    French Liquorice is disgusting it doesn't even taste of liquorice.

    even when the pigs at the trough are told off, they decide it's better to change the rules. 
    Unbelieveable.

    don't like being caught breaking the rules, so they want to write a new rule book.

    Confused by that Wild Edges?
    Greta Thunberg has been learning some local chants apparently.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    It even happens at the local level @Hostafan1,  I've now got to the bottom of the snipey emails from the local district councillor whose community budget funded most of the community bus project.  It seems she doesn't like my name being associated with the project (even though I am actually the project lead) and wants her name, and the full name of her budget pot to be put in.  She said to the editor "if you are short of space drop Didy's quote".  That way she, a Tory councillor, can countenance the bus project being mentioned in the Green party newsletter. It's about her ego and that she wants credit for the project.  If it goes wrong - ie not enough uptake due to lack of publicity - it will be me who takes the blame.  
    The item will go in - which I am pleased about as the newsletter will reach all the households in the catchment area.  But for balance with her name as a Tory Councillor goes mine - as a Green supporter!
    This councillor won over the Greens by a very narrow margin. Next time...

  • Just as I thought @didyw ... politics is politics is politics, at whichever level ... in fact, the closer they get to the grass roots the worse they sometimes seem ... 'cos they don't think anyone's watching 😡

    Oh dear!

    You're in a world of own.

    Just read your own posts, might as well start with this one eh?
  • Gentlemen … I think that by now it’s acknowledged by most here that you two have very little in common and are unlikely to agree about very much. Fortunately as you seem to move in quite different social circles that really doesn’t matter at all … 

    It is also obvious that your respective horticultural experience and approaches to gardening differ hugely. 

    Can I suggest that you both accept each other’s differences and move on … 
    Move on?

    If only. I'm just responding to snarky comments. Ignoring them doesn't stop them coming. So I won't put up with them.
    So … how are you going to stop them?   Clearly not by reacting to them like this.  You could just take no notice … or press the Ignore button … or 


    🥱 

    Tell me, why do you feel it your job for  you to get involved?

    To whom it may concern - I don't give a flying **** who started it.  All of you need to grow up!
