Be carefull using that transcript, it's full of errors. You can get the original printed version of 'Wirral Notes & Queries' at most local libraries.

oldest tree in eastham? Eastham, Merseyside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Yew tree. Once used to make poison for arrow heads,and nearly every Church yard in the country had one!! Ironically it's now used to make poison for making cancer sufferers better. I was told that all the yew tree clippings from Ness Gardens are collected for this purpose but I don't know how true. There are some huge Yew trees in the grounds of Ruthin Castle but I don't think they are as old as Easham

On a seasonal note, mistletoe is also now being used to cure cancer. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/mistletoe/patient/page2

Ooooo. I did not know that. There are a lot of very clever people out there. I shall have a look at that website later. Thanks.

What utter nonsense. That's like saying the Beatles can't be regarded as great because they never won the X factor.

Not heard the one about Yew trees making poison. They certainly made bows out of Yew?

what a daft statement tony!! there was no european cup,weve only won the world cup once,how many great players in that team? tom finney and a lot of other truly great players never won anything.william ralph is one of birkenheads jewels,the scousers even built a statue in honour of him,something that his home town should have done for its most famous son.

i was using the likes of the world cup when comparing to players like pele and maradonna.
im not denying he was a good player, i was arguing the debate on the statement of "the greatest ever"
