    we've just had letters to say our vote has been cancelled as not enough folk have stood for election.

    Is that for the council elections or the Euro elections?  If so is it a shoo in or nobody?

    I know you are right about voting, and usually it has been easy, as I have always believed in the same things, since I was a lad. Now, however I can't find any party that represents my views, or that I trust.

    Pdoc - I know.  Had the same problem in Belgium where there are so many more parties anyway and I worked with a lot of local politicians when involved in twinning and later on sporting and cultural stuff with the dance club.  Didn't trust many of them in the end and certainly none of the 4 main parties - Liberals, Socialists, Christian Socialists and Ecolo - but voting is an obligation in Belgium........

    Chicky - Mai Thai is lovely.  I had it in Belgium along with another "cocktail" and some others.   Love geums but haven't seen that many here except at ridiculous prices.

    Hello folks, well, it must have been mild, not only do we have the leaves on the water lilly, it has now flowered!!! Does anyone know (course, you do) the name of that massive weed that Monty pulled up and put in his wheelbarrow?Made me laugh, he says "keep on op of the weeds", I think that big b****r has been growing quite a while, does he have "help" in his garden, I wonder.

    Yes, he has help.  Never acknowledged on GW but they are there.

    I feel like you Pdoc, but I'm going to grit my teeth and vote. The Lib Dems made such a mess in Bath before, I can't stand the thought of them getting back in.
