I expect there's a lot more unexploded ordinance in the UK than we think. I was talking to a demolition contractor who uncovered a grenade in London a few years ago. Re: the fat pollard, I checked with the site manager straight after the boom & later found the rather unimpressive crater where the bomb squad had moved the device a long way from the tree.

The reason being that the estate was an ammunitions works during the second world war. Interestingly, there are hollow oak pollard trees on the estate and these are filled with concrete. Apparently they did this to prevent incendiary bombs become lodged in the hollow trees. Great that they decided to fill the tree rather than fell them.
