I wonder if Angus uses BT for his telephone service. If so, he may have 
received, or be about to receive, the following communication from them:

-----------------------------------------------------
To help the environment and reduce the millions of paper bills we 
produce every year, we are upgrading our online billing customers to 
paper-free billing in the coming weeks.

We will upgrade you to paper-free billing shortly after 10-MAR-08.

You may receive one more paper bill before your paper-free billing comes 
into effect.

Once you’ve been upgraded:

- We'll continue to send you an email when your BT bills are ready to 
view and pay online. - You can view up to six months' bills online, 
including calls made up to the previous night. - Your Direct Debit or 
Monthly Payment Plan agreements won’t change. - You'll be helping the 
environment by reducing the amount of paper we use. - The Woodland Trust 
will plant a sapling on your behalf. Over 500,000 saplings have already 
been planted by BT customers going paper-free - that's equivalent to 500 
full size football pitches!
------------------------------------------------------

You're fond of trees, Angus, as the owner of an "unmanaged" woodland, so 
doubtless, if you use BT, you will be absolutely delighted with this 
help you will be giving the environment and the fine work the Woodland 
Trust will carry out on your behalf :-))

I have already written to BT about this.

We have 5 BT lines which we shall consider changing to another
supplier.

So where have these 500 football match pitches of trees been planted?

And have they saved the taxpayer money in grants or were they being
planted anyway and it just a con?

That's something I'll be taking up with BT.
