Umm. I have never seen the ash out before the oak in Somerset. My parents have lived in the same house since 1963 and the ash at the back of their garden has never been out before the oaks each side of it. Often it hardly has a leaf even in mid May. I challenge anyone to find a relaible report of the "ash before the oak" anywhere!

There that's done it, the next twenty posts will all come with photographic proof of ash before oak
