I wonder what Mr Monbiot thinks about the vast herds of herbivores in Africa and formerly (before white man killed em all) in the American prairies? They obviously kept the woodland at bay over vast areas.

You’ve lost me, but I admit to being thick.?

Oh I see:rolleyes:. Thanks.

I was quite surprised to see linseed meal in the supermarket. It goes quite well in flapjack.

An American tree, and I’m not familiar, but from what I can see ont interweb, the wood doesn’t look much different to our native tree.

I’ve never seen a vertically mounted number plate: what are they on about? You’d have to cock your head to read it surely? Number plates are all mounted horizontally, aren’t they? I’m baffled (doesn’t take much mind)!

Pity all that flammable material couldn’t have been burnt in a power station, instead of being left on the floor. Would that be completely impractical?

Different varieties? I very much doubt it’ll be anything other than Fagus Sylvatica.

Yeh, but if you try walking backwards you trip over!

Just not allowed I believe. I suppose what comes out of the treatment plant needs diluting.

I think the general public can relate to a Union Jack on their packaging: that’s as complicated as it needs to get. Oh, and ‘Organic’ labelling where appropriate.

Don’t ban Glyphosate, it’s an important tool for land management: not just in agriculture, but also in forestry and conservation work.

Thanks.

Just to add- it is a criminal offence (section 34 Road Traffic Act) to use a motor vehicle on a footpath or bridleway without the landowners permission.

Sounds interesting, have you a link that you could post re such a machine?
