Hats ...Yes I'm with Grit there - wouldn't even try! Hats off to you for braving it Min. <BR/><BR/>My dad's on an allotment committee. It's a way of carrying on all that going-to-work vibe for them after they've retired I think. You know, judging, assessing, arguing, gossiping etc. Beats me why they bother! He loves it though. <BR/><BR/>He does dig other people's plots though to be fair. Hey, you could come and live here and get complained at on home ground instead ;-)Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707661738889563273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042481797612983566.post-11368560780178542542008-03-19T21:28:00.000+00:002008-03-19T21:28:00.000+00:00Apparently, an "Extra-Ordinary Meeting of the Asso...Apparently, an "Extra-Ordinary Meeting of the Association" is being held tomorrow!! Committee members have resigned en masse, probably because they are fed up of old farts complaining about silly things. Me predicts fisticuffs and lots of shouting so am going to bag myself a ringside seat!!! I asked another fellow allotmenteer if he knew what the hell was going on...and he, too, reckons that it's down to too many old blokes with too much time on their hands who have nothing better to do than argue!!! Shame...they could have used their energy to help dig my plot!! lol!Minniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770118579029775245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042481797612983566.post-53351701110414039232008-03-18T23:17:00.000+00:002008-03-18T23:17:00.000+00:00for exactly those reasons we have avoided the allo...for exactly those reasons we have avoided the allotments ... within the first month we'd have an allotment court summons served on us, i guarantee!Grithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022216340604423686noreply@blogger.com
