Would you pay £5 to go and see Bob Flowerdew giving a talk? (includes refreshments)!!
Our gardening club has been invited by another club who are hosting him.
I like hearing him on GQT but do I want to see him in the flesh

I like Bob and his gardening methods so I'd go and any way if you didn't you'd never know what sort of cake you missed

Don't know where else to enquire, but could someone just fill me in briefly on what happened to the 'expert' soil and kitchen garden bit of the vine. I don't look at it every day and must have missed its demise/transformation/privatisation some days ago? Thanks

I mostly click 'new posts' so I didn't notice that bit of the vine missing. strange.

Noticed your post VC - wonder why the Expert threads have been hidden?

Could it be because they didn't like others answering or challenging them.

G'Moooooooornin' Peeps - still grey and drizzly here at the moment. I'm a little brighter, though.

I'd go, VC - curiosity, an' all that, and never miss an opportunity to learn sommat. I expect it'll be well subscribed, though. With you on the scissors!

I suspect the 'Experts' threads have been hidden due to the unwelcoming attitude they received. I would imagine the 'Experts' decided 'we' weren't worth their efforts. Just my opinion, before you all get ansty.

Coffee?

Lots of votes in favour of Bob - its not 'til October but I have to book a seat by next week. I imagine a basket at the door where you have to deposit all sharp objects before entering
Tis a mystery about the Experts - I'm amazed that it was noticed TBH!! Their role was unclear from the start On here we're used to answers within minutes, not weeks - so it was inevitable that we would chip in

[boundtothesoil]

Morning All!! Wet and gloomy here
Re the missing Experts, I searched for one of their threads and posted to it out of curiosity. Its appeared so the Forums are still there - but only if you search for them! How weird It was usually Grapes answering the questions anyway

Thanks for clearing this up VC et al. It's a bit of an odd move though. I thought there were some interesting and useful posts, but most would have been better off filed under other topics.

[veggiechicken]

I haven't really cleared it up btts, just muddied the waters a little more
I'm sure it will all come out in the wash

... I imagine a basket at the door where you have to deposit all sharp objects before entering ...

Great minds, VC! Although I suspect I'm only jealous, as I used to have enough hair to plait like that.

... On here we're used to answers within minutes, not weeks...

Valid point there!

Kettle's on again, any takers...?

Ooooooh - I wonder - is it a piece!?

[veggiechicken]

Its a piece of something Makes me shiver just thinking about the scrawny thing

[Glutton4...]

Nooooo! That's creepy, LD.

... we had a nice drop of needed rain,

You should've said, LD - we've got loads...

[rustylady]

Still raining here too We need it, but I have five bored grandchildren stuck indoors.

They have loads of toys to play with, and we have had a musical half hour, but all they want to do is go outside.

[Glutton4...]

Let 'em out, RL. Then lock the door.

[rustylady]

So tempted to follow your advice G4

[Glutton4...]

LOL You need to learn to say 'No' sometime matey! I know your lot need to work, and I appreciate it's none of my business, but they do seem to dump their kids on you rather a lot.

OK, that's my coffee break over - back to the vacuum...
