Apparently parents have to be constantly contactable by schools because schools can no longer cope with a child who develops an upset tummy, heavy cold or other minor ailment.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
@MrsGlaze it starts before they arrive. "Baby showers" !!!!!! Yet more vile imports from the usa to suck money from gullible people. Apart from the word "amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing" ( Jamie Oliver, ALL the Springwatch team , Francis Tophill think everything is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing) why do people use the word " obviously " when there's nothing obvious about what they're saying? We were chatting to a couple on holiday,by the pool and asking if they'd been to The Gambia before. " We've been here a couple of time. Obviously, we've done the Canaries too" !!!!!!! "Obviously"?? really??
I remember a few years ago Sainsbury' s foolishly decided it would be a good idea to have a fourth of July promotion. Unfortunately, the supermarkets have managed to convince the gullible to embrace the American version of Halloween
@Christine-21 I've developed a hump carrying watering cans. I'm just glad I didn't get as far as planting my new hedge or I'd be sitting here watching it go crispy. I'm in the Lakelands of Fermanagh for Pete's sake! How are things in 'the Port'? I could mention a few names but best not... BTW we're in the Potting Shed and everything is fair game, gardening related or not. Usually not!

To be fair, methinks 'tis the customers who have adopted this particular vile american import. The supermarkets merely supply the tat. If the customers didn't buy it, the supermarkets would stop selling it.

I'm not sure it's as linear as that. There's an element of putting it in front of people and saying 'wouldn't you like to have this?' and them thinking 'oh well, I hadn't realised I want it, but now you mention it...'. That's how all advertising works. They may find people like it and start doing it more (Black Thursday) but the beginning of it is rather more of a chicken/egg type deal. If we all end up eating turkey at 'Thanksgiving' then we'll know for sure.
