Bargain!

[Snadger]

Got word from the Allotment Officer to ask around if anyone on the waiting list would like to take over a bed 3m X 1m for £10 a year! Considering our lottie plots are roughly 20 X 3m X 1m beds for forty quid.

Replied jokingly "Bargain"........

He replied that the Council had already let a lot out for £12 a bed so it WAS a bargain!

This must be the Councils new way of cutting down waiting lists........by frightening people off!

They'll be dividing roundabouts up into spokes of a wheel and letting them out before long!

How the chuff is one bed of any use ? .......

How the chuff is one bed of any use ? .......

Well.........you can have two for 20 quid if you like!

S'd that for a game of soldiers.... I only pay £40 for 1/8 acre. What a ripoff ....

I suppose for someone who maybe lives in a high rise with no balcony, 20p a week would be seen as a bargain.

[Maddiesaur]

Yes, exactly as Bigmallly says. I live on the fourth floor in the middle town. Finding any "green" is pretty hard. Lot's of people in my situation crave somewhere to simply sit in the sun with a flask of tea and poke a bit of soil. To some people, that will indeed seem like heaven

3 x1 m?....just big enough for a couple of deck chairs!

Do they stipulate you have to grow veg on the 'plot'?
