‘Conker canker’ outbreak – icWales: May 18 2008 by James McCarthy, Wales On Sunday

“IF HEALTH and safety killjoys don’t stop kids playing conkers first - a highly contagious plant disease might.

Half of the nation’s two million horse chestnut trees have ‘conker canker’ which makes the trunk split and ooze sap.

Trees can be wiped out in just two years and there is no known cure.

The Forestry Commission’s plant health head, Roddie Burgess, said: “This is an unknown bacteria and at this stage we have no idea how it got here, why it affects certain horse chestnuts and not others, or how long it takes to kill a plant.””

OK – PLAYING CONKERS IS BANNED

Improving performance

A small business was having safety problems – 2 serious accidents and an enforcement notice from the Environmental Health Officer (EHO) ! So the Managing Director (MD) called a local safety consultant one morning, and asked him if there was anything he could do to improve their performance.

“Well, there is one procedure I can recommend that will reduce accidents and pacify the EHO” said the safety consultant, “but it is really rather expensive. It will cost you £10,000 down, and payments of £1000 for 36 months, plus payments for extras of course.

“My goodness!” the MD exclaimed, “that sounds like I’m buying a yacht!”

“Humm,” the safety consultant murmured, “too obvious, huh?”
