural methinks

 

I agree.

I would excavate a small trench along the footpath to determine root size and quantity that have been severed and take it from there.

makes me think after recommending a light reduction on an ash that had the whole sub-terrainian portion of a main buttress ripped off by groundworkers...Maybe i'll pollard it.

 

...That said i'm a great believer in tree's generally not falling down, i've seen some savagely decayed tree's stay up through storms and all sorts and ones that seem completely fine tear out big time.
