Hi Jules,THANKYOU very much for your post and point of view. As at the start of my tread I do agree that HB is very evasive and not really commenting on that side of things, although I beleive Japanese Knotweed is far worse. The main point I am making is that the Park Rangers on that BBC News program set a bad example to children who may start ripping up other plants as well, and that it all started with them saying the plant sap burns peoples hands, which is rubbish; they must be getting mixed-up with Gaint Hogweed...! [ grown..].

I was also complaining about the dangers to cyclist and how these plants are being torn-up and just thrown all other the place. Besides.. doesen't it seen rather childish to jump-up-and down on a plant like some nutter! Thanks again Jules. Sparks
