Given our experience so far it's only natural we occasionally jump to conclusions. The junk mail on the mat this morning includes one from WWF. On the envelope it cries out 'Tigers Need Trees'.
The first thought is what SWT will make of this. Will they fasten on this as more evidence that trees are dangerous and may well contravene Health & Safety guidelines? They are probably about to embark on a winter's round of tree murder. Past justifications for these chain saw power games have included the one about women being frightened of trees because wild men might be hiding behind them. The fact that this is a standard excuse for wildlife management (oxymoron if ever there was one) was revealed when it was also used by a mad professor explaining a tree cull at Wadsley and Loxley Common. Women I've mentioned this to have been dumbfounded or incensed.
