The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
Right, so last week a big tree was uprooted on my work site and fell across a path so that you can't walk that way - this is no big deal as there is another path which you can use instead.
This morning when I came onto site there were 5 cones and some stripy tapes around the tree! I just cannot think of a valid reason why the site would do this. I can think of a few potential reasons which are all slightly ridiculous seeing as we are all adults on this site....
1. We are going to trip over a huge tree as we may not have seen it - I think only somebody severely partially sighted would have this problem as it is a very big tree - and would cones help in this scenario? 2. Maybe they think we are going to try and climb over a muddy wet tree in our smart work clothes so we don't have to take the slightly longer path? 3. The cones are telling us to not 'play' on the tree at breaktime? 4. The cones and tapes are to prevent the tree moving if it is windy again? Think not...
maybe they were getting ready to cut it down? orrr maybe we live in a crazy crazy world where noone can any longer think for themselves and can sue others for things they do to themselves (for example, tripping over a giant ass tree.. not that i know it has a giant ass - hmm, we need a picture of said tree and cones)
Umm... I shall try tomorrow morning when I go in. We are actually not allowed to take photos on site due to it being a nuclear licenced site, but I'm sure nobody will notice me with my mobile phone!
I vote for option 3! Although I think that if they're going to stop you from playing on the tree then they should provide a proper playground for you instead. With swings.
It's possible that they just don't want the tree to escape. They can be quite wilful, sometimes. Or maybe they're worried that someone will steal it, so it's a security measure!
Aha! I think I've sussed it! What they're worried about is that it may have mutated, due to having spent many years growing at a nuclear site & it now may act in a similar manner to the Whomping Willow in Harry Potter. Make sure you don't get too close!
Ah, I see you're in Brissle, so it must be a Hinckley Point tree unless there are other nuclear sites that are hidden by the government near Brissel too?

There's Oldbury Power Station and Berkeley as well, near to Bristol. I work at Berkeley! I take it you are at Harwell??

Yes, you're right - very clever! I don't actually work on the site (but my pass allows me in) and the site boundary is about 30 meteres from the building I work in. Not much nuclear stuff at Harwell these days, its all gone business park now. Although the Diamond Light Source thingy at RAL has sparked things up a bit.

Ooh ooh, I know what that is. (Honest, I didn't just google it!)
Diamond Light Source is a new scientific facility currently being built in South Oxfordshire on the Harwell Chilton science campus. This giant machine, called a synchrotron can be described as a series of ‘super microscopes’. It is housed in a futuristic doughnut-shaped building which covers the area of 5 football pitches. Diamond will ultimately host up to 40 cutting edge research stations, called beamlines, supporting the life, physical and environmental sciences.
