Any turnip felling a tree in the Falklands (Malvinas) should be fined £1,000 quid on the spot or five days in Her Majesty's B&B...

Anybody not appreciaiting the shelter some few trees can offer against the wind..., ain't no Patagonian or Kelper..., which is very much the same thing...

Have a nice Weekend...
