went to askham bryan after a levels for two years of an hnd in hort with a specialisation in arb, left there to go do an nc in arb at houghall college in durham then worked at a posh hotel in the grounds and as general dogsbody for the next two and half years before spending six months in essex in 2002 as a junior gardener on an estate, six months on the dole so i decided to set up my own business so been going six years now doing gardening and tree work. Always loved trees and the outdoors though due to all the men on my mums side of the family being gardeners or woodsmen of some description going back to the 1800's.

thats nastily quick then. i can see why matt still shudders at the thought you could have been in it the night before and that happening. As long as nobody's injured apart from the garage that did the work.

could that be one of the reasons elm was traditionally used for coffins then, xerxses? i know it was used for ships masts as it was strong and flexed enough that it didn't snap under the tension and torsion of the sails.
