Hey you are really close (geographically speaking  :))  So where is your allotment?

[grawrc]

That must be a bit of a tightrope Robert in multicultural Birmingham? ???

[Robert_Brenchley]

Doesn't worry me; we've got two continents and two religions in my immediate family, and three continents represented at church. My plot's on the Guinea Gardens behind the Botanical Gardens. Where's yours?

[grawrc]

I'm in Edinburgh I think Ann Hunter is nearer you

[ann hunter]

Yes.  Not too far from Ladywood, I used to work from the health centre opposite St Johns Primary ( ??? I think that was its name) Didnt realise there were allotments behind the botanical gardens :o

[Robert_Brenchley]

I know where you were, if that's St. John's in St. Vincent St. West. I go to the Methodist church on the corner there.

[ann hunter]

When I was 10 - I walked from Broad Street to the Botanical Gardens - on my own - offered a banana to a monkey - monkey didn't like banana so bit the end off my finger.

Had to walk all the way back home, holding the tip of my finger on.

I was 'told off'!!!

Nowadays they'd make a terrible fuss and you'd have to spend the rest of the day in the A&E. Things were a bit saner back then.

Ah back then your parents made a terrible fuss about how naughty you were: now the state does it.
