Gaz lives in Nottingham, near Sherwood forest, home of Robin Hood. The tree you see, above, is Major Oak; which is somewhere around a thousand years old, judged by it's size of 52 feet tall, 92 feet across, with a 35 foot waistline in it's trunk. Legend has it that Robin Hood hid inside the hollow centre of Major Oak.

I had mentioned, in a PM, that I had visited Major Oak back in the early '80's when I took a motorcycle vacation in England/Scotland.

There had been an arson fire in the '90's and for a while the tree's survival was in doubt. But it made it. Someday I hope to visit it again.

Inquiring minds want to know....is it easier to type "AFAIK" than "As far as I know"? Just wondered 8)
