Hi YR,

The answer to your question is no, nothing like the beeb board.

Its open all hours,
wider range of topics,
you can post photos, email address,
personal email service
you dont get your hand smacked or excomuicated,
admin is so very helpfull and has a sence of humor.
there is no back biting here
a lovely friendly group of gardeners who have welcomed us exbeebs with open arms.
I still go back to the other board but perfer this one like many others.
Teresa

hmmm!!  :(

Wanted to add some words under your thread on the Beeb Board, Rose, but guess what? Yesterday evening the Board had closed and today (see timing of my post), cannot reply because the 'reply' button is missing. Which, in the Beeb context, leaves me with only the option of 'complain about this post'...

I have no complaints about your Beeb post, actually  :), but isn't my experience proving a point??

I like it here, and thanks Oz, again,for finding 4all for us.

Cheers, Lishka

I love the Beeb boards, and the layout (seeing the beginning of a message, not just a title), BUT, their technology is outdated and so painfully slow, and the opening times (I work full time) are not convenient.

Also, the mods!!  I see there is a new one there - whatever happened to our lady of the camellias?

Hopefully they will get their act together....

Hi,
I'm a new girl - never been to the Beeb Board either, and I think it's great to talk to like minded compulsive growers  :P  I am considered quite mad in our household and the subject of my lottie is often banned - I am so misunderstood ! !  :-[

Title: Re: Hello all!
Post by: Hyacinth on October 08, 2003, 20:12:02

Ahhhh, "compulsive growers"!!! It took me 'x' years to realize that, if I could 'grow' a dandelion, then I could grow something I'd prefer to eat more, in the same space...

Yep! I've got my Veggie Patch, but then I've got my flower/shrub areas...and what more stately and attractive and (if your luck's in), fruiting than aubergine plants....or 'grasses' of chives...or carpets of golden marjoram??

I LIKE MY GARDEN! And like, also, the fact that I'm never far away from a source of food when I'm in it - Lishka

Nobody mentioned how very "clicky" the Beeb boards are.Some very strange people on I came over here as a blazing row was undeway over some one being called raceist because they had made a joke about Scotland.How stupid can you get I just couldn't believe some of the statments made on there.

BB, I have been reading the Beeb Board recently and I don't know what is going on over there, but  there  does seem to be a few really strange people on it who just seem to want to pick an argument.  :(

I feel a lot more comfortable here and trusting of the people who seem more like friends, and come across as warm and caring people.  Like you I am so glad to have been pointed in this direction.  :)  busy_lizzie

Don't want to start a war but it has to be said;-

They say the colour of the rose is Red
But that's a load of s**te
There's only one Rose that's Yorkshire.
And the colour of that is White.

Oh no! - for once I agree with you Hugh. We most certainly DONT want Mr 'I WRITE IN CAPITALS TO P*SS EVERYONE OFF'  on this site

Don`t know whether you noticed in the weekend papers, Budgiebreeder.

A Yorkshire farmer who tried to fly the Yorkshire White Rose flag was ordered by Council Officials to take it down until he had bought a licence, costing £60, to fly it.

The ghost of Richard, Duke of York, will be rising from his grave and rallying his troops!

Post by: budgiebreeder on December 22, 2003, 14:54:00

No I didn't see that Hugh.I didn't know that you needed a licence to fly a flag.Bureaucracy gone mad again.Excuse me while I just nip out and take mine offof the top of my Aviary.

Title: Re: Hello all!
Post by: Garden Manager on December 22, 2003, 19:04:58

Cor, beaurocracy gone mad or what. I dont thing they even like the cross of st george appearing too much these days. Seen as racist or something.  Tell you what I'd fly the flag (if i had one) and dare them to do somthing about it!!

For Richard_F,

Flying St George's Cross - "racist or something".  Problem is that there are individuals and groups who do this as a racist gesture - sad, underhand and sneaky, but true.  

And improbably funny, since St George, born today, would have a Turkish passport!

All best - Gavin
