      I pop in there occasionally (only very occasionally) and under a different name :whistle: :biggrin:. I try to support Becky and Ian when I have a moment as they do a good job. :blue thumb:

        You'd be very welcome. Last Bank Holiday in May :dbgrtmb:.

        Saturday is the day when GC members turn up (amid the hundreds of others). Good company, lots of plants for sale, cream teas, home made cakes, non-stop entertainment etc.

          I occasionally join in on the GW forum and find it on the whole helpful when I ask questions but have been insulted by one x-member, who was subsequently banned for insulting other people. There do seem to be regular rows over there. There are people who hide behind the anonymity of the key board. Maybe they feel some sort of power in that anonymity.
