Of course nobody should be doing that but people sometimes are full by these flaws, unfortunately criminals are continuing with very creative ways to full people into sending people money and its worse because it looks real because if they preach though tell systems, they will tell those information is about the travel date so it may seem more real.

Theyre sprouting from seeds and twigs gathered from the broken branches of the Sycamore Gap Tree the Iconic Tree Whose Felling Last September sparked an Ongoing Police investigation and caused a national outpouring of emotion. Tony gates is the Chief Executive of the Northumberland National park authority. He says more than 40 seedlings have already been established genetic clones which can now be planted in different parts of the country. We all felt a bit low last september when the tree was cut down. You know, such a great symbol of the northeast. We thought, maybe thats it gone forever. But raising seedlings isnt the only way the trees legacy is being preserved. A technique called grafting is also being used with nine of the 20 grafts now showing signs of life. Itll take the seedlings around 100 years to grow into full mature trees not many of us will be around to see that. But for those who missed this iconic tree, its still the best possible news a sign of hope after months of anguish and despair. For more stories i from across the uk, head to the bbc news website.
