  1. A really bad year for spuds on my allotment. wife complaining that they boil away to nothing..... Why? What have I done wrong.
  2. annoying habits e.g. Alexander Armstrong on Pontless who keeps saying " indeed" . Just count how many times in one show he says it.
  3. bulwell Brian - my mum worked in Frank Ellis shop. Although mums maiden name was Ellis she was not related to frank-as far as I knew
  4. BBC 2 Robert Peston on Shopping was all about grocery shopping in the 1950's and I was contacted to feature in the programme talking about the opening of GEM in westbridgford .The programme has been repeated at least 3 times in the last 6 months. The producer knew so little he had never heard about Ration Books.
  5. When I was at HP the girls from Padstow used to hang around the gates waiting for us coming out. Your old huts we used for changing rooms One doubled as the tuck shop with the most fantastic bags 4d each as I recall
  6. My neighbouring allotment bought a polythene tunnel greenhouse about 25 ft long by 12 ft wide. He was right upset when it blew away in the wind and smashed itself to pieces . It had a hinged wooden frame but that didn't help
