Tree down

[Tonysmith]

Tree down last Sunday - across footpath to church. People with saws were
dealing with it. But I went home and used the main road, arriving at
church too late to join in the ringing.

Nary a mention on the parish notices at St Stephen's.

When did it come down? I hope nobody was harmed and nothing damaged.

We had a large conifer fall across the main (pretty much only) road
through this valley just on the 'outskirts' of the 'village'[1].
It was cut up and removed before I even heard about it.

[1] Most 'villages' seem to have merged into a conurbation, so you have
to be from 'round 'ere to know where one place ends and another begins.

Back in March, in the thread "What is it with people?" I described how
even though many trees had fallen in a storm across roads and railway
lines everything important was more or less clear within a few hours.

How do they do that? Contingency planning? The cutting and clearing and
taking away is not something they get a chance to practice every day.

The nearest tree down to us was reported about 4/5 times on Facebook and
a locally based tree surgeon was on his way to work in the traffic. Cut
it up and left on the adjacent pavement. Still there a week or so
later. But at least the traffic was soon moving.

The nearest one to me is about 5 yards from my front door, in the
courtyard. No human damage but one of the residents has had to put in
an insurance claim on account of a smashed windscreen. I wish "they"
would hurry up and deal with it (the tree, not the insurance) because
it's blocking the quickest exit to the road.

Is it on private property?  It's sometimes hard to know which particular
"they" is involved.

The tree has fallen into land belonging to Wales & West Housing Assoc.
but came over the wall from what I presume is Wrexham Council land.

Follow up question:  Do you have a wood-burning stove?

No!

Incidentally, I meant to mention before that I re-worded my original
intended post because of an apostrophe dilemma. I know the car
belonging to one resident is "a resident's car" and I know if there are
a few of us we are each "one of the residents" and I know if several of
us have cars they are "the residents' cars, but what about one of
several residents having one car?

I wonder if the arguments over who should pay will end up costing more
than the work involved?

Assuming the car only belonged to a single resident, "a resident's car"
seems the right answer to me - but I've lots count of the times I have
reworded a post to avoid just that sort of problem.

First, we had "The Bridge" a Swedish/Danish co-production about a body
found on the border of those countries. Then came the British/French
co=production, "The Tunnel." Finally, from Wales, in a co-production
between Wales & West Housing Association and Wrexham Council we
proudly announce..

...The Tree
(coming to a cinema near you just as soon as they've worked out who is
going to pay for it.)

Will it be set in the 60's with trunk calls ?

Dunno. I'd have to log in to find out.
