Proto Germanic heritage maybe, but times change, I don't think it matters two hoots anymore. Each to their own.

I didn't think I'd have to wheel this out twice:

You don't express any Christian values in your posts on here. Why does Christianity make you thankful?

You said that we're a predominantly Christian country. I was wondering if you were a practising Christian. If not, then you really shouldn't disrespect their faith by piggybacking onto it.

Do you go to church? I have no problems with Ukrainians, the second best woman I have encountered was from Kiev.

I agree that we should take in refugees. Why should Christianity be a factor? We're not the Salvation Army. Can you imagine the passion when Charles gets the throne and we all sing "God save our gracious king..."

Speaking of far right... Amazing, that the US and Ukraine were the only two UN countries who voted against a motion to "combat the glorification of Nazism, Neo-Nazism..." but here it is: "The Assembly next took up the report on “Elimination of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance”, containing two draft resolutions. By a recorded vote of 130 in favour to 2 against (Ukraine, United States), with 49 abstentions, the Assembly then adopted draft resolution I, “Combating glorification of Nazism, neo‑Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance”. https://www.un.org/press/en/2021/ga12396.doc.htm Which ties in with this: The CIA May Be Breeding Nazi Terror in Ukraine WWW.JACOBINMAG.COM The CIA has been secretly training anti-Russian groups in Ukraine since 2015. Everything we know points to the... Tin foil at the ready.

Cheers for that. The next tune that came along is pretty topical too:

Russia and China have recently announced a historic alliance that looks like it'll have some interesting geopolitical implications. Here's the full text - it's an interesting read: http://en.kremlin.ru/supplement/5770

Ha ha, who put 20p in you?

I think that the inference was that a more thorough\experienced arboriculturalist will be able to present the facts in a way that compels the LA to pay attention.

There's no link to the actual report there. Did you make a new application to fell the tree on the basis that it had been inspected and was found to pose a risk of whole tree failure? I hope you get it sorted.

I hope you get things sorted in good time. Did you get the tree inspected in detail? If your insurance company aren't helpful you might want to consider legal advice.

Don't be disheartened. I've found that people respond amicably when someone sets out their stall before them; that way there is no ambiguity and you can get to the crux of the matter. Best of luck with your quest.

Yup, but it's important to get things in context. Multiple question marks and/or exclamation marks at the end of sentence are an indicator that the person who is writing it is a little unhinged, uneducated, or unaware that they're coming over that way.

Upwards is negative geotropism, towards the light is phototropism. Also a scientist.

Sorry, what I meant was: what do think is causing all these trees to become so physiologically stressed that ivy has an opportunity to thrive? Plants are opportunists.

Why do you think there are so many unhealthy trees which succumb to ivy?
