I didn't see the programme but saw it advertised and admit to thinking "whatever next". I read yesterday that some "Tree of the Year" cash has been made available to save a rare 120 year old Huntingdon Elm here in Sheffield which is embroiled in the current furore going on about tree cutting in one of the suburbs. I have mixed feelings about the matter. I love our city trees and don't want to see mature trees cut down, but when they were planted years ago, no one gave a thought to their roots pushing up through the pavements and causing all sorts of other structural problems, so I have some sympathy with the council (and that's a first!).
What did you you think you would have by your current age that you don't?
Unused rooms, heat storage and heat transfer
