I took it as 37hrs a week.

It's a birch though, it'll have a bit of a tantrum and die off. Pops etc., then aye, they'll go crackers.

There's no point in phased reductions. The soil moisture will ultimately balance out whether you deck the tree in a oner or remove it over time. If the tree is younger than the house/conservatory, heave is very unlikely. Without knowing the properties of the soil and site it's impossible to assess it.

So why do you oppose lockdowns then? They evidently work. The Scottish government have done things in your best interests if you go down that path.

Ok mate, it's unsuprisingly whizzed over your head. Who do you think wrote the software that runs the gizmo you're typing on? Do you think they may have been experts? You cherish limited freedoms yet you oppose a lockdown? Explain that to me as I must be having a brain malfunction.

Peer reviewed science is the reason you're able to write this ^ comment on the interweb. Media is powerful unless you critically review it, then you can make an informed choice. Even then it's powerful, because people don't know how to critically review things. (science).

I've just had a letter through saying that I've got a knee operation in a couple of weeks. I have to self isolate for two weeks, then have a covid test two day before the operation (as does the consultant). It seems like the medical 'experts' think these things are worth doing. It staggers the imagination that people dismiss science.

Canny irresponsible to have visited families if you didn't need to before rules were relaxed. If you or loved ones mental or physical health was in peril then that would be a fair reason in my book. People made massive sacrifices. It must be rubbish watching your business wash away when England is 'back to work'. I really do undertand your frustration. I think they're playing with lives though. I know that most people, it seems, are going to be able to survive it. It just makes sense to contol it for the sake of the vulnerable. Personally I'd prefer Sturgeon in charge, but I have a thing for small ginger women. If they'd locked down hard at the start of all this we'd be free(er) by now. Instead we've got the perpetual threat of mass lockdowns.

A guy went into a French seafood restaurant and asked to see the dishes of the day. The waiter wheeled over a trolley with a large tank full of various species, and the man examined the dishes. "I'll have the little green squid with the hairy lip, please" said the man. "An excellent choice, they have a delicate, mild flavour." replied the waiter and called out "Gervais!" A little French chef appeared with a large knife, the waiter instructed the chef to kill the little green squid with the hairy lip. Gervais was just about to slice at the poor squid when he noticed a tear running down its face. Gervais is touched, and admitted that he hadn't the heart to kill the squid. "Not to worry" says the waiter, and called out "Hans!!" at which an enormous German bloke came out of the kitchen. "Sir", said the waiter, "This is Hans, the dishwasher. Hans kill that little green squid with the hairy lip!" The dishwasher wielded a huge rolling pin and was just about to bludgeon the little green squid with the hairy lip when it cringed back and gave a little cry. "I am sorry sir, I just cannot kill the squid" Hans admitted, his lower lip trembling. "Well sir," said the waiter, "it just shows...... That Hans that do dishes, can be soft as Gervais, with mild green hairy lipped squid...

Aye. Always have a look at the width of a hedge before you price it.
