Counting

Warning: This post contains 126% of your RDI of sappiness. Incredibly Sappy. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if you drowned in all the sap that will be present in this post.


Trees. We all know them. They're tall, have leaves and some even are home to birds but what you might not know about them is that they are growing menace to the working class man.
Each year the amount of trees in the world changes number. This has a knock one effect to the people whose job it is to count them. With an ever changing amount of trees in the world their job is never done.
Additionally all the relevant datasheets have to be updated which again, costs time and money.

The hardest part for a tree counters job would have to be the tree smugglers. Grant Johnson (38) is annoyed at the growing number of residents who have taken to harbouring trees.
"Well it is incredibly annoying," says Grant, "All we are doing is cataloguing the number of trees and people all around the world are hiding them in their backyards. This throws of all our data... we may as well not collect it."

But Charlie Dreaford (34) who openly admits to having trees in his backyard has this to say about the subject:
"What? Who are you people?"

Riveting stuff indeed.
This has been another report from Jeremy Hughes.
