That is unusual but perfectly reasonable.

Other newsreaders do other things, some quite revolting.

Be very careful of holly ,if the neighbours or indeed yourself has
or are likely to have children, holly leaves can be quite
'prickly'. Next door put up a fence to keep our (inherited) holly
hedge at bay, hated it with a passion so eventually I removed it
,took me two days too cut the foliage from the trunks,had been
growing for thirty odd years so the root system was very 'mature'
took me two days too dig the roots out four days in all just to
remove a hedge. Maybe if the hedge had been kept on top
of with regard to pruning and thinning out might have been nicer, but
overgrown and dangerous as it was it had to go.

Puhlease...holly leaf scratches are not "dangerous".

Well, your other posting said:

I didn't say ban Holly I just said be careful of it.
Holly may well be "easy" to look after but the person who had this
house before us was an old widower who had no interest in his garden,
talking to the other next door neighbour she said the hedge was
planted by the original tenants wife to spite the local children
(grown up with children of there own now)
Must admit to being biased as having two kids of my own I was
continually scared of them falling/being pushed into this 'hedge' and
scratching
themselves or poking eyes out, and the leaves didn't seem to biodegrade
when off the parent plant, just lay wherever they had been blown 'jagging'
the unwary.
Had lots of scrapes/cuts/bruises as a child seemed to hurt myself
a million ways, wouldn't ban these things just because they might
be dangerous, however I see no percentage in deliberately courting danger,
by planting one of these things.
NOTE this minor rant isn't against Holly per se but putting in plants with
no regard for what they will grow into or how they will grow if untended.

If you didn't mean to say that holly leaf scratches were dangerous,
then I am afraid that you made your meaning abundantly unclear.

Still, who am I to talk?

Nick Maclaren.

That? Nah, that must've been somebody else.

Trying to make it look like a really large wasp was responsible?

I hope that if ever a wopse that big turns up in my orchard, then I'll
have a gurt big shotgnu - even an eight-bore praps - to hand.

Tis about time for those yeller-and-black hooters to start coming out
again innit. Praps there'll be one of those boodly huge queen hornets
lwking for a nest-'ole, like there was a couple of springs ago.
