The day the tree came tumbling down
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 13/05/2018
» Last week I suffered the distressing experience of watching the biggest tree in my garden be chopped down to a stump.

All the same, I felt very uncomfortable watching it being hacked away branch by branch.

A crime that’s guaranteed to raise a stink
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 07/06/2015
» Last week the Bangkok Post carried a story from Lang Suan in Chumphon province, concerning a couple who were arrested for selling unripe durian. Probably not a lot of people are aware that this is a crime, but apparently it is regarded as “deception”. Last year a Rayong orchard owner actually received 15 days in jail for this heinous offence. Mind you, some might argue that anyone who sells this smelly fruit should be incarcerated immediately for gross offences to the hooter.
