    That is a very confused and extremely misleading statement.

    There is no link between autism and vanity, sorry that is just a ridiculous jumble of words.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    How is producing a garden whose design gives you pleasure, vanity? 
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    ...and people wonder why I have this person on ignore.  :|

    It doesn't stop me seeing the ridiculous, and often highly offensive, statements it makes as I can obviously see them when they're quoted by others. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    That may be how you find your mate/s ... some of us have evolved beyond that and chose our mates based on compatibility.

    Writing to upset or shock others obviously appeals to your vanity @Bede I am so pleased I don't see the world through your eyes.

    May I respectfully suggest you keep your future posts to the subject of gardening, I will encouage you to do so as many of the comments you have made directly to me have had  little regard for the subject.

    I find your posts on gardening, interesting informative what you are able to grow is very differnt from what will grow well here. 

    I am not expecting a direct reply to this post I know you will struggle with that concept.

    Good to see you have a new thread I shall read with genuine interest other gardeners comments. 
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    What happened to the OP, "geordief"?

    Or have we now basically established that was Bede's alt account!

    Obviously we are not compatible.

    Sorry you were confused and misled.

    No need to apologise @Dovefromabove. You have enough to think about just now anyway. x

    The fault lies solely with the instigator of the thoughtless comments.
