Compo just moved house ,advice please, now got a much larger garden and was wondering about 'planting'. Roses,evergreens,Cordylines etc,ive brought some from my old garden that were in pots and a friend is bringing me another load,plus ive already bought more obviously also in pots. I love a nice garden and with pretty much a 'blank canvass want to get it right. Thanks in anticipation, Benjamin.

And mine !

It gets worse,they SELL two of the best prospects and sign a couple on the cheap or free transfers,and the Manager is not happy,and thats all before has been kicked in anger,!

Thanks BF, I see your points,but we are all different in our needs,me and the Wife are very close,but we also like our own space,as well as Hols together we also take hols apart,i love going off by myself a couple of times a year and she does the same,it works for us. Anyway good job did'nt get rid of my suits,shoes,shirts and ties.

One of my sons bought one this year, he paid £8000 for it privatly, and its lovely, i think its the luck of the draw when you buy that way,but he seems to have been lucky,he practicaly lives in it.

Retired last year at 68 after being a workaholic for 53 years,got diagnosed with a nasty illness just after,was really peed off and depressed,however now on top of my illness and the depression that went with it,thanks in no small part to my large extended family,and joining this forum has been a great help and i thank you all for that. I Have many interests and have tried to keep busy,but nothing has replaced my thirst for the work i used to do,anyway cut a long story short,today i have been offered a position doing what i love (accepted) when i like and where i like an

The only hand signals in use today seem to be the 'V' sign and that one with a 'clenched fist' going up and down,whatever that means!?

The two most popular brands of flour in my days at Marsdens/Farrands in the 60s were both Notts products ie, Be-ro as mentioned and Smiths of Worksop,both used to do 3lb and 1lb bags.

I ENJOY Garden centres,of which we have many around Notts, when i was travelling around the country i always popped in them,because they usually have nice Coffee shops,however for the last 5 or 6 years i very seldom make a purchase in any, (apart from coffee and a snack) because they are too expensive. you get some real bargains in Morrisons,i love Roses and had about 30 at my previous house all bought from Morrisons at 3 or 4 pounds each.Went to Trowell Garden centre this morning but bought nowt same type of Roses min.price £10,so i 'll be back to Morrisons for my

I had an old 50s something or other 'Austin' with the 'sticky out indicators,went out ok,but the bleddy things would'nt go back in,so had to put my arm out and do it manually,which was alright on the drivers side,but it did'nt impress your date,when you asked her to do the same on her side,LOL.
