Quarter of Homebases to close

Yes and a lot of people are told they can't do something or a warned against it.

Here at work I've been told that those in recepttion (females) can't carry parcels only post so it's my job to collect the parcels. If they ask me just once more I'm going to attach a label to myself saying "I'm as useless as a women", see how that gets to thier PC equal oppotunities and equal pay for equal work works out.

They could cut the grass and hedges - and clean the windows!

If the landlord could supply a mower or use yuor nail scissors and if you live upstairs is not always easy to clean the windows.

My local Argos (and many others) is now an 'Ebay collection point'

At some point all these various 'final mile' delivery services will amalgamate and become something like a 'post office'.

Although Post Offices in the UK have never been very keen on being a pickup point (ie real postoffice boxes rather than ones which are just a redirection to somewhere else).

No idea, never been to one.

I'm surprised by the number of them.

There's seven trees been removed from our garden in the last week, and

No fines, no reason for fines.

Of course not. Unless trees have TPOs on them, you can do whatever you like with them, including cutting them down. Whisky-dave must be a mate of harrys.

Unless you are in a conservation area.

Or you are in a conservation area, where you have to notify the LA of work you intend to do to trees

I see you missed the point. No suprise there. Just because a tree is in your garden it does NOT mean you own it or can do what you want with it.

That was my point you actually need to know if your cutting a tree down. If you don;t know then you could be fined.

You're right. I went by your drunken ramblings, not what you "meant".

If you own the garden then, yes, it does.

But nor does it automatically mean you can't.
