Where there were once trees, there are now the names of trees . . .

GRAHAM Turner?s letter (Times, August 10 ? A road by any other name) calls to mind the definition of suburbia as a place where the developers have cut down the trees and named the streets after them. We already have Monksmead and Bishopsmead, where one may search in vain for fields. Soon by the same irony we are to have a housing development called Tiddy Brook Meadows.
