That implies it was healthy, and therefore the NT is unlikely to have been negligence.
Still worth talking to them, as they have the staff, kit, and end use for the wood, they may agree to clear it on a 'without prejudice' basis, i.e. not admitting liability, even if they will not pay for the fence.

iIt is worth remembering that just because a tree has been blown over does not mean it’s dead. The mass buzz sawing of trees post 1987 was largely a fuck up. This was highlight by Oliver Rackham.

Tree maintenance is a victim of cutbacks.
Which, of course, is ridiculous because the whole point of maintenance is that it actually saves you money in the long run. Thanks, short-term government spending plans!

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
My roofers of choice have just been with a frigging drone which they sent up to examine my roof with one of them controlling it standing on top of the van. The boss held an ipad so we could both watch, it was awesome.
It's raining lightly here and I am even more amazed than drones can operate in the rain I would have been a definite vote for no.
However roofers definitely can't and we will have to wait until probably Wednesday before they can sort out the loose ridge tiles.

Franklin followed by Gladys. Looks like they're naming them after Soul singers.

A good amount of wood - for a year's time. Season it well when you finally get someone with a big saw for less than £400 an hour.
Posted this elsewhere but this is my friend's garden, pic taken from drone.

heckling from the back!
When I visited "The Mouseman's Village" some years ago, and looked at the slabs of Oak in storage / air-drying / seasoning one of the joiners told me that fater the 1987 storm most of them were sent off with cheque books to buy up all the suitable fallen timber.
I suspect that might be happening again ...

The headline or the article? If it’s the article, of course it is. It’s the news.

The article. They are talking about storm Franklin which hasn't arrived yet do it should be present or future tense not past tense.

I was working for Railfreight in 1987 and we got a huge amount of fallen timber traffic - the softwoods went to paper mills , but the good quality hardwoods found a ready market overseas - shipped via the Train Ferry in those days to France and Belgium for presumably furniture making. Much loading out of Chichester , Rochester and Crawley......"ill wind etc" .......

It hit the roof. No damage visible inside but we'll see in the morning.
There'll be a few slates missing but no structural damage visible so far

The flood warnings in manc have only being issued today so the mosque and sports center(?) are being used as refugee centers not were being used etc

Flood warning is still likely to be in force then what with the extra rain overnight. So any shelters will still be in use.

That article is dated Sun 10pm ish. It has been edited since I first commented on it with more added to the article in the correct future tense. Shame they couldn't be arsed to correct the earlier grammatically incorrect crap.
