        I could, but the range of seeds from all over the world on just one or two British sites is so convenient. My few former forays onto E Bay etc. didn't produce good results.
        Strangely, French customs don't seem to have as much of a problem with stuff coming from countries other than UK. I wonder why....:whistle:

                It's always been the other way round in my experience.

                    I can't work this one out.

                    A couple of weeks back we booked a spot for an online live theatre performance. Looked at the web site just now - they have sold out.

                    How does that work then - surely online broadcasts would be unlimited - after all no one is taking up a theatre seat.

                    Can't believe it's lack of band width - or is it?

                    Zoom and the like put limits on numbers of participants, pay more and they allow more.
