Latest attempt to get rid of my TPO 200 year old oak tree... a neighbour has "allergy issues". However if that one got chopped down we have another 25 yards away, and tree pollen drifts. He got short shrift from the tree officer at the council.
He's also been turned down for an extension running up to the trunk of it.
If you don't want a huge oak tree in your back garden, don't buy a house with a huge oak tree in the back garden.
OH has got the football on TV. It's half time and there was someone being interviewed beside the pitch. In the background, a massive sprinkler pumping huge amounts of water onto the pitch. That kind of thing makes me really resent being told to be sparing with water on the garden.

I was up in North Wales recently and there was a massive Marks and Spencers up there with a big multi-storey car park complete with landscaping and living walls. All the rainwater from the roofs was harvested and reused for watering the plants and flushing toilets. You'd be amazed how many large commercial buildings do it now and at times they need to use up the water just to free up capacity in the tanks in case of heavy rain but also because it saves them money. I'm not saying that football club would do that but you never know.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
That's exactly why they water at half time @pansyface. They want the surface slippery so the ball moves better. The players wear studs to stop them slipping.

Surely being able to play in different conditions would demonstrate more skill? Dry and brown in summer, mud in winter etc.

On another environmental and football note; The Government just responded to a petition saying
Since 2010, 364,803 football pitches of new priority habitat has been created or restored
This annoys me because football pitches are not a unit of measurement and are variable in size, and it doesn't say a) who created/restored the habitats (charities or government?) or b) how much priority habitat has been lost in that time to projects like HS2 or golf courses. Either give us the accurate net gain figures or this is just more lies from the Johnson party.

Cheshire Oaks, probably. Not been there for a long time. Maybe I'll have a look when I'm over that way in a couple of weeks.
