I know about recent stagnation in social mobility Dove. It'll be even worse once this business of student fees kicks in to the statistics. Crazy, short-sighted policy. Labour govt wasn't it? Clever Socialism at work - not.
Totally agree Obs. It's career politicians that screw it all up ........ all they want to do is be elected ... there's hardly any conviction politics any more.

I used to drink at the same pub as Ken Clarke and although our politics could not be more different, I admire him because of his conviction and his life experience before entering politics. He is also a very entertaining man.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Thing is, Papi Jo, I cleverly took the label from the pot to go and research the name and then more pots got added to that group and I have no idea which one it is now. I've heard of reine des prés and grew it in Belgium near the pond where it was damp. I have other donations with no name so we'll just have to wait and see what grows next spring and go from there.

It may have been a Labour government ... socialism it wasn't

I rather like socialism Dove. It's when it gets politicised and a capital S that brains stop working and it all goes wrong.

Never a truer word Dove.

Dove, that image looks familiar. It's a place called Hampi in Karnataka. We visited there some years ago.
Papi Jo - I've been given a plant called Reine des Celtes but can't find any info on it. Do you now it?
All I get is stuff on Boadicea.
@Obelixx,
"Reine des Celtes" sounds like a fancy name. Might be "reine des prés" Filipendula ulmaria? Do you have a pic?
