Where are you??
« on: January 18, 2009, 11:22:55 »
Just took this quote from another thread and thought the subject wanted another airing; 

Quote
Where are you?  (South is usually warmer than North) Do you have a greenhouse?

Each year at this time we are inundated with questions that at first glance requires such an answer.

To avoid this and to get you the answer quicker, simply fill in your profile to give the area you are from ( not necessarily your full address) or better still write it under your avatar.

Nearest town will do.

As you can see under my avatar;  my district is Huddersfield but I actually live in a village on the outskirts of town.

This allows the one who is answering the question to adjust their answer relative to geographical position.

It can also be quite helpful if when asking your questions if you give a brief description of your facilities eg;

I have/have not a greenhouse/propagator
It is heated
It is unheated

Personally if I answered a question that said; when do I sow such and such a seed I would be able to give you a better answer if I was also given all/some of the aforementioned information.

Please accept my apologies if this this post seems a bit condacending, but for some reason the situation seems to persist each year! Where I think; a simple adjustment/s like those I have mentioned above, could mean,the process of getting the information you want and need would be speeded up!

Thanks for your co-operation in this matter  TG

I play double safe - for those scholars of Roman history, I have it under my avatar - and I have a very precise location in my signature line.

I've been there!!  It's a fantastic site - a excellent Saxon Shore Fort - and the site up the road in Caistor on Sea is good too.  I would really like to go the other Caistor in Norfolk though.

just of the Norwich Southern Bypass, a beautiful site indeed, complete with a churchy inside the original footprint of the castle!  we sometimes stop off there to have a brew (got tea-making facilities in the van!! ;D ;D
