    If anything,  this thread has proved that 8 people so far love AI.

    Come on let’s be civilised. I do not like the way questions are being replied to recently. They may be stupid to someone who knows the answer but not to the person who asks it. Even if it appears to be a daft question just take it at face value and be polite please.

    @arossrob this particular OP has a history of criticising UK gardening on this thread stretching back more than a few years. Those of use who’ve been around a very long time know him of old. It’s not a case of him asking a question because he doesn’t know the answer … indeed, he knows everything there is to know about gardening and all of us are wrong. 
    This thread was started with the intention of giving him the opportunity to slate UK gardeners yet again … we’ve not taken his bait.

    I must say, it's been such a pleasure reading all of your insightful posts, especially those sprinkled with the unique wisdom of our very own War Garden. I can't help but anticipate our next 'engagement,' where I'm sure I'll once again be enlightened by his particular brand of horticultural expertise.

    I've often found myself pondering the complexities of gardening late at night, only to be graced by War Garden's distinctive perspective on UK gardeners. The way he weaves inflammatory remarks with such finesse—it's like watching a master gardener prune a hedge into an abstract shape that only he can truly appreciate.

    I eagerly await our next interaction, War Garden. Your comments are like the unexpected frost in spring: utterly devastating but oh-so-natural in the cycle of things.

    I suggest another trip to Boots for more Imodium. 😉
