DIY, My boggart was not posted. They are only visible at Ogden in autumn. Perhaps that's why the message I had said Thanks for THAT. :-)

A good time to ask.
The Fall, in America.
It always produces beautiful photographs and New England turns the colours of roses and russets.
Quite suddenly, I get the impression (as a one side of the pond stay at home).
Is that true, like here, this year?
And if it IS true, is it because the tree stock there is so untouched that the various species' fall times have converged to a single best time?

PS How far north did the September frost reach?
'Cos Lincolnshire is as green as Lord Stern of Brentford.

After the fall comes....winter.
pmLeader, scientists tell us that the reason that the colors of the fall foliage in New England are so intense is that there are certain minerals lacking in the soil which leads to this peculiar effect. Most years the colors are striking ranging from intense yellow, flaming orange, and bright red. Weather reports at this time of year often give the geographical areas of peak viewing at any given time. There are many highly accessable rural areas still covered with forests that present stunning panoramas but even the trees that line the city streets, yards, and parks display the same intensity. Evergreens such as blue spruce retain their year round blues and dark greens sprinkled among the deciduous trees, usually oak, maple, and elm being common. On crisp sunny days, the sky is intensely blue and the trees brightly illuminated. When you look at the sun through many which seem transparent, they take on the character of stained glass. It's a photographer's paradise.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the autumnal colourings to take hold over here in Warwickshire.
Outside my window there's a Horse Chestnut which has gone directly from green to brown, and the few trees I've spotted so far with autumnal colourings have already lost half their leaves.
I'll have to take a stroll through some local parks this week and see if I can discover any photogenic trees...

Aha. I'll try again when I can negotiate our new anti-data-loss logistics.

Is this what the BBC spend my licence fee on? These two overpaid and not in the least bit funny should be sacked.
I and most other decent licence fee payers would like our £18m back from Ross. Would he like it if someone joked about his lisp which is very irritating
If an ordinary person were to find such messages on their telephone voicemail, they would immediately call the police. Anyone found guilty of making malicious or abusive phone calls can be fined or sentenced to up to six months in prison.
Yet on this occasion, such calls were made from the studios of the BBC, and then the victim of this assault was humiliated in public by the calls being broadcast on a BBC show. And all at my expense expense.
The issue here is not just the use of profanities, but the cruelty and indeed sadism in the desire to torment an unsuspecting elderly man and his family.
This is so far beyond the pale that one has to ask whether it was fuelled by either alcohol or drugs.
If not, it suggests behaviour bordering on the psychopathic in its total absence of awareness of the effect upon another person of such abuse.
The show was not live but pre-recorded. According to the BBC, 'a senior editorial figure signed off the programme, including its strong language, before it was broadcast'.
