		English Nature had previously stated: "If public consultation is reopened for the various options on routes for the A34 bypass, English Nature will again present evidence and review its position as necessary according to the information available at the time" [6].
		According to the logic English Nature used to designated the SSSIs, only the rivers and waterbodies were of sufficient scientific interest or concern to them; but the decision to widen the bridges suggests very strongly that the SSSI boundary should have included an area of the riverbanks to begin with.

		They also debate the extent to which haiku in English should observe the same rules that are taken to apply to haiku in Japan, noting that in the land where haiku was born there have, in fact, not been constant, undisputed rules.
		So as not to humanise (and so patronise) the things of Nature, the English haiku poet is wary of personification and anthropomorphism, even though their use is tolerated in ancient and even modern Japanese poetry.
		A large number of poets writing haiku in English, possibly the majority, feel that the haiku length of less than 17 syllables is 'natural', 'sounds right', and is 'enough for the purpose'.
