I know the motif of the man-eating-tree, as it is living in Northern American story telling. Franconian forrests are inhabited by some different creatures (Hullawetz, Büebel, Nöck, Zwerge) but trees and plants are basically seen as friendly; and triffids did not make it here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-62182772743278546422010-08-17T21:02:08.506+01:002010-08-17T21:02:08.506+01:00I love England, don't you, Simon?

I never thought I'd see the day when firemen and the police were obliged to be wussses, but it's not their fault. It's the jobsworths at Head Office who never get their toes wet.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-23595176260477424422010-08-17T20:58:19.877+01:002010-08-17T20:58:19.877+01:00Wow, fabulous!

Six inches of water built up on Eddie Beni Way and traffic ground to a halt, being directed by the hobby bobbies.<br /><br />What nobody can understand is this. The "flood" was directly outside the fire station, and lapped upon part of its forecourt. Who told the firemen that they weren't allowed to carry a pump 30 metres and clear the "inundation" away sharp-ish?<br /><br />It wasn't deep. North Lynn urchins were riding their bikes through the water, and if they stopped it reached the tops of their trainers.Eddie 2-Soxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663438334446202114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-58403062363716613732010-08-17T20:49:11.335+01:002010-08-17T20:49:11.335+01:00First cousin of triffids they are.

And this summer, the fir trees behind the bungalow were taken down. In fact, we're about due to plant some more trees to make up for it all.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-12154612771929502182010-08-16T11:03:44.174+01:002010-08-16T11:03:44.174+01:00Did anybody hear it?
