Any value in feeding it back to them? If they're not told, then he'll keep getting away with it with you and others. He may well have his opinions about the likes of us, but he can and should still maintain a professional composure in a public facing role while representing his employers.

It would be interesting to know why they felt the need for an "up to date" recording of this gorgeous piece of classical guitar music, they added bass, bongos and more. I'm not knocking it though as it was my introduction to the piece. Mike Oldfield did a great version for The Killing Fields.

I don't think so, I've heard it before. I think it's to do with the idea of a relatively open structure in the branches, mainly for ventilation against mildew and the like, so if your pruning is done correctly for that purpose, then in theory a pigeon would be able to fly through unhindered.
