    Thanks Freddy, I'm the same as pete, just hadn't noticed. Nor does it matter. What a lot of fuss over a missing "in" and "the"

    Roll on the spring these long winter months are making us gardeners stir crazy.

      I think some members suffer from an acute Pedantic virus, John, during the Winter, along with a Soapbox Syndrome :hate-shocked::heehee:

        It looks like the point I was trying to make has been missed.

          My apologies Freddy - you are the messenger and I didn't mean to shoot you if it came across like that. I can see your point and I thank you for highlighting what the fuss is about and am certainly not putting you in the stir-crazy gang :dbgrtmb:

              Very nice to read 1 of our long standing and extremely knowledgeable GC members being polite. Maybe the bad weather we are experiencing is responsible for the less than friendly atmosphere which seems to be hanging over GC recently. Thanks @JWK

                  We see something similar most Springs here @JWK. Aberdeen Angus mums and calves get let loose about the beginning of May in the field next door. It's like the charge of the light brigade. Hell cows can shift, I've often thought I'd back 1 or 2 in the 3.30 at Kempton:). Horses do the same if they have been stabled for a period of time, however, unlike cows there usually is some sort of fight that goes on which results in at best a call to the farrier or expensive vet bill. Many people think horses and cows are quite similar, wrong, cows are much more amenable/sensible and easy to deal with:).

                        I've done it and hope I don't regret doing so. Looks as tho Forest Garden is maybe sponsoring the survey? Never heard of the company to be honest. Maybe big down south.

                                Completely agree @silu. Never heard of them either. Found a couple of the questions very hard to figure out due to the mangled language, but most of it was straightforward.
