This seems sensible to me!............ to you?
Why am I getting worried where this is leading to ?
I don't really know what to say Alan, it depends and it depends. If they were taking over an area of ancient heathland, then rip them all out, I can't say I agree they are getting out of hand, they have been here a wee while now. If they are a problem in a specific area, then maybe they should be dealt with, otherwise leave them be..............Jon
