And in exchange the neighbour might say "help yourself to a caauli when you fancy". No one would suggest that you were stealing if they saw you picking something from another allotment.<br />Mind you, if I lived in Yetminster, I'd be very tempted to visit a certain allotment one dark night with my "Roundup" spray!English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-38945612618009731442011-06-28T09:42:24.993+01:002011-06-28T09:42:24.993+01:00Lol.

The older rhubarb also blocks out the light to younger stalks trying to come through. So Mr Foster was doing the reverend a good service. <br />This big society thing is bound to fail. A few well intentioned folk will eventually get tired of running things and finally blow a fuse when the same slouchers fail to help out while enjoying the fruits of other folks labours. Be it a free library or whatever. <br />Things will simmer for a few months and then conflict will ensue before people go their own way. It's not rocket science. It's what's happened since the start of civilisation.RMcGeddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665173796157838927noreply@blogger.com
