Go on Chris. I can always edit or delete it!!

It refers back to the chat last night and would go something along the lines of

Oh No LJ not again

Benacre, this sounds like Mrs D's avatar!!!!!!

This was mentioned to her as rather Risque.
Brings Lotties into a new meaning again doesnt it.

Nice one Chris!!

Peter I don't know what you mean!!

[ChrisB]

I think ones point of view of this will depend on which side of the fence you're on - waiting for a lottie or got one or two or maybe three

When you're on a waiting list and champing at the bit wanting to get going, it is very frustrating knowing that people have four plots and only got themselves and the dog to feed, but on the other hand if they've put all the work into it why should they have to give any up, paricularly if they are all well cultivated

There is no easy answer to this one

[Peter]

There is an easy answer.

Use it or loose it.

If there is demand and a plot is not being cultivated, the tenant gets a warning, no action within (lets say) three months, they get one months notice, no action within that month bye-bye and hello new tenant(s).

Perhaps, use Piglets post as an example on low demand.


Obviously extenuating circumstances accounted for, but not in perpetuity.

[Benacre]

Yea our rep sends out warning letters and it works very well. As I say luckily there are only a few non conformists. I have lost count of the number of times someone says "Oh I would like an allotment" but they don't realise the work needed to keep one up. and above all clean.
If someone is ill we do rally found and help keep the plot clean but as I also said there are many who just want to keep themselves to themselves and that is no problem at all.

Oii! I resemble that remark!

I though that but was too much of a gentleman

Yeah Right Mr Grief!! Lol!

I want to say something very cheeky, but not being a regular contributer I may be over stepping the mark so have decided to keep quiet

Chris, get posting, the banter is half the fun on the vine!

Piglet!!!! You are wicked!! I will have to take you in hand!!!!

Mr D just said ' Lucky Piglet!!!'

I'm afraid I dont think my avatar is at all risque, after all, I am only showing a bit of cleavage, nothing more than you'd see in any Carry On film, and they are certificate U (except for Carry On Emmanuelle that is!), so I'm afraid I cant see what all the fuss is about, and besides, I kind of like that piccy of me, I'm not very photogenic, and an ok piccy of me smiling is quite a arae thing, so it will be staying!

Rubbish Mrs D, you are, and it's a lovely picture,I think. It's certainly cheered up my OH!


Can you tell me how you manage to quote so many people all at once? haven't worked that one out yet

[Mrs Dobby]

Hi MB, all you have to do is click on the Multi-Quoye button at the bottom of each post you wish to quote from, then when you have highlighted them all hit the Post Reply button at the bottom of the thread, and it does it all for you! You then just add your comments inbetween the Quote and /Quote marks, et voila!

Hope that was of some help, and thanks for the kind words!

[madderbat]

I'm so glad they have an icon for embarassment!!
Many thanks. Hope things are well with you and yours.

Hi Mrs D , glad the avatar is staying but can you make it a bit bigger please

[Mrs Dobby]

Lol PW!!!! I'm afraid its already as large as the forum limits allow! 80 by 80 pixels is the biggest they will let my avatar be!

Having said that, the original piccy is still on view in its full glory on the thread we started about our plot, in the Newbie seeking opinions / advice / help, possibility of an allotment thread we started back in October, unfortunately its on page 2 (not page 3!) somewhere on here! http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...?t=2681&page=2

[nick the grief]

Struth if they were much bigger .... oh you meant the Avatar

All I will say is I can see Mr D is an allotment owner & not a Small holder
