To ask the vicar!?

[howmuchwoodwouldawoodchuckchuc]

...... to sort out their tree!?

Over the weekend, the High winds caused a branch to literally crack and hang down - the tree is in the graveyard, situated behind our house. Our house is lower than the graveyard and the tree hangs over us:

The branch that is hanging is around 20ft long, the branch width is around 3ft - so it's a big blighter!

I don't want it to take out the fence when it eventually drops.

The vicar says it's not the churches responsibility (?) and that hallowed ground belongs to the local council... but the council say they don't own this bit of land.

Aibu to think, the vicar is trying to get out of paying for a tree surgeon?

A well-performed chainsaw tree ballet truly is an art form

It certainly beats interpretative dance - but where is my squirrel.

(I like your quiet neighbours . . . )

Your diagrams are amazing and funny glad the tree is being sorted

More MN diagrams please! I'd get one on a t shirt

I agree that is the best diagram ever. I want a naice ham t-shirt.

I've got a Naice Coffee mug (I literally won a thread once) but I'm sure the OP could design a nicer one.

OP, these are the best MN diagrams I've ever seen. I actually snorted at "Dave" glad the tree is being sorted!

@MNHQ immediately hire the OP and we will buy many MN branded articles. MANY.

Holy cow, those diagrams are stunning! I would totally buy them on cards!

Brilliant diagrams 😁

I have no advice about the tree, but I love your diagram.

Also, I freak out a bit when I walk past a grave yard that is 6ft + higher than the path, because it means the bottom of the graves are at the same level as the path i'm on. So how you live like that I don't know.

Excellent diagram. I’m sure that’s why it was sorted so fast.

I would wear a tee-shirt illustrated by you, woodchuck - even without the squirrel .

sussuration (lovely word!). Don't worry about the graves being at the same level of the path. Most of the very old graves have a few in, so quite a lot of them will be on a level with your head . . .

So.....
I'm thinking I should email mumsnet with a merchandise proposal!!

Yes OP this could be excellent!
Do you think you could do one with Snapped and Farted?
There's loads of potential for phrases that would mean something to MNers.

Do it! That would be amazing!

Amazing diagram!

I would definitely try your hand at some cartoons op very funny text and clear and concise drawings

You totally should - your drawings are ace!

I love the diagrams OP, you've set the bar high now!

I'd buy an I'm Angela Hernandez t-shirt. But would I get sued by the real Angela Hernandez?

Amazing diagram
Yabu to live next door to a grave yard 👻

Ok.... honest thoughts??

Love the impossible to open "Naice ham" . Getting a bit worried about the penis beaker...

You're a genius!!

Loving these merch ideas.

How about Naice Ham on a reusable shopping bag? That would be awesome.

I don't think I'd wear a t-shirt but notebooks, cards and shopping bags would appeal to me.
