First cases of deadly Chalara ash tree disease confirmed in Norfolk

Officers from the Forestry Commission’s plant health team have been investigating suspected cases of Chalara dieback of ash, a serious fungal infection which has caused widespread damage to forests across Europe.

The disease was unknown in Britain until early in 2012, but has been found in recent plantings of young trees supplied from infected nurseries on the continent – including at sites in Suffolk.

From Ash to Ashes.

Autumn colour: The science of nature's spectacle

This year was recently described as having the strangest weather on record in the UK, from droughts to a dull and rain-sodden summer.

But there could be a ray of light at the end of the murky tunnel.

The Forestry Commission says the elements have conspired to give us a particularly spectacular display of autumn colour.

Here, Raef Johnson from the National Arboretum in Westonbirt, Gloucestershire, explains how different species of tree put on their seasonal show.

global warming by mankind is incorrect and now they have found out why weather changes it is down to the SUN .SAMPLES from greenland prove it is down to the suns hotspots they alter ever 300 years or so .
good programe on last week excellent to watch and learn.

A fair comment by Vince Cable last night on Question Time.

Whilst discussing GDP, some of the panel and audience opined that the latest figures must be wrong and could not be trusted. Cable commented that nobody questioned the previous poor GDP figures that confirmed the double dip recession!

Can't have it both ways but some will try.

Burlusconi sentenced to 4 years for tax evasion. He can appeal twice before serving any sentence.

I doubt he will ever go to jail. He knows too much for the appeals court to rule against him.

Here’s how a doctor explains it:

A woman in her late 20's came to the hospital today with her 8th pregnancy.

She said to me, "My mum told me that I am the breadwinner for the family."

I asked her to explain. She said that she can make babies and babies get money from the State for the family.

It goes like this:

The Grandma calls the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and states that the unemployed daughter is not capable of caring for all of her kids. DWP agrees, and tells her the children will need to go into foster care.

The Grandma then volunteers to be the foster parent, and receives a cheque for £700 per child each month.

Total yearly income: £58,800, soon to become £67,200 when the 8th one is born, tax-free and nobody has to go to work!

In fact, they get more if there is no husband/father/man in the home! The brother does not count.

Not to mention free dental treatment, free housing, free council tax free school dinners, free tuition fees at college or Uni, free eye care and glasses, free prescriptions and various other benefits...etc.

Total value of all benefits combined is probably approaching £100,000 per annum, which would require an income of around £148,000 to create.

That's about my salary as a senior consultant with years of experience and surgical skills in a central London teaching hospital.

Indeed, Grandma was correct that her fertile daughter is the "breadwinner" for the family.

This is how the politicians spend our taxes. When this generous programme was invented in the '60s, the Great Society architects forgot to craft an end date... and now we are hopelessly overrun with people who vote only for those who will continue to keep them on the dole...

No wonder our country is broke!

Worse, our Muslim brothers have been paying attention, and by mandating that each Muslim family have eleven children, they will soon replace the voting bloc above and can be running this country.

Are we alarmed yet, is anybody listening?

Sincerely,

Chuckles.

Wait for Q4 employment figures (Number of hours worked, rather than (employed and fiddled by using "part time employment" and "self employed" figures).

Although I wish it different, I will be surprised if GDP is higher.

this is me. yes it is terrible but the voters in the uk are stupid and turn a blind eye
and the reason for doing so is because they are stupid people .
the uk is now a nation of simpletons .
and the all MPs are to scared to speak out or do the job at hand stop family allowance now after second child .and make parents responseable for there children and make them pay .
