But generally I am a bit of a tree hugger. I remember in mid 1990s a car with 5 teens crashed into a tree. The doors locked on impact and all 5 burned alive - as did the tree. I felt more sorrow for the tree - after all the kids were driving too fast. I suppose we all make mistakes and they were unlucky that their mistake had bad consequences. But why did the tree have to die?Comment

I remember they had recently installed traffic calming measure around the accident site. there were pedestrian islands. People used to park between them. I reckon they served round the parked car and lost control. one could argue that traffic calming killed those 5 kids. if one was very warped.Comment

One mob of southerners even started their "New Residents Association" devoted to keeping their own house prices up by contesting planning applications made by locals. Twunts.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
