No strong feelings either way then Phil

It's self seeded and I've never liked it as a tree but the birds love it, especially the woodpeckers. the bark is rough and cracked so i guess houses lots of insects.
I don't have a fire but do have a friend who will take any old rubbish

As an aside, I nipped out for a few holes of golf tonight and they've been cutting down so old beech trees. Some of the trunks are a good 3 to 3 1/2 feet across. Some beautiful timber slabs.
