    You can't take it from a forest but you can buy (pay) for it, and CUK folks will give you this wood you can't find you can only buy for free?

    Do you want some free beer whilst you are here collecting it?

    Perhaps my missus could slip on a racy number and stand by the back door whilst you load your van?
    Now you're getting the idea...

    There is just one thing you're missing, quite often people have trees in the back gardens - you know those green areas outside your house? Sometimes branches come off.... Hope you're keeping up with the lateral thinging... Now here is the leap of faith, sometime people give this wood away!!

    As for your mrs, feel free to post the pick up here

          Maybe gumtree? It's not an actual tree btw.

            Lateral thinging? Is that one of those sideways wotsits?
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              I'd rather burn it than give it away for free.

              Besides, if everyone burns wood, all the carbon the tree has kindly locked up from the atmosphere will be released, causing the Earth to warm and sea levels to rise and the Maldives will be gone and I'm planning on visiting there in the near future.

                  One man's crap is another man's candy. Many people PAY to have stuff removed... you never know some CUKkers might have trees blown down from the gales.
