    I can go to Dumfries for £8 (75 miles).
    What trees are best to shout at? Which one's respond better?

    Me did last few bits of painting/touch up me. Then mad espresso sauna followed by cake and coffee (well, Almond and pear tarte) as we were running out of time because I decided to have a tidy at PPP. I actually found some stuff and tools I had mislaid. Funny that.

    Need to source a circular saw. That should be fun.

    Laters.

    That what I say but really it's Cleveland (originally).
    Seems shoulder problems are a North Eastern thing...

    No,that’s about 35 miles away. I’m on the bottom edge of the North York Moors.

    True, the number of sheep that you would hit driving over the moors will really dent your car's bodywork.

    Sitka spruce mostly, I shout and shout then when I come back they have cut themselves into different products and stacked themselves at roadside, very obedient.

    Not to mention when I have new ones put in the ground, I shout and shout then when I come back the next year they have sometimes grown 1m! Crazy world

    So by that logic, I could really annoy the neighbours by shouting at their Cypress Leylandii?

    Definitely, although I'm not sure that bloody stuff needs it...

    When I was a tree surgeon before I went to uni about 70% of all the work we ever did was with leylandii
