The people aked should be the people close to it and the customer base
(you don't go to a Tesco 150 miles away).

But if we are going to take democratic votes about planning matters I
want to be able to vote.
If I am allowed to vote then everyone should be able to vote.
If I am not then neither should others.


I think that the basis Stalin used in Russia.

If Dennis can't vote in Russia, then nor should Russians.

ROFL! Couldn't have put it better myself.

Couldn't we send Dennis to Russia?

Assuming Dennis weighs 12 stone...... oh dear:

I wonder if I should fill it in and see what they say - contents "live human".

I don't think we need the £2,500 insurance quoted at the bottom.

I have a sizable Yew tree that will need to come down to make room for an
extension. It's been suggested that Yew wood is much sort after by the
woodworking fraternity. Any idea of it's worth? Main trunk is perhaps 20"
diam and the is 8 ish foot before it branches, and the braches are
reasonably sizable. It would be nice to be able to offset the felling costs
against the value of the timber. It is rather close to the house and to a
bridge so it's not the easiest tree to bring down.

It depends on the grain. Ifi t is "burred" (ie lots of little knots)
then they make veneer out of it. *If it has no knots, there are quite
a few bowyers about these days. *The wood has to be sound and straight
grain.
Most English yew trees have some form of rot in them. Our yew bows of
old came mostly from France.

The French sold the English the bows they got killed with?

I have cut a few yew trees down, never found one of any value, ended
up as firewood (excellent).
If it is an easy felling job, a firewood firm may do the job for
nothing.

Best contact a bow maker for the real gen. A timber mill will grade
and price it in situ and may even remove it too. So might the bow
maker.

If it's rotten it may be OK for use as the yew my have a good strength
gradient or whatever the term is. If the tree is so poisonous it won't
be attacked by fungi but they do die a bit at a time.

If the bowmaker isn't interested, a furniture maker will be. If he
isn't then some hobbyist with a lathe might like it. Most towns have
an archery club you can contact for better advice.
