Ahh just got home and made my tea to sit and watch GW - has it been 're-scheduled or have I got to wait another week?

Monty warned us last week!
Awww I must have been in denial haha. Oh well I've got NGS open day in my village on Sunday so lots of nice gardens to visit.
Aww no wayyyyyyyyyyyy
I get really fed up of GW being cancelled. Lets face it, how many hours of snooker are being broadcast? Surely a half hour break would be welcomed by fans? And of course , once the proms start we will be short changed again.
I too was looking forward avidly to 30 minutes of gardening bliss
Last week's edition- Monty did tell viewers ,at the end, that it would not be on last night.
So it should not have come as a surprise to regular watchers.
Always a good reason to trample the lush green foliage of GW.
Its not as if there's a red button resource.... Oh wait. There is.
But as I said, this happens every year , be it snooker, world championship gnat hurling, etc etc.
But as long as Monte is back , refreshed and on my iPlayer, I don't mind too much.
I called the BBC once to complain that the first day of the British Open had 11, yes eleven hours of coverage and GW was cancelled because of it.
I asked , that given there was only 1 gardening programme on TV all week, wouldn't 10 1/2 hours of golf been enough and leave us GW.
Golf, snooker, cricket, commonwealth games, olympics, proms, any random athletics meeting , football, and rugby world cups. Any excuse.
Oh no, gutted. I was just settling down with a coffee to watch it. Bah humbug!
Completely forgot it was'nt on. Left hubby in charge of dinner and rushed back from the allotment to watch
Why cant they just change it for an earlier/later time or put it on another evening????
Going to the Malvern Flower show, anyone else going?
