Trees???
- Thread starter Houseboy
- Start date
As I said. Quick with thi Gob, talks all day and says nowt.
All this over a few sodding trees
Ah yes, but from little Acorns mighty Oaks do grow.
We might just be able to branch out and really develop a worthwhile thread.
Methinks the guy's bark is worse than his bite.
Have you twigged yet? let's leaf this thread alone.
Surely even this post was worth logging on for?
We, the members should be rooting for a greater contribution from our sapling members.
O.K. I give up my head hurts, someone elses turn.
Your just larching about susie
Wood you Adam & Eve it ? Budding from his planting a question, the thread has blossomed in to something horticultural & rather high bough at times. I cedar way this is branching out so we don't need to get back to the roots & if we stick with this vine, who knows ? I think we'd be barking to stop now, so just shrub your shoulders & willownly know as we carry on if this will be an evergreen or knot.
Some deciduously dubious ones there, but hey, no need to keep it privet or beat around the bush,after all ,we're only larching about.

Time to finish, OAKy?
I agree - Too many tree puns ar bouring
If you feel that way it's Fir enough.Why all the hassle recently against new members? I just don't get it...can't see the wood for the trees perhaps...
I have just read through the posts in this thread and noted that no answer has yet been given to Houseboy's original question. I have therefore e-mailed the Baxenden councillors to see if they can shed any light on this tree-planting scheme. Seems like this might be a sensible place to start.
It's a fair coppice.
Thanks to all for your contributions on this thread, good, bad and genuinely funny. Thank you also, Less, for (I think) accepting my olive branch. Still a bit baffled as to why some people think that an offer of "peace" is somehow being "gobby" and "saying nowt" but I suppose you can't please all the people all the time.
Anyway, onwards and upwards.
Anyway, onwards and upwards.
Further to my post of 21st August I have received the following information from the Baxenden Councillors:-
"The trees were planted by Lancashire County Council as part of the tree campaign that has been running through Lancashire. There have been several complaints about the number of trees, but LCC are not prepared to do anything; they say that not all of the trees will take and that is why so many have been planted."
Hope this is helpful!

Thanks very much for this Judith. It took a while to get here but I got the answer I wanted at last. Many thanks again.
spent the time to read from begining to end, even followed the links and read them.
houseboy asked a question, got flamed off "the usual suspects", surprised,that as a newbie he wasnt put off the site, everyone joined in with the levity, and the answer was found in the end. but usual suspects managed to flex their muscles and put newbie in his place. Also the amount of rules that were "broken", when you actually compare a post to the rules themselves
newbie baiting, of the highest order, and in "my opinion" houseboy well done for not taking the bait completely, and showing a little "decorum" for want of a better word.
if you actually, read it from beginning to end, if the usual suspects, would have just left alone, ignored the thread if they had no answers, within a few posts a new member, and for anything to survive it needs new members, would have had his answer, and thought "what a nice bunch of people", instead he is now possibly thinking "sites ok, but not very welcoming"
we are accrington web, lancashire folk, we are supposed to be friendly and welcoming, its what we are known for and proud of.
i havent seen it anywhere thats says "Welcome to Lanacashire, a place where everyone natters ( then in small print, but only if we dont think your moaning, and we wont get to know you first before we try to unleash our humour on you, and our first impressions of you will be used against you forever)
As for the trees i agree with AW, i much prefer the fells!, but thats not what you asked, but you already have your answer
thats my rant, its not the opener for a discussion, argument, a verbal challenge, i haven't named anyone other than Houseboy, i don't see the point of "answering" to this, although no doubting some will, i won't, this is the last post in this thread i shall make, and therefore accuse me of what you will.
