    Just had an interesting conversation with my son. It went like this:

    Son: I got my essay back.

    Me: How was it?

    Son: OK I think. Got a decent mark. But I think there must have been something dodgy about the conclusion.

    Me: Why? What did the tutor say?

    Son: Well ... the writing's a bit spidery but I think it says: 'The last paragraph is a Tour de France.' :loll:

        A tree was damaged by wind and I'm wondering if it's a lost cause
